It seems like today the MAP site is really moving very slowly. Is there a problem with the site or is it just my computer? (takes an hour just to write one message)
Yeah, I noticed it too.. kind of hard not too.. I've also seen a few double posts.. i.e. I think someone edited a post, but it got posted as a new post.. so yeah weirds stuff..
For some reason the site is DOG SLOW at the moment.... it took about 10 minutes just to get this to post. :cry: Human sacrifices are in order if it doesn't get sorted soon. *Slip eyes his blunt obsidian axe head and....
Should be back to normal now .. a bit of a server load ....we had quite a few guests accessing the site As mentioned in the past -- MAP is growing ! We're currently looking at ways to improve the situation without having to sell one of the Admin's first born Subtle Hint
We're aware of the problems, and it does appear to be a DNS issue. Our hosts are looking into it - I ask that mapper's bear with us till we get this sorted
Just a wild guess/suggestion but could you not have a couple of domains like martialartsplanet.net and .org all accessing the same server/cluster or whatever your using if its a DNS problem, just a thought
I couldn't even get in boo hoo lol, I've had to wait since 5pm to get back into here and I've been trying for ages. It's a good job I don't give in that easy lol lisa xx
gawd, that was awful. Please, get some redundancy going - I can't handle that downtime crap. These guys rawk, if you guys are looking at this avenue: http://www.valueweb.com
That wouldn't solve the DNS issue. The domain is the DNS name, so having more of those pointing to the same server wouldn't help. Having a cluster server would cost a small fortune, and the data being mirrored across that would probably slow the site down some more. Sorry to everyone who had to either face reality, do some work or leave your home while MAP was down, but we're back now
