I don't know if this has been mentioned elsewhere, but I had a problem accessing this site this morning around 9:15. When I finally accessed the forum, it was very slow and when I made a post it took about 10 minutes for it to go through.

I noticed the gap between that post and the one previous (I think by JackFrost) was several hours. Just thought I'd mention it.

The last few mornings I have logged in there has been that "server load" problem with our server.  However, today I wasn't around so I'll check some logs and see if anything was recorded but it certainly sound like the exact same thing.  Hopefully it isn't something awry with our forum causing it.

I have no idea why that happened other that it being a bug in the mod that won't allow regular members post spoilers in PMs (you can still post them on the boards?).  I'll check the code again as I manually installed it and could have made an error somewhere (has been know to happen).

I am getting a little tired of the server load continually spiking even though I realise it not essentially the host's fault, but more likely another account on the server hogging the resources.

Most of you probably miss it but every now and then we get periods whereby the pages struggle to load, and they can last up to an hour at a time.  I am constantly in touch with the host and they monitor the server 24/7 to try and catch what is causing it, and they have offered to move us on a couple of occasions.

Today, after another bout of server load spiking I requested that the site be moved to a less busy server as they had offered.  This shouldn't be much trouble for them and I don't think we will have a propagation period as such, but if there is a break in service you'll know why it has happened and you should keep trying until it is all resolved.

I noticed that couple last days it takes much longer time to page load up than earlier.
Otherwise when I log in,no problem at all.
i'm waiting for someone to start an antisocial networking site.

As I have mentioned a couple of posts ago, we are now going to jump server.

All it takes is another account on a shared server to do something like a huge mail out, for it to tie the server up until the request is completed.  I was told that there were custom scripts running on our server set up by another account holder, and they were the cause of our extended outages.

No worries as we will be on another server soon and the service isn't terrible on this one anyhow.

I have the address of our new nameserver and we will be moved fairly soon I believe.  I would imagine that our service will be temperamental until the move is completed.

Stand by.

Same for me, from about 9:40am-9:55am EST, the site was taking very long for me to post replies, as in up to a minute or so.  Then at 9:55am EST, *bam*, back to normal.

Someone else on our server is obviously getting their money's worth at our expense.  I have had full confirmation on our imminent move but I don't expect a break in service - although there could be?

I'll keep posting updates.
