Why does the board go down so often?

[ttdriver]

Is it just me, or does it seem like this board goes down alot? Maybe its just because I'm addicted to it, but when its down, I need therapy!!

Well Betty forums are very resource intensive and it's likely that the server we are on is not really equipt to handle the volume of activity we generate. Also phpbb is really not the best forum software out there. My understanding is we will be moving to vbulletin which should be a little better.

I am so glad to see someone commenting on this topic! I tend to login from my work pc and there are days I can't get on for hours which can be quite frustrating at times...

Now I know it's not just me I'll not panic... lol

I hear that recently, the higher powers were updating software. Also, if the new board is on the same server, I would think that any updating or taking down of it, directly affects ths one to.

I rarely fail to access the board, and I check iy many times a day.

[tickletussler]

I get very upset when the board goes down, which usually occurs for the whole day for me due to the time differences ie it's down overnight in the US which is most of my day here, and I rely on it quite heavily to take me away from cravings and temptations. However, if Perry or someone at least haves it up and running in the US AM time (ie my late evenings here), then I calm down :yes and at least I'm happy if I can get in once a day.
