Yeah :(

Check my post log... unless I'm on holiday, I'll check this site 6-8 times a day (and will post something pretty much everytime). I don't think I was on at all from Sat night till this morning...

Its just started working again.

It seems to have three distinct phases:

- lightning fast, no delays, works perfectly

- slow pages, occasional timeout - can read/post most (about 80% of the time recently)

- site is down (95% of attempts result in timeout, no pages delivered)

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

That's exactly how it is

- 20% of the time (right now)

- 10% of the time (ten minutes ago)

- 70 % of the time (all day yesterday, and this morning)

I can't' stand not being able to access this site... Maybe I'm addicted? :)

These slowdowns are driving people away. I notice the user count has been declining steadily. I hope something can be done soon. Surely there are some security experts that can help you out here.

I think ioi is using this strategically like a drug dealer. He get's us all hooked, totally addicted, and then oops it's very hard to access *WITHDRAWLS HIT HARD*, maybe for 20 dollars I can make the evil hackers go away. And in a cold sweat trying not to vomit we tell him "fine fine, whatever it takes man" and then throw a wad of bills at him. And then BAM we're back on, speculating on sweet sweet numbers, crushing up those statistics into a finely analyzed powder and snorting it into our meta-game addicted minds.

Curse you, ioi and your digital crack!

I just get bored when I don't have all my forums and news sites to read and then I do things like this:

This site wasn't working for me for at least over 24 hours until just recently.

 Me too. Its been unable to connect all weekend.

Yeah site was acting glitchy a few minutes ago all these SQL error messages
