What is up with regular site server failures?

Whoever the admin is hes a noob, thats why it's so unreliable. There are hundreds of heavily populated vbulliten forums out there that run fine on a single dedicated server.

With the traffic it gets according to alexa/google trends it should make more then enough in ad revenue to cover costs for a colocation & hardware.

I guess when you get a bunch of dumb stoners running the show what do you expect...

Mgmt. Having been a part of this web site now for a while I have seen more server/web site unavailable more then any place I visit on the web? What is up? This is too consistent most often in the middle of the night....

mainly from 2am-2:30am the site has problems.

but rember that this is a free site that offers priceless infomation.

to help RIU you can donte like 10 dollars or so and get others to follow that way they can get new/better servers
 
I've found very few PHP powered open source scripts work well out of the box. Nearly all need considerable hardening to handle any kind of significant traffic.

I wouldn't be surprised at all if the site needs a skilled programmer to optimize the database and script code more then it needs a hardware upgrade. An investment in hardware is just throwing money at a long-term problem.

lol, overwatering sites causes hermies,sites need little to no water during posting.





I mean if a post falls in a forum and there's no one there to read it was it really submitted???:confused:
 
Why do some of you bitch about the site lagging?

It's free and you act like they owe you something...

other peoples dumb ass kids man!
 
I started this thread as a communication to mgmt. if they were not completely aware of the extent of the issue. Nothing really more. As for a free site I am greatfull as many are. As for donating to the site I understand the request. I also know enough about traffic that as popular as this site is and many merchant vendors would love to have ad traffic like this to push their products etc. Most web sites these days are a profitable web site if managed and promoted correctly with the following this site enjoys. Nothing negative to mgmt. here but with the site success in traffic there should be an internal site mgmt for issues of late as well as a sales/marketing department selling this site to vendors. Paper hard copy news papers and magazines are going out of business everyday while sites like this great one should be profitable and have vendors very interested if sold and positioned correctly to them. Then again I don't know mgmt. but if they are bandading the site and still in the hippy stoner ways of developing this site that is ok but should not be the case with the current success.
 
Advertisers? Are you listening?????? We're here and we spend money on our "hobby". Spend some cash and help get this site lightning fast please!
 
exactly. members here put their money into this hobby. It would be very interesting to see a poll of beginners who start with a couple cfls and graduate to full fledge hps and all the other $$$ included in the hobby. Much more $$$ then I expected but then again it more then pays for itself. There appears to be only one really truely word of mouth vendor that is successfull. This site is in a position to be very successfull. Where are advs. like Normal, high times, Lumatek, wholesale vendors etc. etc. All those companys need banners here. Think I need to consider going into business but then again all I want is to be left alone with some of my own sweet smoke and no attention from you know who. If it were legal id consider a new bus. venture....
