Anybody else having problems with Charas?
It's taking something like 10-15 seconds to load.
Everything else that I frequent is working just fine, though.

It does for me, some times. And though it's rare, some times, the page just doesn't even load.
Too many bots! No actually, I don't know. But yeah, Charas is being very slow some times.

I used to post a lot more because I'd log in from my Wii.

Now Charas won't ever open in it. It just loads forever.

I've noticed that the main page sometimes refuses to load for me, though that could just be my ISP.

Same here. Sometimes I have to just log in and try later :'(

My load times are slightly longer, but they haven't been too concerning. Occasionally, it'll load "lite", with black text on a white page with only my avatar at the top and the forum banner, image-wise.

Oh yeah, that too.

YES.  Oh my, sometimes it doesn't even load for me.

I've just noticed it being really bad the past couple days.
Most websites that I go to don't take a quarter to half a minute to load.

And then I laugh.

Well, more accurately giggle.

Let's just revert back to good old PÜB.
Because forum software is the root of every issue on a website ever.

I'm using firefox and haven't had the loading problem since I got my new computer. Just sayin.
Title: Re: Loading...
Post by: zuhane on May 26, 2011, 01:40:52 PM
I see what you did with the title ;)

I says "Loading...", then when it's loaded, it still says "Loading..."
This confounded my expectations and thus humour arose!
Title: Re: Loading...
Post by: HobomasterXXX on May 27, 2011, 07:27:30 AM
Plus, the PÜB was our own thing. Nobody else had it but us.
I'd equate putting that as a positive point to saying that still using a digital camera from the early 90s because noone else does is a good thing. Bots are no issue at all, they're there for maybe three hours tops before the admins make them dissapear.

Admins, mods, same diff. Anyway, if anti-bot modifications beyond just a basic captcha (I don't think an uncracked captcha actually exists) are installed, it'll become so much more of a non-issue than it already is.

Well, just vote for me for the Mayor position, so I can possibly obtain Global Mod status if I do a great job, and then, I will take care of these Bots without any problem.

While blowing up the world would take care of the bot problem, I hardly think it's a step in the right direction.

I don't think we should kill this one. It's pretty awesome.

Post by: Cerebus on May 30, 2011, 05:11:10 PM
Yes, I mean, he's clearly voting for me. Even it wants me to get rid of them... no matter how. Unlike a certain pessimist, who thinks she's got better ideas!

If you reread the bot's post, I think you'll find it apparent that he was, in fact, voting for me. Because, unlike a certain somebody, I don't have any grand schemes of genocide and mass destruction.

So yes! Vote for me...because I won't kill all of you the moment I enter office. And I'm female. You must not forget this all-important fact.
Title: Re: Loading...

D:  Oh no!  Should I keep my vote for Fortet or go with the female?!
Title: Re: Loading...
Post by: Cerebus on May 30, 2011, 07:00:20 PM
None.
Go for the creator of Sarah C. He's definitely the best option.
He's like Big Brother, always there, watching all over you while you don't even know it. He has the time to take care of Bots issues and such.
And he talks about him in third person in this post. Definitely the best option.

Cerebus all the way.

Oh yeah and loading was worse yesterday, now it's better. Just to kind of remain on-topic.
Title: Re: Loading...
Post by: Natako on May 30, 2011, 07:09:36 PM

Yes, he's always watching. He watches you while you sleep. He's peering in through your bathroom window while you're taking a shower. He's always watching you. Like a big, incestuous brother. Soon, he'll even start leaving you stalker-ish notes. The last thing that this man needs is global domination.

And as my one on-topic post for this thread, I'd just like to say that I only have occasional loading issues (like yesterday). Sometimes, if I try to load the page on my phone, it will load forever...but this is probably due to the fact that I'm using a very ghetto cell phone with a terrible web browser.

Voting for a vagina is easy. Voting against one? Now that's hard.

Vote for me, because I'm hard.
Title: Re: Loading...
Post by: WarxePB on May 30, 2011, 08:50:09 PM
Must you be like that, Archem?

As a side note, I've noticed in the past couple of days that Charas has loaded quickly pretty much every time. Is that just me?

This is favouritism! This kind of behaviour shouldn't be tolerated, especially if I am not the favourite one.
Vote for a totalitarian and crazed dictator who will destroy bots with an iron fist and take back your freedom of speech and privacy.

And Charas is very slow at some points.
For example, it's being extremely slow right now. Made me double post. Took me like 5 minutes to finally erase the second one. Should've erased this one instead, though, looked nice to have my post one second earlier but still after Archem2's. But anyway. It's very slow...

I'm from the Mahmoud Ahmadinejad school of politics; if we have less than 100 active members and you get 200 votes that just means you must be really popular.

Or you could all not be twat waffles and vote for me: Fortet. When I'm elected, I might be more active! Promising, yes?
Title: Re: Loading...

Very.

Yeah, Charas was loading great for a bit and now its back to being slow.  Its so bipolar sometimes.

The bot that said "I'm going to be without internet for a while" or something like that.
It copied my post from when before I figured out that I have a bad USB port.

Well, the point's kind of moot since they always have ****ing ads in their signature that make them instantly identifiable and if those aren't present, that kind of defeats their purpose, now doesn't it?

So are we still using the "what color is this page" method of blocking bots that they literally have a 1 in 4 chance of guessing right on the first try?

Not the one that had it on it's profile.
So yeah, they're learning

I really like italics

ed: Also, it took me a good half hour to access this page.

It has never been a big deal for me. When I first joined charas, I had a dial up connection and used that for a couple of years. When I upgraded to cable internet, the rest of the internet got faster, and charas just stayed the same. >.<

I'm starting to think that bots may be cause for some of the 503s.
Too many of 'em trying to sign up at once.
Maybe we should go to one of those big bot IP lists and start IP banning them?
Title: Re: Loading...
Post by: ninji on June 02, 2011, 09:38:27 PM
But then they'll learn to take our IPs.
Title: Re: Loading...
Post by: Razor on June 02, 2011, 11:19:07 PM
They banned the bots, but I did not speak up because I am not a bot.
And then...
