It’s been hella slow here today. Pages load…usually…but at dial-up speeds…and I keep getting pages that look like this: (yep, old pic)

It seems to be hella slow more often that not lately. I thought Future was looking into the matter.

it's been absolutely terrible for a week now. whether I'm at work, at home, or on a mobile network anywhere. lots of timeouts.

I don't want to get anyone's hopes up too much, but it's making me strongly consider seriously cutting my time here.

Yeah, I find myself on the TPU & Techspot forums for tech discussion, and even slowly straying back to Reddit (albeit as a lurker) for videogame/politics discussion.

AT was a great crashpad from the App-ocalypse and this place felt a lot livelier for a good long while but these server issues aren't necessarily keeping me away but they are keeping some people away and it feels like things have quieted down a lot around here since the issues cropped up.

O can only say "how bad can it get" Does future care if the website dies ? I had a friend say he would PM me later since response was so bad. So is future going to ignore this until everybody gives up, and the website dies ?

Some senior mod, PLEASE contact Future, this is getting insane. @allisolm

I do find that most often, it lags and crashes when you try to go to "watched threads" or any other user-personalized pages. Going to "watched forums" or just the general forums or sub-forum links causes much less problems.

but again....I still can only imagine this is by design. It just seems so unbelievable to me to have these problems so consistently.

I don't get how something that was working for a much bigger active user count suddenly fails to work for a smaller crowd.

So, I wake up. The forum is slow but semi-useable. Then I go watch a movie, come back and its so slow its unusable.

So how long are we stuck with the server that's causing all the problems?

Does anyone know when we'll be moving to a different one?

Cloud Server Host Vultr Rips User Data Ownership Clause From ToS After Web Outage - Slashdot

Tobias Mann reports via The Register: Cloud server provider Vultr has rapidly revised its terms-of-service after netizens raised the alarm over broad clauses that demanded the "perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free" rights to customer "content." The red tape was updated in January, as captured...
