Sorry guys had to take the alpaca avatar down - the lads demanded payment (copyright) - they can be quite precious about such things. Anyway for those with the sniggering schoolboy sense of humour the picture was not what you think. In fact one of the lads wants to be a chiropractor and was practising some "manipulations".

choke i'm more at home with a hammer & chisel, or wrench in my hand.

I'm not an IT expert like yourself. so when there are computer issues, I try everything I can think of to try to sort the issue.

One thing that I have never stooped to, is to be a lesser human being,,, by trying to belittle others. you I suspect have a long road ahead.

....perhaps you can teach us all instead of wasting your creative spirit on negativity.

Lol calm down mate, it was a joke, I wasn't trying to belittle you.

Pretty harsh to call me a "lesser human being" after posting a meme.

Have a sense of humour and take it in stride.

who are they biff

Visa,paypal,wikileaks,CIA,The Alpaca Liberationist front,the commies,the NWO,the guys that staged 9/11 and the moon landing.All of them.

who are they biff?

the faceless men of course..................maybe even vcat

well if you care, & don't want people to misunderstand you, make it more obvious. There are ways.. tones don't come across the text of an internet. especially to Non readers.

thats why there are emoitcons, that is if they aren't beneath your ego to use them.

& the demonland mods!

anonymity is best.

I want to maintain mine, except to who I choose.

like low brow stockers.

like those who ran the No campaign?

aren't we lucky that negativism isn't running Us!

you're getting too philosophical for me d-l

biffo and bbo might be able to answer that better

hahaha, cheers daisyC

I'm an invisible man to, I think... sorry about that stockers.

slow as a snail currently

3 PM and the slowdown has started again.

Third day in a row and it's happened around the same time each day.

I hope that info is useful.

It seems to be too coincidental that the slowness starts at around the same time each day.

Anyway we will be moving to a new server tonight so hopefully the problems will be left behind.

Was slower than a herd of Turtles stampeding through molasses uphill in winter.

But seems Ok now.....

might be the provider's wan bandwidth

where ( general locale ) is the server. Sitting on a decent pipe or just part of a 'affordable ' farm ? just asking

Nasher will be able to answer the technical questions.

Bandwidth has never been an issue with us before and the site has performed better in times of greater amount of visitors.

yes, but if it is shared bandwidth at a server farm, the volumes of the other servers may increase at certain times of the day

Could be but Nasher is my chief technical advisor and he will be facing the media shortly to answer all your questions.

Thats the thing.. Most folk arent aware but even those u beaut figures as to bandwidth provision are notionally based on the average back to the node. Get the other 3 or 7 ( depends ) deciding to get jiggy jiggy with use , yours takes a dive , irrespective of the advertised. Same shlt happens as DC suggests on farms. All it takes is for some one new to be busy in a timeslot or someones business to be based around a specific locale or event and you suffer.

The ISP will have an out clause somewhere on page 17 in 5 point font in grey explaining it all

anyways you guys do a great job and provide a wonderful service. Im sure you'll have it in hand and we're all right behind you !!!

Was going to say something but by the time I got to this page I had forgotten what I was going to say.

How does a "server farm" differ from an alpaca farm?
