I have used Tomshardware on Dialup as well as DSL and I have to be honest. This site is the slowest site I have ever been to.

What is the deal here?

THG or THGC?
THG is 95% of the time fast, THGC is...hum, 30%. I wish that Fredi would stop the occasional "software updates" and really tell us why it is slow and try something serious. Sure when I told David to get Fredi to fix the forum, the place did increase in speed, but damn, it still is unstable, and it still is not entirely fast as many message boards are.

i want to know if its a hardware thing or software... if its software i'm sure we can all help with it. also how would adds in the THGC work? if there is money to be made that way i think its ok to have them so the hardware can be updated or pay for better servers... i think Fredi told me having all the threads from when the forum started makes it hard on both the hardware and software, but i think that was fixed with having archives... i'm not sure. i seriously think its a bandwidth problem.

now lets say it is a bandwidth problem, is there a way we can help... its easy to ask for this thing to be fixed, but it appears its not so easy to fix.

I'm pretty sure it's a bandwidth thing...

Some day I'll be rich and famous for inventing a device that allows you to stab people in the face over the internet.

I meant THGC and apparently we got a boost in speed since my post. Lets see if that's true.

Considering that it's taken almost 10 minutes for this post to go through (that's assuming it goes through right now), I don't think it's faster.

Sometimes its great, then sometimes its fairly OK, then sometimes its so sssssslllllloooooowwwwww,I just logout and go somewhere else, if it takes forever for the links to come up, it takes three to four times as long to actually post something. Some were mentioning what could we do? Is there anything we can do to help the situation? It appears this is server problems, or is it?

it seems to me that thg doesnt take the forums seriously at all.

my computer is so fast, it completes an endless loop in less than 4 seconds!

I suggest re-archiving the other, CPU, mobo & gfx forums. In fact I suggested this a while back. If the older threads were moved onto another HDD, and the current threads on the main HDD set-up were defragged, I'd bet it would make all the difference.

Bandwidth could be the problem, but that doesn't account for why it's slower than lots of other forums with the same issues.

Fredi has this forum hooked up to a 2400 baud modem. It's the only explanation.

It is fast as long as it is still night in America... aftre 5 pm local time the speed starts to degrade enormously.

So it looks like that the servers can't handle the huge requists or that the bandwith is just to limited.

I can give Fredi an 56k6 extrenal modem for free to increase bandwith.

My dual-PSU PC is so powerfull that the neighbourhood dims when I turn it on :eek:
