Infosecdad Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 It’s been pretty sporadic for me as well. I’ve also seen others complain about it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RWebb Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 You want to get more emails in life? This site is dead and runs on a speak and spell. Be happy its not sending homing pigeons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whitetiger Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 due to the age of the site, you will have better consistency with lgt.com sending SMS to a Nokia 6120 or older phone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tide Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 We are planning to move the site to Invision Power Board (hosted) and expect a whole new site to resolve many longstanding issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pleides Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 My notifications all were going to spam lately. Guessing others are dealing with the same thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tide Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 Unfortunately the site is about 10GB of text alone and that's part of the problem. Don't need 15 year old threads of someone selling some struts. Even just purging that down to like 2GB will make a huge difference. so how long does it take to transition from the speak n' spell to a palm pilot?

xt2005bonbon Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 Dang, 10GB of characters is a lot of text!!! And yeah, that's true. The old for sale threads could be discarded.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xt2005bonbon Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 A little off topic but could be related.. I swear my post count has just decreased by like more than 1K! I just noticed it now. Am I dreaming? Is it possible that cleaning the database would affect a user post count? Not that I really care about it.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tide Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 It's expected unfortunately, we've deleted about 1 million posts today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xt2005bonbon Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 So I am not dreaming . Are you strictly deleting market place type posts? 8396 posts right now. Let's see what it'll be later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tide Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 I don't plan to run "Update post counts", which would rebuild it all from scratch, but when we move I sort of doubt the inflated count would come along. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ehsnils Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 OK, then I understand why the "thanks" button is gone - ongoing work. Hard to figure out which threads that are more valuable since there are some threads that even though they are old and no longer updated they are interesting. Like the Rotrex compressor build by Tomcat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 (edited) What kind of posts were deleted? Forums are wealth of knowledge. As well as trove of "useless" banter - but they are part of our history. Many predict that our times will be the least documented once due to the word being mostly electronic, not even printed anymore. Forums are perhaps trivial in the large scheme of things, and it is hard to expect anyone will preserve them for posterity, it's already I suppose bit of charity work. Out out curiosity - how big is the forum database? EDIT: 10GB of text per post above. Edited May 27, 2022 by unclemat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tide Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 There were 16 some years of classified threads that are pretty easy to just purge, along with stuff that's been well hidden under "archives" for years that you probably didn't even know were here. Overall this site is about 1/10th of the traffic it was 5 years ago, and keeping the lights on I'm sort of faced with two outcomes, prune and move to a modern affordable cloud service (and off our own iron), or just let it continue to slowly burn away. Things like the "Thanks" button were also part of the reason the site slowed down so much, all these things were third party hacks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infosecdad Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 Definitely been cleaning house... May 7th May 28 Feels more responsive, though I miss the "thanks" button. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
