Boards.ie very slow these days?

I would have thought that this thread would have been more appropriately posted up on boards.ie

Has been discussed there ad-nauseum.

I dont think the victim of its own success washes any more TBH.
There are much bigger forums than Boards around & they run much smoother..
OT is about the best example
Look at these specs.

Well, I mentioned 'victim of its own success' in the context that it used to have 100% functionality not so long ago. ie. could check 'own posts', 'new posts', search archived posts effectively.

I like Boards.ie a lot but I dont like OT(off topic). A cursory look at the topics marks it out as being cheap nasty and a bit too tabloidy for my taste.

Anyway the guys at boards are confident that they will have the problems sorted out over the next few days.

With some luck, we will have things sorted over the next couple of weeks, we will get some new servers installed and throw a lot more cpu and ram at the problem (+ a few more technical things). All the tweaking in the world only gives us a day or two before it bogs down again.

I am not that keen on OT myself. I was meerly using it as an example that Boards.ie's problems should not be related to the size & functionality of the forums.
