Title: Is it me or this forum fast as hell? Post by: ShroomsKit on April 19, 2013, 03:32:58 PM Compared to 9 out of 10 forums. I'm really impressed with the speed. Especially if you consider the amount of users here.
I wonder what their hardware and software setup looks like. Title: Re: Is it me or this forum fast as hell? Post by: nobbynobbynoob on April 19, 2013, 03:36:43 PM Yes, it's blazin' like fire at the moment. It was a tad slower during the recent DDoS attacks. ;D

Title: Re: Is it me or this forum fast as hell? Post by: nobbynobbynoob on April 19, 2013, 03:39:51 PM Yep, this new server is awesomely fast ;D I guess some of the BTC6000 we donated to the forum may have been put to work! :) Title: Re: Is it me or this forum fast as hell? Post by: ShroomsKit on April 19, 2013, 03:45:46 PM Yep, this new server is awesomely fast ;D Would you mind sharing some basic specs of the server? Title: Re: Is it me or this forum fast as hell? Post by: MiningBuddy on April 19, 2013, 03:50:31 PM Yep, this new server is awesomely fast ;D I guess some of the BTC6000 we donated to the forum may have been put to work! :) Cool. Is it hosted in the Netherlands? Yes. And when you say provided by, are they paying for the server or are we using forum funds to pay them for the server? They're paying for it in exchange for some advertising. Yep, this new server is awesomely fast ;D Would you mind sharing some basic specs of the server? Before: - Core 2 Duo T7700 @ 2.4GHz - 4 GB memory - Slow hard drive After: - Xeon E31240 @ 3.30GHz - 16 GB memory - 2 SSDs in RAID 1 I think this'll be enough for a while. :) Title: Re: Is it me or this forum fast as hell? Post by: ShroomsKit on April 19, 2013, 04:01:02 PM Awesome, thanks!
I should look into getting ssd's in my server as well. Title: Re: Is it me or this forum fast as hell? Post by: psybits on April 21, 2013, 02:32:23 AM Hey that's nice to see the specs this is hosted on - good to know :)
Title: Re: Is it me or this forum fast as hell? Post by: Remember remember the 5th of November on May 19, 2013, 06:49:20 PM Yeah, the website must be hosted at Google, it opens waay fast than any local website.
Title: Re: Is it me or this forum fast as hell? Post by: theymos on May 19, 2013, 07:04:25 PM The forum gets about 152 requests per second. I'm pretty happy with the performance. Even though it's a bad comparison due to the immense size difference, it's funny that the forum is usually faster and less error-prone than Reddit, a site with corporate support and professional programmers.

There was a period where Reddit had explosive growth while losing two competent sysadmins (http://www.reddit.com/r/blog/comments/g66f0/why_reddit_was_down_for_6_of_the_last_24_hours/) (link to the post of one of them complaining about Amazon) at the worst time in regards to their growth (not to mention this happened at same time as the whole debacle with Amazon's EBS system (http://blog.reddit.com/2011/03/why-reddit-was-down-for-6-of-last-24.html)). That incident is used a lot to point out their problems. You're right though, even with competent sysadmins, they still have issues quite often. I often wonder if everything bad with reddit is often Amazon-related. On a side note, I thought the recent AMA of a former Amazon worker was interesting. (this is just the highlights (http://www.networkworld.com/news/2013/051713-amazon-reddit-269890.html)) Title: Re: Is it me or this forum fast as hell?
