[ FORUM MOVE ] -- This forum will close down 14.dec.2007

Post by Brother Laz » Sun Dec 09, 2007 3:41 pm

Now would be a good time to register at the new forum - the teething problems have been fixed, and it even runs faster than the Keep now.

Important posts from this forum will be linked to on the new forum; the Keep forum will be locked on 14.dec.2007.

Yeah, all needed for that is a database less than 400mb and less than 24000 members. ;)

Now I understand why I'm being banished. This will cut the load on the Keep by a factor 10 and make it that much faster for everyone else. :D

Actually, I believe the Keep is slow because it needs to load OVERBEARING ADVERTISING and a hail of interstitials, including ads that simply don't load (or fold out and block your view when you move the mouse), suspending page loading for X seconds. Planetdiablo...

Funny, because places like the Wizards of the Coast forums load way faster and I assure you are bigger than a fan site for Diablo 2 mods :P.

Yep with paid hosting and a deep enough wallet there are no limits but understandably not meny modmakers want to spent their own cash to provide their players with free mods.

Damn! He found out! :)

Not only that. Remember, the Keep was slow even before we moved to Gamespy. The big problem with the site is the way read/unread history is saved (you'll notice that your new board will not save read/unread info through sessions, also edits won't make the thread unread). This is what everyone's favorite TMTs were for (they are still present, but run way faster now) ;)

Of course, this is only part of the problem. The rest has been mentioned already by Volf and you - huge database, free hosting, ads and so on.

The difference is that it was just TMTs and ran well at other times, now every other page loads slowly and there is always something related to ads in the status bar. :) (How heavy are those stupid US Army minigame banners anyway?)

Interesting, though I'm not sure if this is not replacing a problem with a worse problem.

Yes, the site used to be down for 1-3 minutes each 20 minutes (about 10% of the time in average), now it's down for 8-15 seconds each 20 minutes and the rest of the time pages load slower. Which one is better? Of course, you can have your opinion on that, but I think the current situation is an improvement ;)

As for the ads - well, you saw by yourself how good the free ad-less hosts are :P
