Nolan Kienitz Posted February 9, 2011 Report Share Posted February 9, 2011 I've been experiencing some slow response times for TIJ over the past week or so. I've been attentive to making sure that I keep my system fresh (rebooted every so often) from the PC to the local router, etc., etc.. It may just be me, but thought I would float the question as it seems particularly slow today. [?] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben H Posted February 9, 2011 Report Share Posted February 9, 2011 No, it's dragging today. I typically have lighting speeds, but I'm getting 10-20 second page loads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inspector57 Posted February 9, 2011 Report Share Posted February 9, 2011 Yep, dragging today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randynavarro Posted February 9, 2011 Report Share Posted February 9, 2011 Dragging for the last week or so here also. It's frustrating and seems to be a farily regular occurence here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Raymond Posted February 9, 2011 Report Share Posted February 9, 2011 The quality of our content takes up some serious band width. I'm sure the association forums are much faster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hausdok Posted February 9, 2011 Report Share Posted February 9, 2011 Hi, I've asked the programmers if there is anything that can be done to ensure consistent speeds instead of the on again off again stuff we're experiencing; but it might simply boil down to a question of the provider's prioritization of assets. If we want faster more consistent speeds we might have to pay the provider more and we probably can't afford to do that without charging a subscription. I've been toying with the idea of a subscription for years; perhaps giving one the ability to see some forums but not to answer to those or have full access without a subscription. That might provide us enough to fund improvements we'd like to make in the site and defend the site in any future legal hassles. So, since there are lots of other free resources out there, do you users think this site is worth paying a subscription for, in order to be up there in speed with the other sites that actually have a constant stream of income coming in, or would you simply go elsewhere? If your answer would be contingent on the cost of the subscription, tell me what you think is a fair price for a yearly subscription access for all content on TIJ. ONE TEAM - ONE FIGHT!!!

Marc Posted February 9, 2011 Report Share Posted February 9, 2011 I'd be much more open to a voluntary contribution arrangement whereby the health of the fund and anticipated (based on recent history) donations/expenditures graphs are projected for all to see. I really like this forum, don't mind contributing at all but selling suscriptions seems contrary to it's purpose. It invokes a market feeling about the whole thing and that's certainly not why I'm a member right now. Marc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Raymond Posted February 9, 2011 Report Share Posted February 9, 2011 We should establish a 'swear jar' and fine anyone that complains the site is running slow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mthomas1 Posted February 10, 2011 Report Share Posted February 10, 2011 $25 would work for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
