RenegadeRoss Posted April 8, 2009 Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 We're not gonna delete threads untill the admin come on and we speak about it. People dont like their post counts being tampered with, We simply need more webspace, im hoping the admin are on soon enough to sort it becase this is running at a ridiculous speed.

RenegadeRoss Posted April 8, 2009 Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 There are a bunch of virus things on here recently (my GData always tells me when I open this site "Virus found during loading web contents"), maybe that could be a reason why the site is so slow again...Idk tho. i just noticed this, that could well be a problem. I'll tell the admin about this too, Thanks Franzi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EasyTarget Posted April 8, 2009 Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 I don't care about my post counts on games and stuff (which I used a lot when I was new) so if need be, delete those. I'd quite like ones on music and off topic threads though but it's not important. Also.. Could PVM's have something to do with it? We never used to have them but a lot of people use those more than the actual boards... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EasyTarget Posted April 8, 2009 Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 Haha, it's fun to go on when the boards are pretty dormant, plus, I like that pf is quite varied, most forums just have the actual forums, not rep, games and profiles like us. I know people love parabot.. but there are so many different ways of talking to one another, I don't really think the chat is needed.

JJ Riot Posted April 8, 2009 Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 ^ yeah the chat is never used, i mean it was in the summer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EasyTarget Posted April 8, 2009 Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 Now that we have profile messages, I don't really think it'll be missed... Maybe we should make a poll or something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted April 8, 2009 Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 Now that we have profile messages, I don't really think it'll be missed... Maybe we should make a poll or something? Just get rid of it I say, no one uses it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SalsaC Posted April 8, 2009 Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 What I've seen in use in some other boards is making a certain section of the forum not add up to the post count. I guess it would slow down those who just want to spam their post count up, although I don't think there are many of those here. This is the largest board I've ever been in when I look at how many posts people have here. Yes, there are much larger ones (Gaia Online, 4chan...) but isn't it obvious that the server this place uses is being pulled to it's limits? Deleting a few threads isn't going to be enough, you need a massive clean-up. No one is going to need those year old -threads anymore, so what you could do is delete everything from a certain date backwards. With the current traffic this board has daily, you are going to have to cut somewhere. Maybe a change in the fundamentals? Disabling the post count -indicator for good? I've seen that used as a solution when another board ran into similar problems, and honestly, is there someone out there that specifically wants it to remain visible? Believe it or not, it is going to change posting habits of people, whether they care about their post count or not. Either something like that, or then you are going to have to invest in a bigger server. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EasyTarget Posted April 8, 2009 Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 I agree with diabling some post counts, like in the games. I've seen that on a few different sites and could work. Not sure how it could help that much though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SalsaC Posted April 8, 2009 Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 Well yeah, that's me writing a post before thinking about the structure first. "I don't think there are many of those here" indicates that I know it won't help much, but somehow I didn't remove it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
