Custom Avatars for all!!!

[Ohwell]

They were slow today, and yesterday. Unbelievably slow!

For me also, there has to be a connection.

Maybe this wasn't so good after all.

 

[IceBlaZe]

Slow for me also.

We should convince TF to move this to a rackshack dedi already

It's kinda like gremlins. Never feed a whiner!

 

[gonzo_for_civ]

Exactly. Don't feed the whiners and you wont slow down the forums.

 

[Hitro]

Why exactly should it slow down the forum significantly?

 

[anarchywrksbest]

Don't blame the avatars, the forum was fine yesterday.....

I think Gonzo is slowing the forum so that we will be forced to remove the avatars he hates so much. Get Over It Gonzo, they are here to stay!

 

[Knight-Dragon]

Seem to load normally for me.

Blame on custom avs? I don't see what's the difference betw loading up custom avs or our normal preset ones since the size limit for the custom ones is so small. Smaller than most of the preset Civ3 avs I think. If avs are at fault slowing down the forums, we shld ban ALL avs, no favouritism.

Several degrees of insanity maybe.

I cant see any problem with the forum pages, but an hour ago I couldnt get on the main page. I dont know if one has anything to do with the other...
Server problem?

 

[Becka]

Things are a little better. It may have been slow like this before custom avatars, but I'm not sure. Time runs together now.

And even Apolyton's not THIS slow.

 

[Hitro]

The forum has been down for me this night (meaning around midnight EST, maybe a little before). Since it's back up it's nice and fast

 

[Fez_Monk]

The forum was down for me too.

Since its back it is fast and loads fine.

 

[Ohwell]

Yes, it is MUCH faster.

 

[Ren]

I noticed no difference in speed... It was down earlier this afternoon too

From main site news:

Last night Telefragged moved the forum server to a new IP address block. It was a relatively painless process, but some of you will have problems reaching the site due to DNS lag. It might take a day or two for the DNS change to propagate to all the ISPs.

Hear that, gonzo? Now quit trying to blame everything on custom avs. Live and let live....

 

[gonzo_for_civ]

Quiet, they moved us because of avatars!! Down with avatars!! I bet you quakegod doesn't like custom avatars, this is punishment. Oh no TF, you have caused the wrath of the gods to come down upon us. Now you must pay!!!

That's right! Down with avatars! Either custom avatars or no avatars!

I don't understand about this quakegod reference....

Dutch of course.

And Gonzo: all the custom avatars are being uploaded to this server (which means I can't change floppa21's avatar any time I like ), so the forum is just as fast or slow as usual.

What's wrong with custom avatars anyway?

 

[gonzo_for_civ]

They are ugly!!!!!!!!!! Just go to apolyton and look. You will see heads, and symbols, and peoples ugly little cats. They are hideous!!!!!!!

@KD: quakegod is the big man at TeleFragged, the one you are supposed to e-mail and tell him that the forum is f*cked up and you think it's his fault. When you click that link it actually sends the e-mail to nobody@telefragged.com and I send it all straight to quakegod instead!
