More traffic? Sure has. Now has an Alexa rank below 6000.

Site will always be more busy during the day for people surf more from work. Most of the stress on the site comes from just one forum actually. For all the one word, one line replies that are made that just adds to the overhead. From just the post being made itself to the searches that then also need to look through them. Oh well, all in good fun.

I guess it is time again to archive off some of the old posts. But I may update the software to the new version first instead and see how that may go. Sorry for the slowdowns.

Doug...

Yes, that happens due tothe MySQL database locking tables udrin large search queries. Once the tables are locked, all the other requests are put into the queue until the locks are released and the other requests can be cleared. As the database grows larger, this can happen more and more based on what is being searched. That is what I am seeing on my end. I do not see the site being slower unless I see a lot of searches happening.

Example...When I loaded this thread... Page generated in 0.24058 seconds with 16 queries

But when we have a table lock issue...it can be long amounts of time. 20 to seconds or more based on what is happening. More people to the site, the more searches that happen.

Tim...Yes, we have increased on traffic based on the holiday traffic and people researching TiVo. Starts about mid September or so.

Hummm...All I did at this point is close some really large threads.
