Sorry, computer guy about to get moody...

Lately I've noticed that this board is soooooooooooooooo slow! Either reboot the machine or give it some new hardware, 'cause browsing at any respectable speed is impossible. Not that I am not greatful for what I am given for free, this is just a suggestion. I have been coming here less and less due to the fact that I have to wait 30 seconds for each page to load. Not as fun as it used to be.
 
Everything is still smooth and fast and snag-free for me, so my vote is: no. Lit is just fine. Thanks for asking, though.
:cool:
 
No it's slow for me too

Rest of the site loads fine, but the bulletin board does seem to have slowed over the last week.

Thought it was just my set up causing it.
 
I've been experiencing wide spread slowdowns lately. Mostly at Lit, but not exclusively.
 
Slowdowns could be anything from your particular connection to a slowdown of the Internet in general to Lit. having problems.

I don't mind the ocassional slowdown, what I dislike is the search function that doesn't seem to work and when I choose "quote" to reply to a post, and the post has multiple quotes interpersed with replies, I only get the text after the last quote.
 
Sorry, it's my sigline. I'll go change it. You can be expecting better performance in about 5 minutes.
 
I don't get it...

Search works fine for me...

Pages load fast.. I always open pages in another window.. (maybe this has something to do with it, i don't know)

Never had problems with double posts, unless I accidently hit the refresh button on the wrong page.

Hitting the quote button does exactly what it's supposed to do..

Why are other people having so many problems?
 
I haven't had any real problems on this site. I do on another one I go to every once in a while. That one won't load at all half the time.
 
I access the Lit board from two locations, both with very high bandwidth and on two very hgih end computers. It's just plain slow. 30 seconds to load a thread is excessive.
 
I'm having the same problem as Halx.. it's taking dang forever to load a page and i'm getting frustrated here.

Sometimes i'll click on a thread and halfway through loading the page up, it will quit and I'll end up with just a blank/ white page. So I have to hit 'refresh' a second, sometimes third time before it will finally fully load up.

I go to other sites, like my Yahoo mail, and I don't have the problem.. it's only when I come here.

Frequently I have to reboot the whole computer, thinking it's my machine.. but that usually doesn't solve the problem like it used to. I've even tried defragging.. nope.

I'm hoping it's just a phase :(
 
I don't know about upgrades

but I do know that I experience slow loading problems here, there and just about everywhere lol I mean it's 4am, not exactly the "rush hour" Laurel mentioned, and I still have to wait for things to download, must be this dinosaur PC, and then there are times things pop up so quickly, I have to watch what I'm posting where, especially with too many windows open. kinda like my sex life :D
 
Overall, Lit is going good.....but I did read somewhere
around here that Manu and Laurel are checking into
upgrading to have the site run faster and smoother.....

I have *exactly* the same problems and bot is it annoying when it decides to quit just as you try to post something that took a while to write and you lose it.

Trouble is, it's intermittent:confused:
 
No problem here. Pages load fine. Maybe I'm just lucky and no one else is loading at the same time.
 
Sounds like some of you are having server problems. Slow loading of pages happens now and again around here :)
 
The problem I was having yesterday was the edit function.

The whole thing (page) would disappear and tell me there was a problem with the BB. Well,duh, I kind of figured that out.

But it does take forever for the pages to load today.
 
Its been happening to me for weeks now. Some times are worse then others depending on the time of day. Right now (11am EST) is pretty good... it will slow down at lunch time... and later in the afternoon as well. There's a point in the evening too - between 8 and 11pm when it gets really slow as well. Obviously the # of people here (not just the BB I think, but reading the stories where most of the action happens) is slowing down the servers.

I, and at least one other person I know, also haver been having problems with the edit function. It returns an error msg whenever you try and edit a post. However, even though its not immediately obvious, the edit does go through.

It's been 6 days since Laurel posted that they were working on the "slow down" problem. Well, at least I'm not the only one still having problems getting BBS pages to load.

Hi again team! The work that we are doing on the machines is really just several interim measures until we can afford to buy another server! Have no fear, though, we are scrimping and saving our pennies and the second that we can get another server we will! It's all about the Benjamins! :)

Uhh uh huh yeah
It's all about the Benjamins baby
Goodfellas uhh

Verse One: Puff Daddy

Now... what y'all wanna do?
Wanna be ballers? Shot callers?
Brawlers who be dippin in the Benz wit the spoilers
On the low from the Jake in the Taurus
Tryin to get my hands on some Grants like Horace
Yeah livin the raw deal, three course meals
Spaghetti, fettucini, and veal
But still, everything's real in the field
And what you can't have now, leave in your will
But don't knock me for tryin to bury
seven zeros, over in Rio Dijanery
Ain't nobody's hero, but I wanna be heard
on your Hot 9-7 everyday, that's my word
Swimmin in women wit they own condominiums
Five plus Fives, who drive Millineums
It's all about the Benjamins, what?
I get a fifty pound bag of ooh for the mutts
Five carats on my hands wit the cuts
And swim in European figures
Fuck bein a broke nigga

Verse Two: Jadakiss (overlaps last two lines of Puff Daddy)

I want a all chromed out wit the clutch, nigga
Drinkin malt liquor, drivin a Bro' Vega
I'm wit Mo' sippers, watched by gold diggers (uhh)
Rockin Bejor denims, wit gold zippers (c'mon)
Lost your touch we kept ours, poppin Cristals
Freakin the three-quarter reptiles (ahahah)
Enormous cream, forrest green -- Benz jeep
for my team so while you sleep I'ma scheme (that's right)
We see through, that's why nobody never gon' believe you
You should do what we do, stack chips like *Hebrews*
Don't let the melody intrigue you (uh-uh)
Cause I leave you, I'm only here
for that green paper which the eagle

Verse Three: Sheek

I'm strictly tryin to cop those, colossal sized Picasso's
And have papi flip coke outside Delgado's (whoo!)
Mienda, with cash flowin like Sosa
And the latin chick tranportin in the chocha
Stampedin over, pop Mo's, never sober
Lex and Range Rovers dealin weight by Minnesota (uhh)
Avoidin NARC's wit camcorders and Chevy Novas (uh-huh)
Stash in the buildin wit this chick named Alona (uh-huh)
from Daytona, when I was young I wants to bone her (uh-huh)
But now I only hit chicks that win beauty pageants (ahahaha)
Trickin, they takin me skiing, at the Aspens (c'mon)
Uhh, gangsta mental, stay poppin Cristal
Pack a black pist-al in the Ac' Coupe that's dark brown (whoo!)
Pinky-ringin, gondolas wit the man singin
Italian music down the river wit your chick clingin

Actin hard when you as pussy as RuPaul

Interlude: Puff Daddy

On the low from the Jake in the Taurus

Verse Four: Lil' Kim (overlaps last two lines of interlude)

Uhh, uhh, what the blood clot?

Dressed in all black like the Oman (say what?)
Have your friends singin 'This is for my homey' (that's right)
And you know me, from makin niggaz so sick
Floss in my 6 with the Lex on the wrist
If it's Murder, you know She Wrote it (uh-huh)
German Luger for your ass bitch, deep throated
Know you wanna fill the room cause it's platinum coated
Take your pick, got a firearm you shoulda toted, suck a dick
All that bullshit you kick, playa hatin from the sideline
Get your own shit, why you ridin mine? (uh-huh)
I'm, a Goodfella kinda lady
Stash 380's and Mercedes, Puffy hold me down baby!
Only female in my crew, and I kick shit
like a nigga do, with a trigga too, fuck you
(Big: Yeah, yeah, uhh, uhh, uhh!)

Verse Five: Notorious B.I.G.

I been had skills, Cristal spills
Hide bills in Brazil, about a mil to ice grill
Make it hard to figure me, liquor be, kickin me
in my asshole, uhhh, undercover, Donni Brascoe
Lent my East coast girl, the Bentley to twirl (uh-huh)
My West coast shorty, push the chrome 740
Rockin Redman and Naughty, all in my kitty-kat
Half a brick of yea, in the bra, where her titties at
And I'm livin that, whole life, we push weight (uh-huh)
Fuck the state pen, fuck hoes at Penn State (c'mon)
Listen close it's Francis, the Praying Mantis
Attack with the Mac, my left hand spit, right hand
grip on the whip, for the smooth getaway
Playa haters get away or my lead will spray
Squeeze off til I'm empty, don't tempt me
Only, to Hell I send thee, all about the Benji's
What??

Outro: Puff Daddy

It's all about the Benjamins baby
Uh-huh, yeah

I don't know if it's because of something that you've done on your end or not, but the pages are loading at "light speed" at the present time.

Did you get the email I sent you about the Aquilera video? After I sent you the email, I went back to Naked-celebs.com and I noticed that the video was no longer there.
But, like I said in the email, I don't think it was her in the video.

I don't have many "benjamins" laying around.. Unless ofcourse you will take my oldest child.. 15 and named Benjamin. He's kind of worthless.. but you never know.. he might be of some help :D


I have alot of little copper Lincolns I could send you.. do you prefer them rolled?;)
