Re: A lot of slowdowns recently
The answer is simple my friends.
We simply need to delete the backroom
"I request permanent reassignment to the Gallic frontier. Nay, I demand reassignment. Perhaps it is improper to say so, but I refuse to fight against the Greeks or Macedonians any more. Give my command to another, for I cannot, I will not, lead an army into battle against a civilized nation so long as the Gauls survive. I am not the young man I once was, but I swear before Jupiter Optimus Maximus that I shall see a world without Gauls before I take my final breath."
Senator Augustus Verginius
Re: A lot of slowdowns recently
Noooo! Delete the Tavern.
"Cry, the beloved country, for the unborn child that is the inheritor of our fear. Let him not love the earth too deeply. Let him not laugh too gladly when the water runs through his fingers, nor stand too silent when the setting sun makes red the veld with fire. Let him not be moved when the birds of his land are singing, nor give too much of his heart to a mountain or a valley. For fear will rob him of all if he gives too much."
Cry, the Beloved Country by Alan Paton.
Re: A lot of slowdowns recently
I don't know about deleting the backroom, but yes it is very slow. I got the hugest lag loading the backroom or getting to a different location from the backroom.

Re: A lot of slowdowns recently
If the OT forums are impairing performance, then IMO they should be pruned. I can't really see a downside to this: the Backroom has been pruned before, mostly without ill effect. AFAICT, topics over 3-4 weeks old are rarely worth keeping online, and Kukri can keep a local copy should anyone need something from the offline posts.
Even if they aren't impairing performance, it might be worthwhile pruning the Tavern every couple of months or so anyway. We are up to almost a million online posts now, a quarter of them in the Tavern. "Million post" forums are considered pretty large, even for dedicated hardware, and can be quite troublesome. Especially with M2:TW coming out in the coming months, which will probably have an accompanying influx of new and returning Members adding to the strain.

Re: A lot of slowdowns recently
I dont go to the off topic parts of the forum...except in this case to follow a link to here about the lag.
I have had slow downs like everyone else. I have been so unable to post on occasion that Ive given up and posted on one of the other forums I follow.
Ive posted many thumbnails onto this forum. PbM Carthage and Selucid campaigns for instance. If people are looking through those now very long threads, which contain lots of big bitmaps from other posters, would that slow down the service ?

Re: A lot of slowdowns recently
I agree. Some of the threads are rather useless if they have been inactive for more than 3 weeks.
I HATE BITMAPS!!! They are so annoying, please JPEGs rule so use them.
