Is boards hamster slowly dying?

mike65

Poor fella must be dead tired if not actually an ex hamster, getting 503 timed outs and all sorts of crap.

Thought it was just me - add to that, the Journal.ie site also running VERY slow.
Are they using the same servers?
Are they using the same broadband service - 'cos I think they are in the same building, if memory serves me right?

Same and UPC have been a disaster today, still can't watch youtube vids

RIP

I hope that AH can have a bit of decorum when it comes to his health and likely demise. No doubt he has friends reading this

bronte

I gave him some weed.

Sorry.

He passed away earlier this evening. Any jokes and there will be bans :P

Sigh...... it's pretty irritating. It means I'll probably head to bed as I came on here as a result of being bored with the TV.

Chuck Stone

Down with this sort of thing.

up for anything

Don't talk to me about UPC. In the past week their service has slowed to dial up speeds. I tried ringing them yesterday evening - listened to their fecking ""We apologise for the delay in answering your call. A customer service representative will be with you shortly." for over an hour before the phone cut off. They've raked us all in with their cheap deals and now we'll be paying for it literally. :mad:

RIP Hamster.

Slow for me on vodafone live with full 3g reception. UPC was working fine all day though for me.

What do you say to a website owner with a dead hamster?

Your hamster is starting to decompose and it smells. Please dispose of it, it's making me sick.

They replaced the hamster pretty fast for this hour of the night...what kind of connections do they have?? :eek:

ThisRegard

It's been pretty bad all day but the journal, website and app, are a dead as a dodo. Thought it was just me too until I saw this thread.

Chuck Stone

I was visiting all sorts of weird sites when the boards.ie was down.

I felt kind of lonely.

I need to get out more.

David Norris borrowed him.
He's had a tough day in fairness.

Good reference. I was trying to find a video of Skinner flushing superdude, but no dice.

Chuck Stone

I couldn't log in for the last ten mins. If I were the annoyed type I'd probably be annoyed right now but I'm not really annoyed.

I want my money back. boards!!

That was a scary 10 minutes!!

I thought this was just me. What's the story? I know this is usually a free service from the user's point of view, but it is sort of ridiculous. I've never known another forum I use to have this sort of ongoing issue.

Chris P. Bacon

Fair play Ross he is on the case ,http://twitter.com/#!/boards_ie

Larianne

It's happened before a year or two ago.

Ross will be to the rescue!!!!!!!! But it is a bank holiday weekend. Cut the guys some slack.

Every website goes down. Gmail, Youtube, Youporn and yes even Boards. It went down for a few minutes. Its hardly the apocalypse...

A lot of the Irish internet tubes seems broken tonight, and I've had pretty slow internet since 12pm. I suspect something is being upgraded.

Chuck Stone

That's it. I've had enough of this rubbish.

I'm going on hunger strike until those broads.ie folks sort this thing out by gum!

Its hardly 'ridiculous' that the site goes down the odd time. It happens.
And gives everyone a chance to catch up on some quality 'alone' time :pac:
