Serious Lag at DP

Discussion in 'General Chat' started by japindian, Aug 23, 2008.

    For the past two weeks DP seems to randomly be going slow, and at times won't even connect for 10-15 minutes. It's not just my connection because all other sites load instantaneously. Anyone else having problems :confused:

    For somebody that has 657 posts and has been a member for over a year you sure don't keep up on things.

    Long story short - DP is busy...very busy. Too busy. So busy they need better servers and have been trying to raise the cash for them for a long long time.

    Either donate or find a way to kick all the stupid spammers off the site to help out :)

    I haven't had any major problems with it, but then again, I'm rarely on it.

    DP is online 99% !!
    But since there is a stupid Virus which is spreading via Firefox.. It blocks DP ..

    Just clear your cache and temp files.. It should be fine! :)

    Yes... the virus is really worst enough to block DP. Cache clearing is the best thing you can do to get lightning speed.

    I have also experienced the same thing, Most of the time I got Database errors now It's little slow than before, page loads slowly posting is also slow, I checked my internet connection and it seems fine with other pages :) It could be because of the 1000+ Visitors at the same time.

    Yes this may be because of the 1000+ Visitors at the same time . I have faced this problem many times but for only 2 to 4 minutes only . After that forum starts working for me every time .

    For a big problem like this, it's a normal thing to have a lag issue. I also sometimes came with the database error.
