    Is it just me or has the posting on the site in general slowed down a bunch? Perhaps I am just here more, but there used to be more pages of new posts to read through.

    Could it be people are actually using that search button? Nahh, probably not.

    Splitting up the IHOP won't help too much, however, blocking/slowing the web crawlers from it will make a HUGE difference, as it likely archives the entire thread each time it visits the site.

    robots.txt in docroot with:

    User-agent: *

    Crawl-delay: 10

    Request-rate: 1/5 # maximum rate is one page every 5 seconds

    Visit-time: 0400-0845 # only visit between 04:00 and 08:45 UTC (GMT) or 11:00pm EST -> 3:45am EST

    Disallow: /forum/Welcome-IHoP-t2235.html

    I couldn't get into a thread no matter what I tried, I was able to get to the individual sections, but couldn't list a thread without a forum error, which appeared to be related to a URL plugin, likely the SEO friendly URL's. Also, the URL's being generated are different from the URL's I checked last night. Example: 97f23-{34221}-Nightshade-v2-New-Personal-t34096.html instead of just Nightshade-v2-New-Personal-t34096.html, something like that.

    The only time I've seen my droid somewhat slow was when I had a toooon of applications running at the same time. It runs everything in the background you don't specifically close. Download Task Killer (free) and kill off all the junk in the background, and speed/battery life goes through the roof.

    We are working on it. Might have to move to an ever faster host. The ever climbing costs to run this joint. ;(

    I would definitely make sure you exhaust your optimization options before upgrading again. I've seen similar sized/larger forum sites that cause hell on our shared/vps server wanting to upgrade, push them to optimize a bit instead, and never hear from them again. We have a few larger forum sites that run IP Board if you need a comparison, but I don't see any of them with a thread of 250K replies. Oh, if not in place, mysql query caching/application caching will likely solve the slow loading problem alone. :domoslay:

    For the last few days Firefox won't hold my cookies after I exit. I always have to sign in on here, put in my full email address at hotmail even though the "save my email address" box is checked, etc. But my cookies settings are set to normal/save. wtf.

    It's been doing this to me for over a week and a half now, I might try Google's Chrome browser as I've been hearing good things recently.

    Cool,

    I will just have to wait until he sorts through his massive emails. Seems like he does really good work and I am looking forward to doing business with him!

    V/R

    Freeway!

    Check out some of the threads in this section, his work speaks for itself, very tempting. :fing34:

    I asked my director if we could do some re-arranging of the phone system as it's so slow, and "He said just have people go home if they want, and you get pick the ones that came in early to go and work it out for phone coverage."

    Woot!

    I love making peoples day. I'm gonna close up shop tonight though.

    :P

    They always have me messing with our phone system, Trixbox (Asterisk + FreePBX), fixing slowness/stuck phones/etc. I hate phone systems, so messy in the programming/backend.

    Most HO alternators (that i've checked out) put out most of their power at idle. A HO alt plus a few batteries in the back on a saz 3500d on two btl's, guarantee you'll be happy. :drink40:

    sweet! sounds good to me. this is just another preference question i guess but is there a battery brand that works better than the other or a particular one that most people use for systems like this? kinetic, stinger, and the other guy mentioned group 31 but im not quite sure what that is?

    group 31 is just the size of the battery. I would check out XS Power, they have a slightly higher floating point than other populars, but also a bit more expensive. Kinetik is another great brand/popular company, deka's if you want to save a few bucks. Optimas are good batteries, but there's better/bigger out there.

    how much money i want to spend is really what will work great. im not setting a price and saying i have to get an amp under a certain amount. my price is whatever amp will do the job the best and make me happy with the system. and you said the more power the amp produces, the more my truck has to produce which is another concern i have. I know im going to need at least a 250 amp alternator along with batteries but my question is how do peoples vehicles run when at idle with the system going? it just seems like the vehicle would shut off. im just curious what everybody with big systems do to overcome this or if its even a problem at all.

    I need that sheet also, how much does it cost at Lowe's for that. I get mine at Home Depot for $25

    That sized sheet is $26 at lowes near me, I can't find it on the Home Depot site though. I'll have to stop by later and check out quality/price.

    Mark do you happen to know where he's moving?

    Found this in a previous thread:

    'I'm in the process of packing up and moving back to Kelowna right now.......

    if this enclosure is being used it will turn up eventually

    BTW.....I'll still be available for SSA products during the move over the holidays but the enclosure builds

    will be on hold untill after new years....... (BIGGER SHOP) and 20 x the population to work with :santa:'

    I agree with KU40, it sounds like you want more midbass and are expecting it from the subwoofer. Assuming this due to the high crossovers and the OP saying the lows sounded great. You'll likely notice a world of difference once the subsonic filter is lowered to ~30hz and LPF to ~100/120hz.

    The install is EASILY the most important part. My buddy and I both happened to get the same subs, sony xplod pentagons when they first came out. We both had very similar amps, sony, I think mine was 1200w, his was 1300w (from a year earlier). The sound coming from those subs was VERY different between our installs. Even though we both had different cars, mine was a volvo 850 and his was a 90 civic sedan, COMPLETELY different sound from the subs due to different tuning/boxes/etc. Even when we traded boxes/subs, the boxes sounded different in the other car.

    tldr: Put a sub in a properly built enclosure vs. a prefab or smaller enclosure than it should, you'll see quite a difference.

    Please read noob guidelines, need more information in order to help

    thanks

    Indeed, can't understand what you're even asking. Wild guess, but are you asking if you should run a fi btl (15 or 18) on top of a single 12 inch btl/2 ssd's? If so, then no. Pick a single sized sub (probably the biggest you can fit) to play the low frequencies (up to 60/80 hz'ish) and play the rest from the front stage (60/80hz and up).

    I haven't had any viruses/anything nasty in yeaaaars now, what are you guys downloading? :ehh:

    Adobe acrobat pro 9 keygen.

    Ah, likely a torrent. I've downloaded tons of them without any problems, but I usually get them from btjunkie.org. Read the comments, people usually post if they got a virus in them. Occasionally, I'll grab something from someone's webhosting account before sending them a pirated software notice, but run those under the non-privileged user.

    Try this, make a new account (WITHOUT ADMINISTRATIVE RIGHTS) to surf your porn/exploitable flash games/torrents. Once you have everything back up again, make an image of the install with Norton Ghost or something similar, so you always have a quick restore point. If I were to pick up a virus, I can have everything fixed within 15-20 mins.

    Edit: Oh, and update your Adobe products (flash/air/etc), there's a huge worm that steals saved ftp passwords causing hell at the moment. (Gumblar)
