   Slow (borked) site?
  The past few days, GD has been ultra slow. between 16 & 40s for pages to load. I just got this errorQuote:Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server error '80040e31'Timeout expired/community/forums/login.asp, line 721 After which I had to agree to the user license agreement again.Is this happening to anyone else? And no, i'm not running 28.8. "highspeed" 5mb/s cable   
  It's been like that for a while for me - it sped up just after the downtime, but that may have been just because the site was less busy.I get that timeout expired error frequently (5+ times a day)   ;  It's not just you, man.   ;  It's been very snappy for me (and still is right now) except for last night, when I did recieve that error a couple of times after some very slow page-loads.   ;  Sometimes it will be slow for, oh, a day, and then it goes back to being it's usual fast self. I've never received that error.   ;  silly question... is gamedev using memcached ? if not, why? :D   ;  No, we're using ASP's built-in caching system.   ;  I can't say that I'm familiar with asp's caching system (I do websites on linux/php/apache/postgres and use c# only for desktop apps), but this article seems to suggest at least 'looking into it'...I'm curious about gd's stats.. how many pageviews / day ? is such information available for the general public somewhere?   ;  The GDNet main page says:Quote:30270 people currently visiting GDNet.2107 articles in the reference section.From what I recall, there was a discussion about the first number being broken.  To get a better idea of how many members are on the site you could check out this.   ;Quote:Original post by cobruI can't say that I'm familiar with asp's caching system (I do websites on linux/php/apache/postgres and use c# only for desktop apps), but this article seems to suggest at least 'looking into it'...GameDev doesn't run on ASP.NET, it uses 'oldskool' ASP scripting.Quote:Original post by MoeTo get a better idea of how many members are on the site you could check out this.It's certainly more accurate, but far from perfect. As far as I am able to tell, this is a list of all the users active within hourly intervals, and it will include users that left or even logged out during that hour. After an hour has passed you will notice how the list is reset and starts to build up again.
