Whats going on here guys. How come lately everytime im on poorboy lately it says too many connections wait 30 secs. I dont know what kinda rickity place this is but it needs to be fixed. I for one pledge to donated 1,000,000 genuine monopoly dollars to get this site moved to a larger server.
Come on wheelers pony up the doe and get er done.
But for real, is there actually too many people on here now??

Unlike the home page this forum is hosted for free. There are probly a couple hundred/thousand sites on this server. If there are too many people on the server then thats what ya get. They actually have around 70-80 servers up. Ours is on server #31. Nothing I can do about it unless I spend money. Since I aint got any money every now and again I just have to deal with too many connections. Donations are great and all but if one month rolls around with out enough then either I get stuck with bill or forum goes down completely. So free is good.

I wasnt givin ya a hard time I was just wonderin. I think that its awesome that we have a free place to come, cause like the name says, us poorboys are poor!! If not cause of our rigs because of our wives!! (LOL SHHH dont tell anyone) Or school. Just out of curiosity how much space does it take for this website. I would be willing to throw in the pot to look on ebay or something for a server nobodys usin. That is of course if one of us here knows how to run a server.

Server wouldnt do any good without the program. What type of program is it. Im not pushin its just such a great forum I didnt know if it would be worth a shot to get a pool going and upgrade. I really know nothing about the stuff though, I dont know if it would be worth the trouble. I know they just went through it on marlin crawler forum and the change was amazing. But then again I really have no clue what it involved.

PHP forum program. I would have liked to have a better website/forum too but at this time it just isnt in the works. Who knows maybe in the future we can get a full sponsor to pick up web hosting for 1-2 years at a time. The one good thing about this forum though is I could go offline perminently and the forum would still be going until I deleted it because there is no renewal.
We just need to hang in there, ya never know what the future holds.

They are looking to get into building 4x4. They have talked about sponcering me to get my rig in some competetions and they seemed excited about the possablility. Anways wouldnt hurt to ask. Come on poorboy your not going anywhere unless God takes ya LOL But at any rate its good thinking.

it usually happens during peak times. After a while the host usually fires off some new servers. We have had pretty good luck with service from them. It does get erritating sometimes but I can live with it for now.

I sent a messege to proboards about the problem. It looks like another server of theirs has the same issue. They should look into it. If they need to they will move some boards around and try to eleviate the issue.
