Why is this website so slow again?

[mystro]

Yup, slow as a Miata in the mud.

[john walker's workshop]

we broke it, fess up. my slower unit at home is really slow. sometimes the website won't even come up, when everything else does.

It's Netflix tying up too much bandwidth again

I visit a group of sites daily, but Pelican is far and away (again, recently) the most balky and slow of the bunch.

Who knows what's up?

Time for you to switch away from AOL and dial up.

Huh? I'm on the fastest service available here. Oh, maybe that was a joke.

Seems it was 2 or 3 weeks ago the server started getting really slow again.. at times and then it works normal again at other times.

Maybe it gets slow when a bunch of people are using the search function at the same time and maybe thats using up the servers CPU and RAM resources as the old harddrives search through tons of old post data that may be fragmented and no where near contiguos.

Who knows.

It's. Not. Slow. At. All. What. Are. You. Guys. Talk





ing. About?





And I thought it was just a bunch o'crap bogging down my computer or something.

[Burkie61]

[manbridge 74]

Site is just not evolving fast enough.

PARF my boys, PARF.

Ok, I say this because I bang around on a few other supposedly enthusiast sites, and what a bunch of misers! Oh, they want you to pay a fee to be a member and register, or they want to limit the amount of pics you can post, or limit the number of days before you can post a pic, or a for sale add and on and on! Jeez..

I have one car that I've finally gotten it through my thick head that I'm just not gonna get around to bring it back.. so I decide to sell it reasonably and list it on a couple of sites for enthusiast of that marque.. well one pops up after I type and load the ad, and tells me that because "I'm not a club member," it'll be $30 to list the add or if I join for $50 the add is free! Duh! The other related "bbs" allows me to load, pics and all.. and then says that the add will be posted after approval by a moderator. Ok fine, except that was a month ago! I sent the webmaster and the 3 moderators a polite note asking if there was anything else I need to do, if there was a cost that I was over looking, and the fact that I'd rather offer the car to the community rather than on slezebay or Crack's-list. What a bunch of bumpkins!

So apologies for the rant.. thanks again Wayne for a great site, and its off to slezebay with the hoopty!

Again Good to meet you at the Coffee Shop in Bethesda. You have one patient Lady!! (I know because mine is also!)

I found that they do the Site Maintenance between 3 to 5 AM EST and that is when I always have my problems / issues!

Slow here as well - (Lower Mainland). I usually I find the fault to be with my ISP (cable). Everything seems to load OK, but quite slow.

Cheers
JB

[pete3799]

Slow here as well.

[NeedSpace]

Have you tried turning it off and on again?

IT Crowd - Have You Tried Turning It Off And On Again? - YouTube

Actually, I have had the same intermittent speed issues as well.

[john walker's workshop]

[Dublinoh]

Sometimes almost instant..sometimes 30-60 seconds waiting for next page of a thread

Should have said between 10pm and midnight 11/27/11

[poorshe911]

yep same here .. sometimes it's a bit slow but definitely worth the wait.
great site with very helpful enthusiastic car people.
