Seriously

Are they taking the piss now? Chatroom crashing every couple of minutes now. This is going on for months and it's getting worse by the day.

Yes it is very frustrating we have asked till we are blue in the face how much longer this is going to go on for It is killing the site and the community.

Hi all,

Deepest apologies, we're just as frustrated. We've been keeping tabs on the server after some anomalies kept happening and despite our efforts to increase resources and a few other things to help bring back some stability, regrettably the same issues returned over the weekend and multiple times just earlier today.

We've applied software updates and rebooted the server and the team will continue to monitor.

Its been happening for weeks now, you can almost set your watch by the time it happens on a Saturday night, - 11pm seems the favoured time to eject everyone

Maybe it's set in the past, and it's like the bell ringing for for last drinks in the pub.

Its been going on for months and months! All since the changes. You mention server and not servers? There is your problem maybe. You need to load balance the traffic. Also the underlaying infrastructure, is it fast and configured correctly?

Hi

I popped after the post I put in pool to Danadmin - noticeable there was no reply which I imagine is as frustrating for the mods as for the rest of us. I'll try and remember to post a ticket if the site goes down when I'm on but sometimes you get tiddled off and leave anyway

posted a message to one admin who eventually came back saying 'we don't know what causes the crashing' gives little grounds for hope really

At that point of the day no, as a process of trial and error there's been multiple changes made in order to ascertain the root cause. However we've had a positive discovery late on this afternoon which we're closely monitoring. We will know more once the chat activity builds up later this evening before breaking out the party poppers.

There's multiple servers in our network which we've been managing for 20 years. I admire your enthusiasm and appreciate you attempting to help.

It's been faultless over the past 18 hours. Our monitoring continues.

41 hours, smooth as you like. Will continue to review over the weekend and report back on Monday.
