Gametechmods keeps taking ages to load?
« on: December 11, 2010, 08:21:37 AM »
GTM keeps taking ages to load (about 3-4 minutes). Sometimes, the whole website will go down and then randomly come back up again. It doesn't happen with any other website that I've been on.

Is this happening to anyone else?

It very briefly happened to me yesterday.
It could just be because there's a lot of activity going on at that point.

ATM though it's working fine for me.

GTM has been a pain in the ass for me to load since the new forum host took effect about this time last year. It's partially due to the dial-up connection I have at my home, but when we were on the other forum host it worked very well. That's a lot of the reason I hadn't been on much since last year.

Yeah. No high speed available in my area. I live in the middle of nowhere.

I could get HughesNet for $80 a month, but no thanks...

ACAMS needs to buy a better host with Memcached, since it's probably SQL queries that are taking so long.
