This Site Has Become a Turtle

February 10th, 2012
The speed of retrieval of any click on 365 has become about 5-10 times slower than it was 2 months ago when I took some time off from the project. I would like to hear a proposal of how the owners will increase the servers required to solve this problem of wasted time waiting for a reponse from the 365 servers.
February 10th, 2012
also, does anyone here have any vodka?
February 10th, 2012
@grecican Tequila, it's Margarita Thursday!
February 10th, 2012
@tamsg4 TEQUILA!
February 10th, 2012
@grecican I have Vodka. It's always Vodka Day in my house.
February 10th, 2012
I hate vodka: gin is fine. But a few more servers would be best.
February 10th, 2012
@morrisroos I thought it was just me. It's been seeming slower to me too

@grecican don't look at me- I'm underage!
February 10th, 2012
@grecican No vodka, but I do have a great porter if that helps.
February 10th, 2012
@morrisroos gin... see that's hardcore to me

@soxfansara never stopped me before.. but okay. stay cool... stay in school!

@jinximages i'll be right over!
February 10th, 2012
@grecican i prefer beer ;)
Free beer - even better! That, and last time i did tequila i ended up in another country, and had a bit of a.... rough time explaining things to border guards.
February 10th, 2012
Jager will make things go by faster.
February 10th, 2012
Morgan Spice is clearly the way forward.

February 10th, 2012
@cchambers @sdpace @azza_l you guys are making me thirsty.

except the jager... good lord. i'll die.
February 10th, 2012
@grecican are you the bad influence on the internet that my parents warned me about? ;-D
February 10th, 2012
@soxfansara you can call me anything you want... just, please.. never call me a role model.

February 10th, 2012
@sdpace We have been through this - I TOLD you that Jager makes me whorish.
February 10th, 2012
@beautifulthing lmfao!!
February 10th, 2012
@cchambers which country, anyway?
February 10th, 2012
@grecican I started in Dallhart Texas, ended up in Tijuana Mexico... lost my wallet and trying to explain things was interesting. the guy was new on the job and all excited to get bad guys. luckily there was an old timer that had heard what happened, laughed, and let me back in. quite an... experience, and the LAST time i had tequila.
February 10th, 2012
@cchambers last time in Tijuana, too?
February 10th, 2012
@grecican ohhh yeah, figure once was QUITE enough, i just wish i could remember it better
February 10th, 2012
@cchambers ahahaahhaa... or do you?
February 10th, 2012
@grecican um.... well.... lets just say that since this is a family site... i reserve the right to say... no comment ;)
February 10th, 2012
@cchambers haahahahahha noted
February 10th, 2012
Don, in all seriousness, this site is slow as piss

@grecican - it's Virginia Wine day in this house.
February 10th, 2012
@morrisroos considering ace members only pay $20 a year for this service and to most it is free, I would not stress out too much about the time since there are a lot of new members and are probably on the same time as you are. But you should probably contact @scrivna directly instead of filling up a discussion with

@grecican I have bourbon on hand, but would rather have Cowgirl Creamery.
February 10th, 2012
@sdpace we had to put an all out ban on jager in my house after this weekend.
February 10th, 2012
Oh, I thought it was our internet connection which sometimes becomes a tad slow in cloudy weather....it's only been slower over the past week from my perception..
February 10th, 2012
Fluctuates... 30 mins ago it was lightning fast, now it's average, but earlier today it was like ...

...

...

...

slow. xD
February 10th, 2012
@grecican I'm with you on the jager!!! Shiver at just the smell!
February 10th, 2012
I concur about the slowness, other sites I go to dont take nearly as long
February 10th, 2012
NO Jager. And NO shots lol.






Well. Mayyyybe one tiny little shot, but that's IT.
February 10th, 2012
Must be all of us newbies who started their project on Jan. 1st. If you don't like shots of jager, just mix it with coke, tastes great that way and really warms you up.
February 10th, 2012
Everyone pitch in and become ace members and maybe the owners can afford faster servers for all the people who haunt this place.

Beside, I expect slow, being eight hours away and all.
February 10th, 2012
very fast for me on opera, like a snail on google.
February 10th, 2012
The site has felt slower lately. but i simply attributed it to my mind speeding up.
February 10th, 2012


Oh, I thought we were posting turtle shots...nevermind! :-)
February 10th, 2012
@lorihiro Now that was funny!!!
February 10th, 2012
Be my guests and take your pick
February 10th, 2012
I love turtles!
February 10th, 2012
@jinximages @grecican ooh ooh! I have vodka! it's like magic water!
February 10th, 2012
chocolates, anyone?


@lorihiro - right on cue! i like it.
February 10th, 2012
Don, you are absolutely 100% correct. Turtle is being kind. It is also schizophrenic refreshing fast one moment and like a dog the next.

But, it is hard to argue with free.
February 10th, 2012
I agree, Its a nightmare trying to upload from my phone especially!
February 10th, 2012
@grecican hahaha okay! xD
February 10th, 2012
I think it goes in spurts but I find that if I clean up my computer from all the searching, it helps, too.
February 10th, 2012
I has turtles too!
February 10th, 2012
It's true, it used to be faster. I guess it's because of the number of new users starting their project in January. I think by March it'll be faster again as not everyone will stick to their project.
February 10th, 2012
Been with the site fro over a year now , and currently the speed , or lack of it , is ex tremely frustrating. i feel thts following and commenting on friends' photos is now just so difficult.

shame because i love the site
February 10th, 2012
This is one of the few sites that isn't slow for me.... strange
February 10th, 2012
ya, the site has become very slow..takes a long time to load pages
February 10th, 2012
@Scrivna Indeed I hope this will improve soon!!
February 10th, 2012
@lorihiro Haha .. Great shot .. Made me laugh! :)
February 10th, 2012
I have noticed the slow down.

I think $20 is too high considering the free options ''out there''. I'd suggest lowering Ace to $10 and really having a membership push -- give a free year to members who bring in 10 new members, or something along those lines.

The site should also provide banners and widgets to users to put on our own websites.
February 10th, 2012
@lorihiro -LOL!
February 10th, 2012
Turtle. Got bollocked the other night on another thread @moirab --- I think this is a different subject.

February 11th, 2012
@msk1p2 Party at your place! :D
February 11th, 2012
Probably by donating some funds? I'm a total noob here but nothing's changed for me - and, believe me, i've got a SLOW connection!!
February 11th, 2012
I'll get this guy after them and they will wish they were never slow!! lol
February 11th, 2012
@buttercup: Indeed so annoying this speed. But: even Youtube sometimes has these problems. Today I wanted to see some Youtube statistics and he said: "We are experiencing continued data processing slowness. We're going to try replacing the batteries. No data has been lost. Thank you for your patience." LOL
