You guys need a new webserver.

Never seen the forums this slow before, it's taking in excess of 20 seconds to load a forum

Additionally none of the normal threads are showing in the mod or technical area either, just the sticky threads, heh.

lol, none of them is showing up for me

the only way I could see this is that I have gone to see more recent posts

Me neither. I put the most ominous interpretation on all this.

I'm going to guess it has something to do with the updates to make the forums more like the Elemental ones.

I've had this issue for about a month now. I'm glad it's not me.

EDIT: ROFLMAO. After I click the post button to reply to this topic, I got this.

Yea I've had slow downs frequently when visiting, but never as bad as today

I've also not experienced the posts being missing entirely.

There was a time when a page loading in 20 seconds was a miracle... just give them some time, probably not even on their end.  Likely another server in-between that is getting hammered.

FYI:  other than skins, these forums are the elemental forums.

 

Literally!  All SD forums share a common database, it's just that different websites 'link in' at different points in the heirarchy and thus show different things.

I know, but look here: https://forums.sinsofasolarempire.com/359583 Ok, I might have misworded my original reply a little. They're not making the Sins forums like the Elemental ones, they're going to have people invlolved in the dimplomacy expansion like they are on Elemental. But he did specifically say they are making changes to the Sins site.

Oh!  Erm... sorry; I guess I don't pay as much attention around here as I should.
