OK guys here is the deal:

We get about 40,000 hit everyday. According to alexa.com (an amazon/google company), we are the second most visited bodybuilding site in the world.

Currently our servers can not handle all of the traffic and we are planning to upgrade them shortly. At any given time there are 100's (well over 400+) on the board.

You people have to understand how much time and money goes into running a site like this. Just for board opps and bandwith, we are spending several thousands of dollars a month.

To all the PLAT members that are supporting the site, thank you. You are truly the meat of this place and w/o the support, the site would close.

Thank you three very much for supporting the site. e have all kinds of new things coming out and the board will not only run faster, but will have new features and such.

Hang in there people, the amount of traffic that comes in and out of here is just too much. But we are fixing it!

Oh yea, C-Ditty for MOD, I agree.

Thanks kronk for the explanation. It helps me understand more about this board.

Qucik question for you.......

In the mean time, if I buy two Platinum memberships...will it speed up the page loading time to maybe 20 minutes per click?

LOL, I dont think so. I know its been real bad as of late, but already tonight it is much faster.

Rest assured in the near future we will be zooming! Thanks for your support HumorMe!

My only question is how come some mods don't seem concerned about why members are dropping platinum?

I dont know, as I am not sure to whom you are speaking of. Not that many plat members have cancelled their memberships. Most of the ones that did, paid for over a year and such.

I for one care very much and ENCOURAGE any plat member that is having issues to PM me or email me and I will get shit done for you. Many of you know this as I do it everyday, but for those who dont, LEAN ON ME. Peace

I have cancelled mine and all I got was an email from efchris thanking me for my time and asking for my board name, no questions about why or anything.


Which is probably a good thing, at least for some members and mods here.

I wonder if the database is getting too big.

Tell EF Chris to delete posts older than 1 year.
That was before I started posting much so its not like there will be anything important lost.

You're probably right... just all of the great training posts, anabolic information...

If you are talking about Chat posts, I'd say we can delete those weekly....

I can say that if I have any sort of problems, many of the mods are there for me. I chat with many of them via IM from day to day... Bkmomma, Warik, Kronk, Velvett... I am in communications from time to time with Corn, Wodin, 2Thick and I have learned a GREAT deal from Spatts (training forum) and Elite Mentor BFold... EVERY mod has done a great job to help rectify any problem I have had here... justly and fairly... I don't think any of them have "overstepped" their boundries... Well... Except my Uncle... LOL

C-ditty? Moderator?!? That's Crazy!! Crazy enough to WORK! I'd be honored at such an invitation.

I did read that EF was ranked pretty high on the "hit" list... we are ranked higher than Bally Total Fitness... even with their new "Beautiful Pain" campaign... LOL
