Originally posted by KewpieUnfortunately I've not noticed anything different recently...guaranteed it'll slow down enormously in a couple of hours, and literally for about 2hrs it's dreadful..peak internet time on the US east coast perhaps. That being said, I'm unsure as to why it always appears to be worse for wear at regular times ( for myself at least ) but doesn't gradually get worse as the rest of the continent 'engages' with the web. It genuinely baffles me, more so when hitting 'my games' appears so swift yet the forum are painfully slow.
Seems I spoke too soon. 🙁
I've done some tweaking to the forum database. This should remove the delay when posting to the forums, and should pass on some performance benefit in general.
Once I'm done with the new RHP dev work, the plan is to change our hosting to a more cloudy solution so server resources can increase and decrease on demand. Right now, we are running on dedicated machines, and despite putting in years of flawless service, they need to be replaced.
edit : Ignore my first statement, it was proven to be very wrong indeed.

It was 7-8am here (MST), so I guess this was 2-3pm UTC.
Something must've worked, because I'm not seeing any slowdown at all now.
