Lady are you talking out of your Arsenal?

Stop fudging about.

Great work!

Please also have a look at the suggestions thread and keep them noted down please! My request is very minor and do-able in just a few seconds!

Cheers

Lady are you trying to take credit for someone elses hard work?? Naughty!

posted on 19/5/11

Yeah I reckon all this hype about everyone wanting Lady to come over here has got to his head!

Who is this Lady everyone keeps going on about?

but the site is too slow to open. what is it with the site? there are no many people out. I think people haven't been yet informed and come to this place.

who's the manager of the site, Goonz? you seem like you are making yourself the manager.

Ethio I am doing nothing of the sort. Yes I am helping promote the site and am informing users who might complain about the site being slow or not having all features as I was one of the first on here and spoke to ja606guy so know what they are doing.

Plus just felt like everyone should know the situ on the smilies as they will effect everyone.

Just trying to spread the joy for all!

---------------------------
at the moment, according to the front page, the site is being run on a private server, probably using residential broadband. They are moving it onto a dedicated server, utilising far more open bandwidth, at which time the site will speed up a lot.

And will probably cost an arm and a leg!

i'm not one of the one's promoting ja606 on other sites but given your average users online hots about the 150 mark and the not606 site is averaging around 490, i'd say you need all the help you can get to get this to overtake. I appreciate that both this site and theirs take a lot of time and effort to get up and running but surely it makes sense to get the word out there that this site exists. At that point if they prefer not606 then so be it. It's a dog eat dog situation. If this site is better, which i think it will be, then as long as members are aware of it, they'll choose this site over the others.

We're already supposed to be on a professionally hosted virtual server, which has down stream bandwidth of 100Mb/s and 8 CPU cores, but we are falling foul of a memory restriction that we have been constantly kicking our providers about.

It takes about 10 minutes to post an article, and about 30 seconds to actually load a page on JA606. i wonder what it would be like with X amount of people on it, If its this slow with a minority of people, then its going to be alot slower with alot more.

posted on 19/5/11

The speed seems fine for me but at work we do have ridiculously fast broadband

posted on 19/5/11

Yeah its fine for me at work and at home also.

Maybe update your internet?

posted on 19/5/11

My internets fine.. A few people had said its slow.

posted on 19/5/11

Not too fussed about smilies, can do without those. But others seem to miss them ...

On the competition front - why should it be dog eat dog as someone suggested ? I think the different sites will attract different sorts of people. This one is more sensible (so far anyway) and goundrules look good. And the anti-wum campagin can only be good.

Can't wait till things settle down and proper footie talk commences.

posted on 19/5/11

Yeah thats what I am waiting for again.

Good old fashioned footy talk but while 606 is still around it will still win on that.

Over here its still the honeymoon period so everyones on a bit of a high!

And now for the good news - we have just received the original 606 smileys from the BBC and will endeavour to get them in play as soon as possible.

Oh god, I think I just soiled my pants!

I hope the awesomeness of myuber smilies will recieve less abuse on here, was amazed at some peoples reaction to simply art.

Are you really getting them directly from the BBC606 people?

posted on 19/5/11

I'm on Google Chrome both here and at home and this website runs fine on both

posted on 19/5/11

Great news. Great website!

We have spent most of the day on premium rate numbers (not that kind!)

Ha, that's what you say.No wonder everything's so slow!
(I'd insert a smiley here except....)
Seriously, the site loads a bit slow, but otherwise it works fine for me. I did have several stress related episodes whilst trying to register but that, as they say, is history.
Keep up the good work.

P.S. Preview formatting's a bit weird.

Please increase the amount of time to stay logged in.

Also, believe with or without advertising this site will overtake any other simply by word of mouth.

As soon as BBC 606 closes there will be a major influx to this site. Hope the servers can take it...
