Affected is having the same problem. Every once and awhile the forum seems to be down for me, but I usually come back in 20 minutes or so and it will be up. I guess what I am saying is... it might not be you.

This forum is almost always down for me, usually a few hours at a time or even all night.

it's the server that dhahib is using, it's down every once in a while, sometimes for days at a time...it's crazy, but until he gets hold of his server people I guess we'll be stuck with it.

I had the same problem on my cable but I went right to 56k and it's been fine...odd

Nex · Posted: Sun Aug 20, 2000 1:34 pm

the server is extremely slow since about 4 days for me too suddenly.

someone get a techhead here!

Same as me, whatever you do Spooge, DONT LEAVE THIS BOARD!

Rinaldo · Posted: Sun Aug 20, 2000 4:28 pm

ARERRRGhhhhh. it's soooooooo slow. I disabled Sound, images. etc and I was able to get this far but it's not much fun if there 's no pics.

The forum is down all the time for me as well but this is different. it just takes for ever. We need to set up a subject on another forum like sinj's for when this one goes to shit.

? That's odd, the forum loads just fine for me. Either there's a crappy server relay where you guys are or I have more patience than I thought

Tho about 3 days ago the forum was completely down (for prolly everyone I think).

spooge demon · Posted: Sun Aug 20, 2000 11:59 pm

I get 9 bytes a second on this forum. It took 2 days to get this far. ususally times out. I see others have been OK, if I am seeing right.

WhaddoIdo?

ACK!! I can't get to the forums at work, but at home it works fine.

I wish I could help someone, but I dont think I can.

are everyone who say that pages dont work from the same country or something?

/me from finland and these pages load as fast as any other pages.

might just be a usa problem, most europeans (myself included) seem to have no probs getting on.

Why can't I access sijun.com on my T3 connection at work whilst my 56k modem works fine???

[EDIT] - just had a thought. Maybe the server prioritises requests based upon bandwidth?

I don't think its an USA problem, because I'm from Europe and I've had problems to read the forums as well, with both a fast connection and from home with my 56Kb modem.

Maybe there are too many messages on the forum (I've heard that this may slow down the UBB system) or maybe it's the server, dunno.

Binke · Posted: Mon Aug 21, 2000 10:32 am

Ehm, why don't they just erase all the old messages??

and btw, I am having no problem what so ever to access the forum, I don't know why the rest can't.

awright. I did a little traceroute from my pc to Dhabib's page. I have about 12 inbetween nodes all having a relatively good ping reply even with a 56k modem. If you want to check the connection from your point to anywhere (sijun.com), try neotrace or go to This page's bottom and enter sijun.com.
I know it won't fix anything but if you're curious as of knowing there's a faulty link somewhere you might check it out.
I suspect some relaying provider is having hardware problem that causes the slowdown for some people.
Spooge, I may not be very knowledgable on this nor have a big-fu**ing-kahuna-networking diploma but anyway.

ege, waffle in the wind.

its not slow for me

Jorge · Posted: Mon Aug 21, 2000 2:47 pm

From Spain sijun.com is available at all times, for me of course. It is just one week since I discovered it, though.

rdgraffix · Posted: Mon Aug 21, 2000 4:24 pm

It's been INCREDIBLY slow since yesterday, took over an hour to display a single message! ... at least it hasn't been timing out on me.

What's up with this, and does anyone have any idea when it'll be better??

spooge, you are not the only one

After three days of nothing, it finally works. Let's hope it stays that way.

I had the same problem for past week. if u replace the www.sijun.com in the url with an ip 209.203.244.114 it should work without slowdowns.
did for me.

just make sure you are accessing forum directly not through the main page so you are not stuck in a frame.

i see everyones got all the same problems.. i knew it had to do something with the web server itself.. cause doing a tracert on www.sijun.com showed no apparent trouble spots in the route.. today err right now is the first time page loaded for me.. before the farthest i got was to the forum main board.. and it would just time out after trying to go into a topic forum (digital or musings) good to see its working now..

When it first happend i went into the irc room to ask what was up.. at first i thought it was only me tho.. cause binke said it loads fine for him.. :P

But right now its slow.. very slow :P

Fred Flick Stone · Posted: Mon Aug 21, 2000 11:41 pm

Need my fix, why does this take so long to load? I tried emailing Dhabih also, but no response...whaaaaah...

spooge demon · Posted: Mon Aug 21, 2000 11:49 pm

Monday morning, still the same. Took about 30 minutes to get this far, everything times out.

Server needs reset? Dhab is not reachable, he reads his email as much as I do

Don't know what to do. The does not look reachable either.

I have no idea what to do, many here have a lot more knowledge about this stuff, so I do nothing.

I'll come back in a week/:

tzekin · Posted: Tue Aug 22, 2000 12:27 am

I'm from Europe and for 2 days now i wasn't able to log in this forum;-(( Maybe the sijun.com host has some problems

lotor · Posted: Tue Aug 22, 2000 12:31 am

I haven't been able to get on since Thursday!!!!

That has never happened to me before.

What the heck?

Belisarius · Posted: Tue Aug 22, 2000 12:41 am

Maybe there are too many of us that are
using this forum ...

Sumaleth · Posted: Tue Aug 22, 2000 1:13 am

OMG, it's working again! I just *this* close to taking up smoking.
