GBAtemp changes servers almost every year because it keeps getting larger and larger!
We usually know it's time to change servers when the site becomes really slow on a regular basis.

If/when the server is slow, or unusually fast, please make a post here and mention how many users are online.
This will be a great help for us when we re-evaluate the needs & resources.

Thanks!

i just had to do a lot of faces.
 
Sometimes its slow sometimes its not. When its slow it always says can not connect to the server or something like that. When its fast it just blinks and its there. Most of the time it takes about 15 seconds to load a page.
 
Loading times are slow, If I'm using a certain router, I have to refresh the page once to get to that page correctly

It was a bit slower a little while ago, so had some suggestions to speed it up a bit

1) Use an accelerator (found @ http://eaccelerator.net/ , more info @ http://www.110mb.com/forum/invision-board-...2-t14239.0.html)

2) Compress java scripts (http://javascriptcompressor.com/ , info , make backups!). There are compressors for images (skin) too.

3) Only allow members with X posts to have an avatar or sig

4) If there is a skin that not many people use, just delete it? (For the forum or Wiki)

5) Allow members to delete own topics if there are no replies (http://www.invisionbyte.net/index.php?auto...;showarticle=76)
 
I've performed a series of optimizations and improvements on the server (many thanks to Seph @ ****** !)
I'd like some feedback regarding the server speed now.
We havent reached rush hour yet so we dont know if the site's gonna do better, but for now it definitely loads a lot faster for me.
