Take the Poll! Please :)

[Okiewan]

As you may have read, DRN moved to a new server and datacenter (in Dallas) over the holiday weekend. As a follow-up I'd like to hear from you. Please take the poll?

We've invested a lot of time and money to upgrade DRN to the next level and would like to see how it effects our member's "browsing experience".

Thanks!

I don't see the poll, but it is running much faster :)

 

[Okiewan]

You were too quick :)

 

[Kav]

that's just proof of how much faster it is now :)

 

[LoriKTM]

DRN is so much faster, I can get through the forums quickly and still have time to do real work! :)

Waitaminute... :think:

 

[Timr]

Faster at work,
Much Faster @ home!!! Thanks!

 

[Offroadr]

I voted faster, but I'd say MUCH faster!

 

[elf]

I voted the same, but I take it back. It is faster!

 

[dirty~d~]

There's no option for "my computer is still too slow." :ugg:

 

[Senior KX Rider]

MUCH FASTER HERE :aj:

 

[splatt]

Faster here.

It seems about the same down here but everything is slow down here.

 

[BEEF706]

I voted faster, it might be MUCH faster, but I also swithched form dial up to DSL so everthing is some faster :aj: hard for me to really judge

 

[Okiewan]

FYI: You might want to access the site for a day or two before voting to get a better overall idea of any increases. Your ISP may be having a bad hair day. :p

Forum surfing seems slower, pages are slow to load, more so than on other sites. :bang:
I will admit that there is construction down the street and phone lines are being replaced, so the connection here at work may not be up to snuff.

I voted faster, and it has not locked up my computer yet like before. (I have only been on twice since the upgrade, though.) So far, so good.

Way better, ^ ^ ^ ^ what Jerry said to, My confuser hasnt froze up on this site as it used too.

 

[VintageDirt]

Seems about the same to me. But, my home computer is a total slug ever since I upgraded to XP and the firewall at work is messin with me too.

 

[firecracker22]

I voted slower, but i would change that if I could, because it's the computers at work not the site. At home it's much faster. Our servers are super slow or something.

 

[Okiewan]

Thanks for the update Sharla... I had to assume is was a local thing, I can understand how some MIGHT not notice a speed increase, but for someone to say it was actually slower, was concerning.

 

[Moto Squid]

faster...it was a real slug last coupla days but I can never tell if it's the network as it can get overloaded or the site itself. Today I'm kicking right along!!

 

[Okiewan]

It hasn't been the server, it's running full speed and has been for a week... the most traffic DRN can throw at it and it doesn't break a sweat :aj:

 

[Okiewan]

More speed tweaks performed this afternoon...

 

[Jonala]

I was going to ask if something had changed with your servers. For the past two weeks maybe more connecting and surfing through DRN has been much slower.

It doesn't matter whether I'm at work or home the connection is slow.

Doesn't stop me from visiting. Still the best site dirt bike site that I have used for the past couple of years.

You might want to give your ISP a call and ask if anything is up there.... it's doubtful they'll admit to throttling back or routing problems, but hey, you never know.

The only thing that's changed here is that the site is no longer hosted on a Chevy, now a Porsche and in a data center with a HUGE, redundant pipes to the web.

If you'd like to find out where the bottleneck is, do a tracert on dirtrider.net.

If there's a traffic jam between you and the grocery store, it doesn't matter what you're driving.
