Tuesday, April 11, 2006 by kenwas | Discussion: WinCustomize Site Issues
That this site is becoming more and more difficult to access (without busy server errors) and when one does get in, the page draws can be so slow as to make you feel you are watching rocks grow. Seems to be the case ever since the new servers and upgrades, and site policy changes. Are all resources going to the gaming?

I know, I know. I have just about given up as well. Getting too stressful to even browse the categories anymore. And yet, not a word from the site folks.

I copy what I type on the forum just in case it goes into space, that way I can just paste my message, and try again,

New servers are being introduced later this week (I hope). I also hope they will be for subscribers only...

I thought we just got new servers a few weeks ago when it was front page news about the new speed. I guess I totally misunderstood all that!

I believe it's all about more than just the one server....

So - the site has been brutally slow lately, and all we get for an explanation is a wink? And does subscriber mean OD subscriber, or are we being locked out of the site too?

My point as well Davebo. I am like a lot of folks here that re upped subscriptions well into the future to support the site and since then things have gotten to the point of painful frustration. Things happen and I have sat through this for weeks now waiting for someone to say we are fixing this or fixing that and bear with us. But I have heard nothing, not even an acknowledgement that a problem exists. As for upgrading just for subscribers that would defeat the pupose as what person trying the site and experincing these outages and slow page draws would then sign up for a subscription?

To all,
We are working on things to make everything run smoothly for you. We have had lots of hiccups in the last little while with new servers and mass site hits with new games and other problems. As well as you don't like the down times, and the posts not going through; we don't either.
I hope you understand there are sometimes problems that happen in upgrading, but it is all to get things working better and faster for you. We certainly aren't trying to make you suffer here, and do listen to what you have to say.

[sigh] We're with you SD and WC, just frustrating at times...I have to remember what it was like in 2002 and B4. Thanks for working so hard on this. I can only imagine just the hardware side of it, let alone the software. How many million hits a day?!
