Would someone at Atmel PLEASE put 50p in the meter to keep Freaks server running? Over the last few days it's been so slow to respond I fear that either the steam pressure that runs the server has dropped or the main elastic band holding things together has snapped.
Disgruntled user. |

They have been throttling down gradually. They need the power to drive the new PA system playing Yakety Sax in the server room..
Just a minute ago I tried to post in another thread, and after clicking "Submit" all I got was a blank page.
Each time I use my joke about AVRfreaks finally dying it becomes less of a joke and more of a likely future.
Now, let's see if I can post this..
EDIT: At first it failed in the same way, but it finally succeeded after several attempts. Makes me think of the old indian in "Little Big Man". |

| I thought it was the rusty pipes between OZ & the server, but it looks like the blocked tap at server! |

I haven't noticed any problems. Are you guys sure it is avrfreaks?

I have to admit it's got a bit better but I'm still getting the odd page "hang" half way through delivery.
Another indicator of site problems is simply thread volume. If you leave Freaks for a day you can usually rely on roughly as many updated threads in "AVR Forum" as it takes to fill the first page. I've left it for a day a couple of times in the last 1-2 weeks and on return there've only been 10-20 updated threads. I know there's holidays but I think this is because people have had problems posting. |

It has been very slow for me the last few days. From my end, it seems that most web sites are slower than usual, but no other site among the ones I frequent is as bad as this one.
It also seems to affect the activity here now. |

| And now it's faster than ever. I guess I should have flagged my concern sooner. |

The server is currently getting hammered by both Google and Microsoft crawlers -- we'll need to find the server admin to get them to back off a bit.

It must be the high quality & high level of off topic forum posts that is attracting their attention. They know where the intelligentsia hangs out!  |

Dean,
I'm pretty sure they (whoever it is pretending to be Google/bing) are done. Like I said, it's faster than ever now. |

| It's a little bit better now but the crawlers are still active. During the time Dean posted this they made up for >90% of the requests |

I think the meter needs feeding again.....
Yesterday Nothing would post...white screen for pretty much all day. Today, the replies do post, but it takes a long time.
Where do I send the payment?? |

Agree, yesterday was a bad, bad day. Perhaps the worst I can remember in recent times. Clearly there's a problem and it's getting worse. So I'll just say again :
For the love and honour of God will you not fix it? |

Wasting your time, they don't believe in God.  Maybe appeal to the love of money?
My guess is that someone in India is working on this, maybe running a dual system?
ohhh too bad, the post I moved to the trading post from someone in India offering web services has disappeared.  |

I've had an idea. There must be what? perhaps 5,000 active members on Freaks. Suppose we all donate £1. £5000 should buy Atmel a pretty respectable server PC and some internet bandwidth to run Freaks on? How about it? The system has otherwise now ground to an almost complete stand-still and every time I click a link to a thread it can take a minute or more before it appears  |

Mine is ok at the moment!
However Kent is possibly more technologically advanced than Essex.
Mind you, even Kent had been pretty slow recently.
