... sometimes this morning it was not accessible at all ! And I needed to retry many times before having something on screen...

Was there any server update or something else ? 

Globat.com will be performing network maintenance during our maintenance window this weekend in the period from Sunday, August 7th at 11:00pm (PST) to Monday, August 8th at 6:00am (PST). Although we do not expect your site to be down for the entire time, we want to make sure our technicians have enough time to correct any unexpected issues that may arise. 

phait: yes, you can link to func from moddb. sorry i didn't reply sooner. 

I keep getting "RECURSIVE ERROR: There was a SQL error" when trying to access Func. 

when i get that, i can usually "refresh" and it works again. But i ought to fix that error message to be more descriptive. 

I believe so! 

Was wondering, have you considered getting a shorter, more representational dedicated domain for func_? 

there's no need to do that. I think most of people are so used to this domain (at least I am). 

But I don't see a strong need to do so. Plus it would cost more :) 

If you change your mind, I'd pay for it. What's $8? ;)

While I do have the site linked on a custom home-page my browser users, I'd imagine a dedicated URL would be easier for others. 

$8 is the cost of a damn good sandwich from Bear Rock Cafe. 

Have you changed the forum post headline font lately? I find it a bit harder to read on my system. 

my browser just had a fit. 

I think it outrageous that Func_msgboard doesn't have a FavIcon. Please resolve this issue immediately. Also, please add some popups and the obligatory Google Ads - thank you. ;) 

and maybe some flash! 

What timezone is this board at? 

Is as slow as fuck at the moment. We're talking an uber-delayed tantric sex 3 day fuck at that. 

Seems to be GMT-8 according to French timezone..
Shambler sent a message at 06:00, when here we have 15:00, and we are GMT+1 (in summer time) or GMT+2 in (winter time)... I guess the server is located in near California...
Metlslime, could you confirm please ? 

it's pacific standard time (or pacific daylight time, currently.) 

The site is very slow for me too. 

Poop. 

metlslime I know you are a busy busy bee, gathering honey for your queen, stinging overweight picnickers, and so forth, so I will give you the benefit of the doubt that you just haven't had a chance to look into the slowness factor.

I think you mentioned before that it might be the code, but it could very well be Globat's Amish Server Collocation powered by the will of the Lord and a sturdy loom. 

Thing is it seems to only be intermittently slow.

Maybe i'll set up some stuff to track load times. 

or is it my dns? 

Hum.
