In all seriousness....the site is Dragging best I can figure....is anyone else experiencing this?
We went ALL OUT and got the BEST server we could earlier this year...and we've had problems at the END of the auction before....but never DURING the auction.
Let me know if the site is dragginf for you as well.
Thanks
Yes Sir. I have had the same thing when trying to post.
Yes it is... :(
Yep it super slow for me...took me 3 times to send a P.M before it would go through.....
Yes it is. I just tried to open a thread from a few weeks ago and it was very slow loading so I just closed it out.
draggin
yes indeed!!!!
Yes Sir things are slower than normal on TG for me for sure.
It's slow.
Also, Please remind the folks there are multiple pages to each bid forum. It seems like bidding is going well on the first pages.
Running like a well-tuned Ferrari for the past month, but as bad as I have ever seen it starting at 8 tonight. Auction traffic.
Killdeer :scared:
Had a hard time even getting on, took 3 tries.
The horrors!
hard to place a bid, slow as an oil spill fix.
dragging a bit ...
still getting my bids on though !!!
Like Killy said ...auction traffic !
Slow, can't open PM's.
SLOW
Very slow, but getting through.
Terry,
I have noticed it too. I'm traveling for work up in Montreal this week - and thought it might be an "internationalnish" problem. But judging from the posts above - it's just slow ..... for everybody.
Chinook
Slow for me too.
Super fast, way faster than normal, right now anyway
Thanks Guys n Gals.....that's what I was afraid of!!!
I'd reply but I can't change pages! PM SLOOOWWWW.
Thought it was because I had made a search on 'Turtle Hunting'.
test
Pretty slow for me as well...
Well if you all would go to bed and stop outbidding me, things would speed up a bit.
"HOUSTON" we have a PROBLEM!!!
Looks like us on the WEST COAST will need to be sure to get our *final* bids in the NIGHT BEFORE the auction closes....
:~(
THE DRAG-MEISTER
Well if you all would go to bed and stop outbidding me, things would speed up a bit.
I left to read at other trad sites for a while because my computer just sat there with a vacant stare on its face. My 'green' bar at bottom of the page seemed locked up. I returned a few minutes ago and actually opened a page. Getting better.
Too many folks with multiple windows open hitting refresh. Everyone's auction excited. I am having troubles just keeping one window going.
Sorry but slow for me too.
yep, it's movin' like I do in cold weather!
We are working on it....hang with us.....I'm on the phone with our host at the moment.
Wheels and cables might speed things up a bit ;)
We just set a record for the most users on the site at once. Over 1500!
Draggin and I'm havin bidding problems gotta do it three or four times for it to take. Thanks for tending to it
Yep, I had a problem with a PM and then like to never got back on to look at this thread I saw on the way to get my PM.
It slowed down right after you bid $10 after I already bid $25 for the cigars. The server is all confused now. Tomorrow you can go back and fix that, but I will be watching.
Seems to be speeding up!!!!!!!!!
Going great now. Just bid and it was fast. Thanks for the great work Terry.
Yes its real slow.
A little slow for me tonight, off and on.
Working much better for me now Terry.
Tried to get to my PM's and couldn't. Went away for awhile and then found this thread. Seems to be better now. Let's hope.....'cause I've enjoyed all the change I can stand.

Yes sir, it is slow but I'm a bowhunter so I have the patience to wait it out..lol
I'd like to remind everyone that each thread consists of 4 pages. I saw very few bids except those items on the 1st pages of each thread.
I bid on a bunch of stuff off of mostly pages 2 thru 4 on all the threads and even though I couldn't start them off high I'm gonna need a loan if someone does get in there and out bid me..lol
God bless,Mudd
1500 folks on at the time....1200 now and crusin fine.
We will continue to monitor it....and see what we can do....if you want something....don't wait till the last 15 minutes to try and get a last bid in...it will likely crash again. We think its a software problem, not a hardware problem, i.e....not the server.
Thank you, Terry!
sadly slow
Cruising much better now - good staying on top of things, guys. I'm gonna toddle off to bed now, and look in early in the AM. A big Thank You to all the early bidders - and those trying :jumper:
Yeah it's slow but it's all the more reason to bid high now to scare people away, :)
Working fine for me now.
seems to be a little Slow I see lots of double posts meaning it is taking a while and people are double tapping. Bid now
Yes in deedy, it is ssslllooooooow! Took 10 minutes just to get on the site tonight!
Guess this means everyone needs to bid high while you can, don't think there will be any last minute snipers working the auction threads this year!
Think I'll just put in my Max bid for items I'm interested in and let it ride! Just sit back and see if I get any winner emails! :thumbsup:
Plenty fast at midnight..
Slower than dog snot!
I piddled around here all day long with no problems. Then tonight while trying to log in I thought I was back on dial up.
No problems now though, seems to be running like a well oiled machine.
Watch out for closing time on the auctions though. This could be the calm before the storm.
Yea, I'm thinkin' final bids will have to be in the night before!
Shoot straight, Shinken
Just gotta stay up late and hope the midnight oil bids hold up during the rush tomorrow... running fine now.
Yes earlier this evening it was dragging.
test
Yep definate drag.
Seems to be zipping good for me. But it is 10 pm here on the west coast so a lot of guys might be in bed by know.
Pretty quick @ almost 2am, but earlier it was really bad.
Note to snipers: You could end up frustrated.....bid it up early! ;)
Had no problems on my end.Has been as normal all day.
Test
Pretty quick, but it is 0450 here in the east.
I couldn't get in last night but this AM I'm having no issues.
Dragged last night, but working fine this morning.

we apologize for the slow trad gang access and response problems encountered by most of the members last night.
along with our server host tech, we'll be closely monitoring the site starting at 7pm ET this evening.
at this point we have no hard evidence as to why there were slow response issues. all of the hardware was running at virtual idle, with a very light load at best.
that leaves at least two areas of concern - network traffic and forum software. we're leaning more towards a software issue at this point.
if necessary, our current 'plan b' is to move the auction forums to an isolated sister server for the duration of the auction.
I noticed a drag last night... today seems a bit better.
So far this AM seems OK for me - FWIW
Works great for me now; was frustratingly slow last night.
S.
It's fine now.
Real bad last nite, but seems better so far today. You guys do an excellent job by the way.
Thanks a million!
Charlie
Last night in Opava Czech Republic it worked fine. Today in Barcelona Spain it appears to be fine. I will see about sending when I press
ChuckC
Seemed sporadic to me. Even last night I would do fine for awhile, then suddenly it would drag. Did something else for awhile and came back and it was fine for awhile then would drag again.
This morning got on OK, then it went slow again. Last couple of hours have been fine.
Seems to be loading normal for me.
Last night it was so bad I gave up. Today, no problems whatsoever.
And here I thought it was just me........
Anyone checked out the bidding going on over at the auction? It's a wonder it hasn't come to a standstill! We're doin' the kids proud BTW!
This is one generous community!!
Yes the site is draging bad.
Seams to be working great for me today.. Last night it was a pain to even get to the Welcome page....
>>------->
Cody
St Judes worked earlier today now the bid forums are gone?
I dont see the bid forums either.
It would appear the whole tradgang main page is be worked on.
For some reason I cannot find ANY of the St. Judes forums.....
We are taking care of the problem of what happened last night...before it gets 'tonight'.
Hang in there....
No problem on my end.. They will get this fixed then it's all good for the kids.
Gee - I thought my mouse was broke. H
Very very slow here.
"Patience Hell, I Wanna Kill(buy)Something". Hang in there gang, the "Brass" are working out the wrinkles. :notworthy:
Its back...check it out and see how it goes!
