GBAtemp changes servers almost every year because it keeps getting larger and larger!
We usually know it's time to change servers when the site becomes really slow on a regular basis.

If/when the server is slow, or unusually fast, please make a post here and mention how many users are online.
This will be a great help for us when we re-evaluate the needs & resources.

Thanks!

Not sure how many users were online at the time but accessing gbatemp at work is sometimes so slow for me that it just wont load past the "welcome, cardyology" bar thingy at the top. There are no firewalls or anything at my work. Its a kitchen sales place & I'm the best IT guy they've got.

I'm in the northwest UK & my ISP is BT fusion business (I'm at work

WHen I'm at home the site is rapid btw.....

Costello, sorry if someone's already asked you this..

but any chance of the Friend Code Database to be fixed?

By the way, site's running at 100% for me, perfect! Runs at the same speed as any other fast website ^^


Thanks.

Compared to other websites, this loads the slowest for me. It always takes at least 20 seconds to load the homepage and everytime you go to a new page on this site, the images always reload making the loading process slower.

Yes, works VERY fast! Keep it up!

Btw, where do you host gbatemp.net? Your domain name is hosted at Gandi but where do you host your servers? There too? Or do buy your own and put them in a co-location?

And one more thing just of curiosity, how do you keep gbatemp up really? It must cost a fortune really. And I can't see any ads or do you have secret sponsors?

Decent lately with no IPS which is great.


Note: Load times are usually kinda slow for me but that is because my internet connection is always being whored (Mostly uploadz but downloads periodical through out the week). I will at some point do a proper loading with no BW being used.

    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme

    but that's a long shot

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

    anyways, we need to re-normalize physical media

    if i didn't want my games to be permanent, then i'd rent them

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.

    I don't pirate them, I Use Them :mellow:. Like I do @BigOnYa 's couch :tpi::evil::rofl2:

  • cearp @ cearp:
    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM
  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:
  • cearp @ cearp:
    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm
  • rqkaiju2 @ rqkaiju2:
    i like physical media because it actually feels like you own it. thats why i plan on burning music to cds
  • cearp @ cearp:
    It's nice to not have to have a lot of physical things though, saves space
