They are far too busy working on the WHO clock

If signing a brace of sloths slows the server down this much, imagine how it will be on the matchday thread should we string 3 decent passes together playing out of defence...

How about locking the threads with more than 10,000 replies, and starting a ‘continued’ thread, if those threads are causing the problem

The server works on punched tape.
Unfortunately, this is no longer manufactured, so WHO has to recycle existing stock by filling in the holes with tippex, and the server has to wait while this dries.

I think a mod has spunked all over the computer fan thinking about the exciting transfer news.

Couldn’t the WHO fund be used to pony up for a replacement VIC20, or possibly future proof itself by splashing out on a C64?

Somewhere in cyberspace there is an unloved MySQL database server that hasn't been patched for years. No wonder it has a tantrum now and then.
PHP was old hat when I started web developement at the turn of the millenium. I bet whoever wrote the site never imagined it would still be staggering on after all these years.
Quite a feat really.

Why is this site as slow as Boltkunts brain recently?
MS SQL server is shit. Replace it with Oracle or DB2. Get a decent DBA in the clear the cache and index the database. I’m sure there’s enough money to fund one.

You could set up a brand spanking new chat board on an iphone that functioned a million times better for 10p.

This site is littered with posters quite prepared to tell others how to set the site up, but equally unprepared to do the actual work, as that would be below their rank and status in society.

This site runs on MySQL which is OK but has a replacement, MariaDb which is excellent and also still free..
Oracle is bloody expensive if you want performance (we just moved off it at work and saved a fortune)..
I did offer to help out but, from what I remember, nobody knows how to access the server(s) any more.

Branded who are these "owners", maybe the site is so slow is that any funds needed to move the site onto a different platform went up in smoke whe all and sundry were moaning about the ads that the "owners" had the temerity to enforce on the entitled posters.
This site is kept on due to some romantic notion that it gives West Ham supporters a free platform to voice their opinions and not hide behind paywalls or subscriptions.
I've been on this site since its inception and am now of the same opinion that Alex had when he washed his hands of it.
Anyone interested Whomail me

I assume it was you who locked the Ukraine thread, and most likely the Trump thread and the Brexit thread?
