IT IS SO BLOODY SLOW ITS UNREAL!!!!!!!

ITS BARELY USABLE BUDDY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ya know if you allowed HTTP traffic like hipforums and city-data do (They are http OR https),it wouldnt be 1/2 as bad.... HTTPS is always slower and seeing we are having so many problems here,I think you might try my idea and see I am right!!

The last few days have been aweful........ Barely usable mate!!

I know its not your fault Todd,The host lied to you and said they were giving us a deal :(

Please contact the host and try to get us a faster connection like we had before they gave us this "deal"!! (It was quite fast then)

I love you Todd........ I am just trying to help you not let people walk all over you buddy which is what this host did when they put us on this!!!!

It has been a bit slower the last few days but nothing to make a federal case out of. Here we go again with your HTTP fixation, if you would use a browser that was updated in the 21st century it will go better for you. TJ has made it clear he wants to stick with HTTPS, seems like you are the one trying to walk over him not taking no for an answer. :horse:

Ya I dont wanna seem like that icecream,im sorry....

I was at the library using the latest FF a couple times and this site was still unreal slow........

I don't know how you can say it's slow when you made at least 10 posts in the last hour. Why does it always seem to slow down only when you are on here? I hope you aren't doing anything nefarious by flooding it with connections. Maybe it would help if you didn't open up 50 tabs at once when scanning the bases.

It would be barely useable if the server was completely down, timing out or if the posts weren't making it into the database. None of that is happening.

This is basically the same server we've been on for years. It has only 2 GB less memory. It would't make much difference.

The only difference in recent years is there are many more spiders/bots connecting at the same time. I've spent a lot time blocking their IP addresses, but there are always new ones connecting. There's really not much more I can do other than keep blocking them.

Im sorry Todd,I know your trying buddy.....

I love you so much!!

As icecream mentioned, maybe if you updated your browser to something from the 21st century it will go better for you.

Where is your VPN/proxy located? That is likely slowing you down a little bit. It takes extra hops to get here.

Right now there are 19 users logged in and 901 "guests." That's an unbelievably high number. I guess that's largely bots/crawlers, but I can't imagine there are anywhere near that number of search engines wanting info.

901 guests is a low number. There were almost 30,000 online in March.

Most users ever online was 29,684, 03-27-2024 at 07:05 AM.

I've done everything possible to block them by IP address or user agent. I've tried to slow them down to limit their crawling. It would be fine if they limited the amount of pages they are indexing. There's all kinds of bots/crawlers scanning pages for AI purposes. It becomes much slower when hundreds of them are connecting at the same time. Those connections need to close and clear before more are allowed.

It will run fine for 3-4 months without any major issues. Then there will be a few days when it runs noticeably slower.

But like I told you in email I use the same proxy to get to my friend Pauls site (www.cableforum.co.uk/board/) and its super fast!!

Its not the proxy.........

I think you are a bit spoiled by the speed on other sites. There's always going to be fluctuations when it slows down at certain times of the day. It's an exaggeration to say they are barely useable.

I could complain to our host, but they would just look at the server load and stats and say it looks fine. It would only appear slower if you are actually on here navigating from page to page, searching and making posts.

It's hard to say how active those Cable Forums are because they limit what you can see as guests. If you're using a proxy from the UK, their site is going to load faster.

Just looking at some of their forums at a glance, they don't appear to have as many active threads as us. They have a similiar number of users and guests online.

Currently Active Users: 1545 (15 members and 1530 guests)
View Who's Online
Most users ever online was 16,244, 22-04-2022 at 08:07.

Maybe they are paying much more for their server costs. Some sites like city-data have much bigger budgets than us for their hosting.

I’ve heard good things about their member screening process.

Yes! I agree ! Fix this site or else I'm outa here I tell ya, outa here !!

LOL

I was going to tell him to stop threatening us with a good time without him. :lol:

Im sorry Todd,I know your trying buddy.....

I love you so much!!

I dont mean to be rude, but I can kinda see why the other site banned you over and over. This is a bit much.

That being said, the site does load kinda slow for me as well, but it runs slightly faster if I change to a skin that isnt plastered with ads or pictures lol.

I could complain to our host, but they would just look at the server load and stats and say it looks fine. It would only appear slower if you are actually on here navigating from page to page, searching and making posts.Yes buddy please complain!

AN IDEA!!: Invite someone Todd from the host to come here,I GUARANTEE THE SPEED WILL BE FIXED WHEN THEY SEE HOW SLOW IT IS!!! (Sometimes they gotta see first hand before they will fix it)

I wont say anymore.......... Just ask someone from your host to come to this site and they will see!!

Thank you TJ :)


Im not trying to make anyone mad but like Dead2009 said above THIS IS A BUT MUCH!!

Lets get this fixed :)


I love you all!


EDIT:

I wanted to add The portal loads fine (sitcomsonline.com) its just the VBB site (sitcomsonline.com/boards)

Todd I will help you... If you will tell me who your host is,I will make sure they fix it!!


EDIT2:

I emailed someone about this.... Lets see if we can get it fixed!!

Im behind ya Todd 100%!!!

i hate to be ungrateful. But it really is slow and has been slow for a long time.

I don't want to call them ungrateful, but I think some people just like to complain about a free service. We have some people who whine and complain relentlessly about everything, not just about the speed of this site. When it ran well without any major issues for the last 3-4 months, no one said a word. It runs a little slower than usual at times for a couple days and people are all up in arms. You would think the world was ending.

Would I want it to run faster more consistently? Yes. Is it barely usable? Not at all. It has never been lightning fast like city-data. They are probably paying at least $10,000 a month for their server. I have to keep it on an affordable server.

I would love to move it to a better server with more memory, but it has been a struggle the last few years to even keep it online. Thankfully some kind folks chipped in with some donations.

It doesn't get anywhere close to the amount of traffic that it used to. People don't use forums like they did in the past. Many people are obviously running ad blockers.

I could turn off some of the features like the search, avatars, signatures and other options. I could completely hide it from all guests, bots and crawlers. That might make it more difficult for people to find us in the search engines. It might run a little better, but it would be a little less enjoyable and fun without those options.

Im sorry Todd I know its hard for you........ I dont wanna make things harder buddy......

How can a server be slower?? Unless its running on Win95 maybe.....

I guess I dont understand buddy......... Im sorry for bitching so much..... Im just very sad.... I miss my friends so much :(

I can see how hard it is to get things fixed..... They havent done anything since my email to them....... Its like they dont care and thats sad.......


Im sorry everybody :(

I can see how hard it is to get things fixed..... They havent done anything since my email to them....... Its like they dont care and thats sad.......

What is this in relation to? Who are "them" and "they"?

Well I emailed someone and asked if they would please look into tihs...

I invited them to the site here and asked when they saw how slow it is if they would try to fix it for us... Something isnt configured right,this is the slowest site I am on..........

Todd is my friend,I wanna try and help him...........

I had an old Mac (2011 or 2012) a few years ago that had only 2 Gb memory. There were constant messages suggesting I log off a site (most often, Facebook, which I no longer visit). All the crawlers and bots may be overloading this server.

Also, if you contacted the provider somehow, I doubt you'd get any response since you're not the client.

Ya might be right......... Ya figure they would wanna fix it anyway seeing they are hosting it..

One time letsrollforums.com was flagged again and down (temp suspended) and I emailed the host and asked them to please fix it..... I said im sorry they may be getting complaints about the content on Phils site but I dont think it violates thier tos.....

The host got back to me! -- They said they were well aware of that site and they would reset it.....

I think Phil has changed hosts now,Im not sure..........

I was surprised at the existence of this thread, the site works fine, sometimes it might take a moment or two, big deal! TJ, keep up the good work.

It works but its quite slow and it shouldnt be!!

I am trying to help get it fast like it should be buddy.... (Todd knows I mean well)

I don’t think I’ve ever come to this section of the site but I came here because I too have noticed it’s been very slow lately. I don’t know what’s causing this but now I can see I’m not the only one having issues with it.

I was surprised at the existence of this thread, the site works fine, sometimes it might take a moment or two, big deal! TJ, keep up the good work.

Thank you for the kind words and for being the voice of reason.

This thread was only created because Dude111 chooses to use a proxy to access the site, which makes it even more slower for him. For anyone to call it barely usable when we have 99.9% uptime is insulting. It bothers me that he thinks I don't care and haven't done anything to try to make it faster. I showed him the .htaccess file so he could see all the bad bots and ip addresses I've blocked.

Everyone is going to have their own defintions of what they consider to be slow or very slow. The search is always going to take longer. These are my definitions.

normal - 3-7 seconds to load a page at times
slow - 8-14 seconds to load a page - there are peak times when this is going to happen and there will be a slight delay, but it should clear up eventually
very slow - 15-24 seconds for a page to load, there will be some duplicate posts
barely usable - 25+ seconds for a page to load, there will be many duplicate posts and timeouts - I don't think it has been barely usable since last year

If you are using a very old browser and a proxy such as Dude111, there's no question it will be slower. You get what you pay for when you use those free proxy services.

I contacted our host to see if they could edit the .htaccess file to allow http. They either don't know how to do it or they strongly recommend against it. This was their reply. They make some valid points.

Microsoft retired Internet Explorer in 2014.
There should be no reason to use IE 6.
There is no computer or mobile device that can't use Chrome.
If your site is not running on https now days Google tags it unsafe.
So does Yahoo and Bing.
With this said if you are redirecting all your users to HTTPS and then change your .htaccess it will affect all your other users for 1 person.
Also, if this person is not hiding anything they they should use a newer browser.
You can change it if you want, but please make backups to files that you are changing.


I know Dude111 isn't trying to hide anything. He just seems overly concerned about someone tracking him down and knocking on his door. He thinks using an older browser and proxy makes him anonymous, but he should be very careful about what he says online. His proxy service is logging and tracking every page he visits.

If your site is not running on https now days Google tags it unsafe.
So does Yahoo and Bing.Who gives a flying crap what google says about a site. THEY DONT REALLY CARE EITHER.. THEY ALLOW HTTP ON OLDER BROWSERS! (Thankfully)

Change your UA to "MSIE6.0" and goto google and see -- This is all scare tactics!!

There should be no reason to use IE 6.No reason NOT TO USE IT!!! :mad:

There is no computer or mobile device that can't use Chrome.98se cant and I wouldnt use that spying crap even if I had to!!

With this said if you are redirecting all your users to HTTPS and then change your .htaccess it will affect all your other users for 1 person.It isnt affecting spiritualforums.com!!

Also, if this person is not hiding anything they they should use a newer browser.I am not hiding anything,I prefer my privacy however!!

You can change it if you want, but please make backups to files that you are changing. Yes Todd please dont listen to these moronis idiots...... They are part of the big plan to scare people... They cant be this stupid!!!!!

I dont have an agenda. They do....TO KEEP ALL OF YOU SCARED AND IN THIER CONTROL!!!!

Todd I told you what to add to the access file. Nothing bad will heppen!!!

I CANT BELIEVE THE BS THEY FED YOU......DONT LISTEN TO THEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! -- They want everyone following the current agenda!!

I am so pi$$ed I cant tell ya dues.... THEY GAVE IT AWAY IN PLAIN SITE!!

"If the user has nothing to hide they should use a new browser" (Meaning they dont care thier every move is monitored)

That says it all right there http://web.archive.org/web/20060504011045/http://www.myfilestash.com/userfiles/thedude/icon04.gif

EDIT2:

Thank you Todd for being paitent with me,I was just trying to help.....

This amount of paranoia about HTTPS is not healthy. Time to let it go already. SO is only that slow for you because you refuse to update your antique browser. ohno:

I guess, Dude, you have a couple of options:

1. Continue to use the free proxy server to access SOL. I'm not sure why you consider IE6 and free proxy servers the good guys and any browser other than IE6 the bad guys. I'm able to access SSL sites and non-SSL sites (I access two of those regularly) with my browser.

2. Use a newer browser, and recognize that the world does not have to adapt you; rather, you sometimes must adapt to the world.

I'm not saying this is easy. In my case, I get irritated--the latest being that Subway about a month ago gave me a printed QR code for reloading their gift card, in a promotion going thru June--the code rings up a free 6 inch sub. The next time they did it, the clerk told me I had to use their app and flash the QR code from my phone. I don't want to load their app. I used their contact form and complained, but eventually they will tell me that's the way it works.

So I will either have to do what they want, or not get a free sub.

Point being, we face these kinds of things all the time, as the world changes.

3. Discontinue use of the proxy server and discontinue using SOL.

I got paid back for the above post. The quick reply timed out, and defaulted to a regular reply and a duplicate post that I deleted.

But, you get used to it, and life goes on!

I will continue to look for a workable solution. I don't have a problem changing it, as long as it doesn't negatively impact the majority of users.

I added the Dude111 smilie for times when he really explodes with anger.

:dude111:

https://marriagerevolution.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/image001.jpg

Nothing wrong with the site on my various devices (desktop, laptop, iPhone).

Let's be honest for a moment. It's going to run slower for Dude111 than almost anyone else primarily due to his own personal choices and eccentricities. It probably runs two or three times slower for him than anyone else. I can understand why he complains more than anyone else. I would do the same if I had to jump through hoops to access a site I love.

1) He has an older computer running Windows 98 SE.

2) He's running the discontinued Internet Explorer 6, which was released way back on August 24, 2001.

4) He uses a free proxy server. It appears the one he's using now is in Montreal. He should pick one closer to his real location or our server location in California. The one he's using now is garbage. A proxy server is going to slow down every site he visits.

4) He might not have the fastest internet connection. Internet speed can be a major factor. It's not always our server to blame. Maybe he can post a screenshot of a speed test.

Im using one in Las Vegas right now and its the same basically as when I use the one I usually use....... City-data is rippin' fast over this (Any server I pick on this one (Las vegas,etc))

Who honestly cares about another forum and the tools they're using? Everyone has tried to give you advice from updating your browser to no longer using a proxy and your replies are essentially "Google is out to get you, DONT LET THE MSM GET YOU TOO".

I commend the admin of this site as well as the other staff members who have calmly allowed you to vent, any other site would have banned you by now (but seeing as you have a proxy that doesnt even really matter). But at the end of the day they have told you they arent making changes for one person, and you just have to accept that.

Also, if you're honestly using Internet Explorer 6, that tells me you're using a dinosaur of a computer which isnt going to run as fast anymore and most modern day computers arent physically capable of running the software in general.

Im at the library now using Chrome and the site is slow as hell!!

Its not the connection I have at home and its not the PROXY SERVER I am using...

Its this site and until someone gets down on the service this idiotic host is giving us,it wont get any better...


Im sorry icecream... (I forgot your a boy like me :))


EDIT:

I CLICKED 'POST QUICK REPLY' AND IT TOOK 15 SECONDS TO COME BACK...


EDIT2:

34 seconds the 2nd time...

I never liked Chrome as a browser, too slow in general. Mozilla Firefox is what I mainly use.

K you're not getting it.

Im at home right now using IE6 (MyIE2).... Im gonna hit ALT-S and tell ya how long it takes..


EDIT:

It took 12 seconds to come back..

EDIT2:

It also took 12 seconds the 2nd time.......

1. Stop using Internet Explorer 6

2. Use a PC that was built within the last 2 years

3. Stop being paranoid. Nobody's out to get you.

EDIT:

EDIT2:

It would be more like 4-5 seconds with a more modern browser, faster computer, faster internet speed and no proxy server. It's at least two or three times slower for you than anyone else. Those are the facts.

4-5 seconds is a perfectly normal and acceptable loading time.

It would be bloody slow and barely usable if it took 25-30 seconds for a page to load.

YOUR IN DENIAL TODD.... AT THE LIBRARY USING CHROME IT WAS SLOWER!!!!

I cant believe this.........

Its better on what im using now than it IS on newer crap that has spam ads,etc......

For me, It's taking around 11-13 seconds for a page to load, and I'm using the latest version of Firefox.

I don't know if it's power of suggestion (by reading this thread) or if something has genuinely changed recently, but the last few days I've noticed a significant slowdown for me. I don't think it's a disaster or anything, but I thought I'd give my input.

Thank you Phoenix!!

This host is giving Todd horrible service and I would love to tell them off!!!!!

Nothing but lies.... I begged him not to believe the lies,I hope he doesnt!

Thank you Phoenix!!

This host is giving Todd horrible service and I would love to tell them off!!!!!

Nothing but lies.... I begged him not to believe the lies,I hope he doesnt!Please don't tell them off. The host is not giving Todd horrible service, you have been a broken record about this since long before this thread was created. The extra slowness for you is mainly because of you using a proxy and your antique browser. Leave the host alone, they don't need someone mad as a hornet giving them grief. It is bad enough you have given Todd someone you claim to be a friend so much grief. Look earlier in this thread he said he was insulted you are calling this site barely usable when that is not true. And it bothers him you seem to think he doesn't care. A reminder that he doesn't have the big budget sites like City Data have for a really expensive server. Let it go already and do not tell off or contact the host. We don't need them thinking Sitcoms Online has unhinged people threatening them.

I made two changes last night. It seems to be running a little faster. The server load dropped from 3-4 to 2.

max_execution_time
This sets the maximum time in seconds a script is allowed to run before it is terminated by the parser. This helps prevent poorly written scripts from tying up the server. The default setting is 90.

I changed it from 300 to 90.

memory_limit
This sets the maximum amount of memory in bytes that a script is allowed to allocate. This helps prevent poorly written scripts for eating up all available memory on a server. Note that to have no memory limit, set this directive to -1.

I changed it from 256M to 128M.

There's a lot of trial and error when it comes to some of these settings.

Its called paranoia. He wont update his browser because he thinks hes being watched.

Todd also said he's running a very old computer, or at least the OS is also outdated, like maybe Win 98.

So he ought to go to a used computer store and update to maybe 2012.

ICECREAM: It was slower at the library using the latest Chrome the other day

What do ya got to say to that??'

Why is Steve hoffmans site fast for me?

http://forums.stevehoffman.tv (Xenforo)

Why is Killermovies fast for me?

http://www.killermovies.com/forums (VBB)

Why is Daves site even faster??

www.videokarma.org (VBB)

Why is city-data that has many more message bases and traffic faster??

www.city-data.com/forum (VBB)

The portal here loads fast!!

www.sitcomsonline.com

Its just the "boards" directory thats slow....... Maybe Todd something isnt configured right I dunno......

I looked at the site and the actual directory is "forums" (sitcomsonline.com/forums) and if you goto /forums it delays and puts you on the "boards" directory.....


EDIT:

Maybe if the boards directory was deleted and everything was put on "forums" it would be faster..... (Not having to goto a different directory all the time)

ITS NOT ME!!!

If you had read my whole post I addressed City Data (and other sites like them that are likely owned by big corporations). City Data has a much larger budget than TJ and can afford an expensive server. TJ can't and needs something affordable, which you don't seem to understand! I am getting fed up with you praising random other sites like Gabe's stupid spiritual forums site, whoever Dave and Steve are, and slamming here, knock it off! :mad: You are not trying to help Todd like you claim, you just want things done your way. You act like Sitcoms Online is slow as molasses. It is certainly not that way for me and many other members. Again, please don't contact the host and be nasty with them. It would reflect poorly on this site.

Im sorry icecream... Maybe your right......

Maybe it IS the /forums redirecting to the boards directory that is the problem....

It didnt used to be THIS SLOW though....

I have been trying to keep myself happy buddy.... My latest acct on CD I have 10 posts :) (on various bases)

Todd said he cant believe they are still blocking me... He said he would give up after 5 accounts and let them stay!!

I read a message on the about base someone said they heard the site would be down by the end of the year...I wouldnt be surprised seeing how they treat people!!


EDIT2:

Im up to 20 posts..

Someone gave me rep comments on 1 of the replys I made on the game base (A-Z Boys names) - They said this

"get a life, loser" :D

I dunno who it was......

ITS NOT ME!!!

BUt it is. You're using IE6 which isn't supported. The man has suggested you update both. You wont, you keep comparing this place to other sites and that's ignorant and unfair. Also, library internet isn't going to be as fast as internet at home. Its the cheapest of the cheap and most ppl don't go just to sit on forums.

FWIW I think this thread has more than run its course.

Thanks for all your efforts, Todd. Above and beyond the call of duty!

I spent 5 mins trying to get here,it kept timing out......

Yes nothing is gonna be done to fix this so You can close it if you want to Stevie........

It makes me sad,I used to love this site and I can barely use it anymore.......


EDIT:

Im blocked,I made it to 20 this time on CD ... Lets party :(


Todd please fix this site.... You know there is a problem here or it wouldnt be slow at all!!!

It would load like the portal does (sitcomsonline.com)

Im not gonna say anymore of it..........


Stevie you can lock this thread.......

This thread has run its course.

I made some changes last night. It seems to be running much better in the last 24 hours than the last 3-4 days. I will continue to monitor it and tweak it as necessary.

Server Load Averages 1.85 2.15 2.29 | 1,069 Users Online (31 members and 1,038 guests)

For anyone who has a recent browser, decent computer, good internet speed and no free proxy server, it should be functional and run good enough most of the time.

I have to do what's best for the majority of the users. That means continuing to use https.

I looked at the site and the actual directory is "forums" (sitcomsonline.com/forums) and if you goto /forums it delays and puts you on the "boards" directory.....


EDIT:

Maybe if the boards directory was deleted and everything was put on "forums" it would be faster..... (Not having to goto a different directory all the time)

ITS NOT ME!!!

One final comment to wrap this thread up. The site address has always been https://www.sitcomsonline.com/boards . That's the way I originally created it. I put https://www.sitcomsonline.com/forums as a redirect for people who might type forums instead of boards in their browser. The /forums folder is otherwise empty.

This would delay and slow you down even more. Please update your bookmarks and favorites accordingly.
