BoneKrusher+ 1,276 Posted July 15, 2011 (edited) Yes. The site has been slow as shit for me, for the past month. thank god it's not just me. when i posted a thread here about a month ago it was moved to the resolved section and i thought it was just me, i scanned 20 times thinking i had a virus or something then i figured out it was only happening when i visited TGP.

BigBen07 285 Posted July 15, 2011 *Whew* Glad to know I'm not alone. I'm also experiencing major lag. I ran a lot of checks on my computer to see if that was the trouble. Good to know it isn't from me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Anthony 78 Posted July 16, 2011 We may have to drop this host and go with another one. I'll have an update for you guys when I really know what's up. Yeah, it's usually the host when this happens and wasn't doing it before. They either moved you somewhere else or added another site with heavy traffic to your area that is slowing everyone down........probably porn When it's mentioned, they usually move you or that site somewhere else 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sarge+ 3,436 Posted July 16, 2011 We sent a few emails to them and were not satisfied with the responses. This particular host used to be suitable but they are overcrowding servers just to increase profit. We are in the process of looking for a new host. If you have any suggestions for good hosts that you've had good experiences with, feel free to share. Just as a side note, when it's time to switch hosts, TGP will be down for roughly 24 hours. Just letting you guys know in advance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sarge+ 3,436 Posted July 18, 2011 (edited) Not quite sure yet. I'll let you guys know. In the meantime, has anyone noticed an improvement at all? Just out of curiosity. Edited July 18, 2011 by Sarge Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sarge+ 3,436 Posted July 18, 2011 The reason I'm asking is, HostGator apparently moved us to a different server this morning. I have to say, I have noticed significantly less lag personally. Anyone else? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
funnygunny 521 Posted July 18, 2011 not me...unless they said that to use as a placebo, which if were the case then yes i have Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sarge+ 3,436 Posted July 18, 2011 Well everyone in the shoutbox last night said it's been faster, and it hasn't reverted back any today. Still pretty fast for me. Anyone else notice it being faster now? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SteVo+ 3,702 Posted July 18, 2011 I've hardly noticed any lag navigating the forums, but I have noticed some whenever I try to make a post. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sarge+ 3,436 Posted July 18, 2011 There was a really horrible stretch for about half an hour earlier. I have a feeling that it would just continue to randomly pop up at times. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Favre4Ever+ 4,476 Posted July 18, 2011 There was a really horrible stretch for about half an hour earlier. I have a feeling that it would just continue to randomly pop up at times. More than likely. HostGator probably just moved the site to a less crowded server to appease your concerns... But over time, we will slowly get moved back to those over crowded, slow, and lag-filled servers. It was a good decision to move on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
