Default Admins: FEED THE HAMSTERS

They're not running on their wheels nearly fast enough.

(to webmaster)
Is the site being hit by the lastest barrage of google spider-bots? The local F-body club site had almost two hundred of them on it at once a few days ago... its insane

Any insight?

I think he's meaning to say that the site has been particularly slow in processing at times for the past few days.

I've noticed slowdown. That may be due to my slow-*** college T1 though....

I've not noticed any slowdowns, and the site statistics have been pretty "normal" ... Are these extended slowdowns or temporary?

I did have a lot of trouble getting on the site many times yesterday. It also seems unusually slow also. I kept getting disconnected, and that never happens. I would at times get website unavailable, the wesite may be having difficulty or is no longer available.

Yeah... I noticed it being slower than normal too, last few days. However, my school's T1 sucks so much ***, so it could just be that too...

At school here I had some problems about 2 days ago(took about 5 minutes to load, with multiple tries). But it has been smooth sailing ever since.

I'm starting to wonder if its a network issue somewhere, rather than a server issue.. I haven't had any slowdowns that lasted more than occasionally hitting the 30 second window when some clean-up events run (four times per day). Even then, you shouldn't have more than a few second delay in loading a page. Normally page refreshes shouldn't take more than a few tenths of a second if your connection is fast enough.

Can you guys post in here the exact time (with timezone) so I can try to correlate it with site stats? I'd like to see if its a network congestion issue or a server problem. Can't have LS1Tech being slow, you know
