Zilvia Slow

[JRas]

I prefer Zilvia but sorry to say this website is slow to the point it is annoying. It's sad to say that NICO website is much faster. keep in mind this is only 32 bytes of data. :redxd: <-- this is more than 32bytes of data

it's always been slow. look, it's midnight on the west coast, 2 am here in the midwest. and there's like 70 people viewing the "chat" section alone. this board has like a billion lurkers.

ninjedit: there are 464 users on right now. compare that to a quick loading 240 site like 240sxforums, where there are 124 people on. the load on zilvia is always huge. it's the tradeoff for being the site with the most useful information.

[jdm538]

i have no idea what any of that stuff means but i rarely have lag going onto zilvia. but i have verizon dsl so i dont know.

[understeer]

rare occasions have i had problems with it

[SimpleSexy180]

uhhhh?? works fine for me? upgrade your net son.

[understeer]

yea....and nico just sucks balls

[CKAMC]

idk what it is but some people just have slow access to zilvia but I have never had a problem.....

ISP can be a problem.... and so can your own computer...

[FaLKoN240]

My Zilvia loads "kinda" slow? I dunno.

It's a fine trade off for me. Nothing is perfect.

You can go to shitty fast forums where you get no info quick, or you can go on Zilvia where there is life, and stupid people get put in their place.

I like it here.

[ThatGuy]

We are always trying to upgrade Zilvia's servers and load speeds.

We are still a fairly small site in comparison to some others already mentioned.

Zilvia.net isn't a business. Almost everything we take in, goes right back into server costs and trying to improve the site.

Way to be objective.

1. You're complaining about a difference of 24ms
2. You're physically closer to NICO's servers than Zilvia's (which are in CO).
3. You're not taking into account the amount of hops between servers your data has to go through.


For me:
Zilvia pings at 189ms average, with 18 hops
NICO pings at 155ms average, with 14 hops.

So for me, the difference was 34ms.

If you were complaining about .5/s or more of lag, I could understand your complaint.

I guess if one of us had a right to complain about Zilvia being slow, it's me, since my average is 145ms slower than yours.

I don't, because it's not slow. When/if it is slow (or if things are being wonky), Bob and Mark and I (me being the cheer squad) get the problem resolved so that things run smooth and fast as normal.

That said, this feels like yet another trolling thread. You say that you like Zilvia more, so why complain about less time than the blink of an eye? It just doesn't make sense to me.

Anyway, there's not going to be any Zilvia vs. NICO flaming, because there is no Zilvia vs. NICO drama.

Also, if your page loading really does feel slow, turn off signatures and avatars. 95% of the data loaded in a page load is image data.

[WilloW]

Always been the same to me (decently fast), either that or I've just learned to live with it.

[FinalDrive]

If you use firefox, do this

http://www.zilvia.net/f/showthread.php?t=68912

It dramatically sped up browsing zilvia for me

:keke:


My zilvia hardly ever lags... Im never on nico so idk

[exitspeed]

Zilvia is always speedy for me.

You should also go into your UserCp and change the Default Thread Cut-off Range. This should speed things up a tad for you.

[RJF]

Just an FYI......we are configuring a new, faster front-end server and hope to have it online in the next week or so. Mark and I have just been super busy at our real jobs....yes, we have real jobs.

BTW, pinging is dependant on your distance to server:

So, now I can say NICO is SLOW

:bowdown: I agree

[Pank]

countdown till someone points out that pinging the server has FUCKING ZERO to do with "how fast zilvia loads"

actually, it does receiving data at a high ms times would cause slow loading times. ping is more important than bandwidth

http://www.stuartcheshire.org/rants/Latency.html

uhhhh?? works fine for me? upgrade your net son.

I have 5mbps down and 2mbps up most likely faster than yours

my computer isn't the problem not sure if you guys know anything about computers but here are my specs:
Intel Core Duo 2 E6600 @ 3.2GHz
Crucial 10th Anniversary 2GB ( 2x1GB )

and to the previous member saying I was trolling. I think zilvia.net should be better than nico in every aspect and it may be better in this aspect after the new servers coming up. I know I will appreciate the quicker load

as far as the firefox speed up I have used it a few times and find it's slower on certain sites and can mess up from sending so many requests.

I'd like to thank the people who negative reped me

Yeah braddah tell Mommy and Daddy to upgrade from 56k

Zilvia always loads fine for me

This smells more like a

SABOTAGEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

I'm not accusing you of anything, but seems like a blatant attempt to hate on Zilvia and praise Nico

I hope that's not the case

Shuddup or put out!!! You wanna help with zilvia being slow? Contribute some money for bigger/better servers then buddy. Like Kevin already stated, zilvia dont make money from anything, whatever lil money the site gets from the generousity of advertisers, goes right back into the system in bandwidth, server and up keep fees. You wanna make zilvia a better place, go buy some stickers, become a premie or just donate some money for shiets and giggles and because you <3 this place...;)

Listen allayall its a sabooootaaaaaaaaaaage

DUNDNNUDNNNDUNN DUN DUNDNDUD

[azndoc]

Zilvia is not slow OP.

Your slow and lame.

Whatever.

[JRas]

Zilvia is not slow OP.

Your slow and lame.

Whatever.

love how everyone is so defensive you act like I am saying NICO is better. All I am saying is that Zilvia.net could be faster and if it was it would make the forums easier to browse.

[CKAMC]

Zilvia is pretty quick, configure your network better

less nico vs zilvia BS

I also noticed that with some firewall and antivirus programs actually bog down a computer as part of its excuse for protecting you. Not saying CPU load but network traffic load.

I just ditched kaspersky for AVG because AVG never slowed me down and kaspersky was starting to restrict image and site load. Some firewall apps also get extremely sensitive and also participate in site restriction, example would be zone alarm.

[mrmephistopheles]

Please enlighten us as to how exactly it oculd be faster.

Beyond moving the server closer to your location, I'm not seeing it.

Clearcorners.com.

Faster than Google.

[PBucch]

Site definately loads slow, always has been. minor impedence, IMO.

I have a job
I go to college full-time
I pay bills ( tuition, insurance, cellphone, and rent )
so stop acting like you know me because I am 18

Site definately loads slow, always has been. minor impedence, IMO.

All I am saying and why I made this thread is to bring up the subject there is room for improvement.

[Farzam]

NICO ironically loads slower for me...

But I never go on there anyways.

[CKAMC]

Zilvia is always working on, sorry the site cant please everyone on demand.

[95Blue240sx]

zilvia was always fast for me. Help the cause and donate so the servers can be faster.
