Often times? How about all the time. I used to use stratics for UO years ago. At one point, stratics was a nice fast site and somewhat informatitive. But, at some point, they released a statement that there are some network problems and they are being looked into. Then pop up ads were added to the mix. They were eventually removed. However, ever since that time, the load time on the site has been hideous. And becoming one of a few sites that FC has thrown away their customers to, it sure doesn't look like it will get better.Originally posted by Meister
The slowdowns on the webserver are often times due to some hardware problem. I am not exactly sure whats going on there, but our Network Director "Jhariden" is always hunting down any problems and so far it have always been hardware problems with the webserver (we got 3 servers for the main Stratics stuff: webserver, forumserver and email server). The forums are ok the way they are, the webserver is a bit slow, i agree.. but that is not due to lack of bandwidth
