[IMPORTANT] New Policies to Address AHS slowdown
We are sure members have noticed the slowness of the AHS server lately and experienced frustration. That's why the staff at AHS have decided to make some positive changes to try and address the problem. Starting from now the moderators are going to:
Large threads are server intensive and they slow the forum down for everyone. We simply do not have the resources to continue hosting large volumes of off-topic threads. A way you can help is by staying on topic and using an instant messaging program (i.e., AIM, MSN, ICQ, et. al.) if you want to chat with someone. Lets work to keep this forum tidy and efficient! Thank you, AHS Staff |

Today quite a number of weird things happened because of the "slowdown". I'm glad measures are being taken, and I'm hoping they will have effect .
About the purging of the posting games board, I'd like to suggest that the policy for what a game thread is to be slightly changed, considering for example threads like the Singaporean thread, or, especially, the Internanational Thread. I would also like to suggest the Downloads boards to be another target for the purging, considering that most threads there become outdated after only a few months. Considering something completely else, I'd like to see less threads moved there or to trash because of a few bad posts, which I in some cases see as a punishment towards a lot more users than the actual offenders. I know most of those threads probably already are straining the rules, or are very inviting towards posts that might get them locked/trashed. Please understand that I am only expressing a few thoughts and not complaining. edit, Maybe it could be an idea to require users use an external host for user avatars, instead of hosting them on the AHS server.

There will be a lot of work to do, but it'll all be worth it for the server.

today. i'm still having a LOT of probloems loading....the page took like 10 mins to load! and i'm not downloading anything at all.
there's only 2 AHS window...... just curious, is this the server problem or mega threads? my sister is at another forum(they are under V-bulletin too), but there are a lot of GIANT threads there, and they don't have problems in loading..... this is the site and this section has a lot of spamming threads, some threads even had 54 thousand posts!!!!

Ugh. Today was horrid. The pages just wouldn't load. I think the problem is more than just mega threads, though. I remember that's what they thought it was at a different site, but then Owly messed around with something and got it working really fast and there've been no problems for years. =/
Either way, best of luck. |

AHS does not have the resources to continue hosting large volumes of off-topic threads. It's no good to compare with other sites. It's like comparing a car to a bicycle.

disagree with the download forum purging suggestion
simply because the old threads are good to search for the obscure / less-noticed files (for requests / searches elsewhere, even though they're expired) of course one can still browse the media discography lists available outside of AHS.. but still... |

you got me wrong , i'm trying to ask if could there be any other reasons(other then mega longgggggg threads) that could be causing this problem.

Apparently 500 is the suggested thread limit size. I say if it works it's not that big of a sacrifice... the only threads that get that high anyways are posting games, and I'd say they're the most disposable threads since no one really needs them for reference or anything ^^

how about a forum mod to display a user's sig in only his/her first post in a certain page of a thread?
saw this mod used somewhere else. |

Hmm, here's been dead for the past 2 hours o_0
I guess a 500 post limit is good. And of course, as immel suggested, purging the DL sections regularly sure helps alot. Like how there are currently so many threads hosting the same thing now (AT 06 download). Can either merge all together, or keep only the earliest one.

Maybe the mega threads doesn't have anything to do with bandwidth, only that it's performance heavy? |

Great thing they did, sometimes i cant log on to AHS a few hours, like yesterday,waited and waited...until i sleep, but nvm, yay! New policies.

oh well.. i couldnt log on to AHS for several hours jus now. it was simply frustrating but i am not blaming it on AHS. its frustrating because i have the habit of refreshing AHS everynow and there and there is nothing loading..
but are the staff here sure that its due to the amount of threads that slows down AHS loading? cos if the staff close down threads with 500 posts, then the frequency of the new threads emerging will be higher. isnt that what we dont want? can the staff delete those threads that are very outdated? |

last night i had soo much trouble coming here. the page would never load. "cannot find server" a million times. then it comes on for a minute, and it's back down again.
but now it's working fine and i hope it stays that way! |
