It's fixable. I've done my fair share of vBulletin admin. More than likely there's DB tweaking that needs to be done. Or it could be the hosting package, but I would think the hosting here is pretty decent.

I'm working on the issue, not to be a dick but if you're not a premium member I kinda don't want to hear from you.

I'll be upgrading our memory this week for $200. Anyone wanna pitch in please feel free.

Shameless self-promotion. It is what it is.

Re: Server too busy..... Or not loading at all....

Hey I appreciate it guys, and I appreciate the support from everyone who contributes to the site.

Just to be up front, our server costs right now run around $2k a year. I'm tossing in $200 this week for the RAM upgrade which should make a big difference in helping to avoid the dreaded "server busy" message. With the way the economy has been, advertising revenue is really down this year and the site barely pays for itself. It's frustrating because I would like to be doing more giveaways but the money just isn't there.

Rest assured the server issues bug the F outta me, and when need be I will toss in my own dough to cover things. Fact is the site continues to grow and every few years we simply outgrow our digs. Time to move it on up!

Again, thanks for the support everyone.

Dude, you're the man. Don't sweat some people getting grumpy. I understand their frustrations but I also know how much has been put into fixing these types of issues. As someone else said, shit happens. We know you're on top of it.

What are you paying almost 170 a month for that can't handle 200 concurrent? How many queries are being served a page? None of this really adds up; are you on completely managed hosting or something? I'm not trying to put you down or sound like a know it all but you should be getting A LOT more for the money.

I'm on this for 150/mo:

Intel Core2Quad Q9300

  • RAM: 4gb DDR2
  • Hard Drive: 500gb SATA2
  • Bandwidth: 3000gb/mo
  • Setup Fee: $0.00
and this for 125 (will move 2nd over to first soon if this first one continues to be reliable)

Processor: 2x Xeon Irwindale
L2 Cache: 4MB (2x2MB)
RAM: 2GB
Drive: 160GB SATA
Bandwidth: 2000GB (100Mbps port)

I have a coupon that's 15 or 20pct off for the first one as well
