Coasterbuzz running EXTREMELY slow

Not trying to sound angry or anything, but I would just like to notify you, Jeff, that the site is running really slow the last two days. And i dont think it is my computer, because all other sites are working just fine. I am just wondering if there is something wrong with the site, and is anybody ese having this problem?

No, it's been EXTREMELY normal for me.

I think its the sponsors stuff on the right side of the site. The main page sometimes takes forever to load and thats the thing that takes the longest. But o well I just dealt with it as long as it helps keep the site up.

I have noticed that the ad on the right side of the page (the RCT stuff) has failed to load altogether a couple of times recently, but it's there right now. If I had to guess I'm saying that's where the problem is.

No problems here. Circuit has not gone down and has not been tapped out.

Loading like lightning for me. Maybe you have just been deleting those cookies a few too many times?

Coasterbuzz has been loading up like lightning for me.

Sometimes however I get slow log ons but it's probably just a lot of internet traffic especially around 11 am.

There's RCT2 stuff???

Here's one time when it pays to be a non-member! ;)

Just an advertisement -- shows the cover pictures for the RCT2 and RCT Gold boxes. No game info or anything like that....you're not missing much.

It's been running faster than ever for me and I delete my cookies every night before bed.

Well, its working fine today. I dont know what was wrong with it. Thanks anyway guys.

B&M Rocks,

It could be a general routing error. Somewhere along the line a router might have looked at Jeff's IP, or your IP and decided the best route would be to take you on the backroads, rather then the highway where you should be.

Kind of like when Mapquest gives you directions that you know is the wrong way to go.

(fyi: mapquest often gives CP directions routing through a few subdivisions, also, when getting directions from my city to pretty much anywhere, mapquest takes you the 6 mile way to get to the freeway, rather then the 1 miles way.. go figure..?)

Or BGP was sending it along a previously "good" route that had become congested, since it doesn't look at latency or throughput...

(I work for a company trying to solve this very problem, and we actually finally have a real webpage :) )

DELETING them? I just keep eating all mine...;)

It has been running fine for me.

Bill, Bill, Bill... tsk tsk tsk.. "Deleting" is just an "insider" term for eating them.
