META: MGoBlog loading very slowly
Not sure if anyone else has this problem, but it's been painfully slow loading any pages today. I tried on a few different devices (including phone on mobile data) - all slow.
It's better than the Drupal errors of old, but taking 2 minutes to load a simple page is a bit much.
January 15th, 2020 at 5:49 PM ^
Happening to me too
January 15th, 2020 at 6:00 PM ^
Even they would say that.....

January 15th, 2020 at 6:00 PM ^
At the Y on my iPad 30secs for main page, 40 sec. for this page. Thought maybe it got the iflu.
January 15th, 2020 at 6:07 PM ^
January 15th, 2020 at 6:11 PM ^
So... how does that explain the other times after the first go?
January 15th, 2020 at 7:17 PM ^
It's been a long morning all day.
January 15th, 2020 at 8:44 PM ^
It's morning somewhere.
January 15th, 2020 at 6:08 PM ^
Same thing for me. I had issues a few times yesterday too
January 15th, 2020 at 6:37 PM ^
Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
January 15th, 2020 at 6:38 PM ^
Reminds me of trying to load espn.com on AOL dial up.
January 15th, 2020 at 7:20 PM ^
...and when nudie pics would come in line by line instead of display right away these days...
err, so I have been told.
January 16th, 2020 at 9:18 AM ^
ESPN loads just fine for me...
January 15th, 2020 at 6:43 PM ^
The cache is cleared...and now I have a giant McGregor vs Cowboy(?) add banner on the bottom of the screen so thats nice
January 15th, 2020 at 7:36 PM ^
Is that ad along the footer new? I've never noticed something spanning the entire width of the display like that before.
January 15th, 2020 at 9:04 PM ^
Same here. Was the cache cleared to add this enormous annoying ad? If so, i'll take the slow loading site.
January 15th, 2020 at 6:46 PM ^
Well, good to know I'm not the only one.
January 15th, 2020 at 6:48 PM ^
Still an issue for me to the extent that this is the first time today that I got a page to load and/or waited long enough for it to load.
Figured it was just the 'normal' issues so wasn't concerned during the day but the first thing I checked tonight was the Mgoblog Twitter account....and nary a mention of the issue.
I am not a (regular) Twitter user and the only other 'suggested' person on the sidebar for me was Ace and a click to his page also didn't show any posts about the site being unusable/down. More specifically, I did not have Seth's handle committed to memory and check *his* history.
I couldn't care less about points and I already knew with the HUEL announcement that I wouldn't like the new layout but FFS if life is getting in the way then sell the site.

Brian was absolutely scammed by HUEL on the site redesign. I can't believe how inept they are.
January 15th, 2020 at 8:39 PM ^
Long past the time to make the “it’s not Brian’s fault” argument. He’s the owner/CEO. He’s responsible. Not that you will ever hear from him about any of the failings of the Blog, or more important how and when problems will be fixed. Of course a simple “sorry guys but I am dedicated to making this work better” post would be step 1 for most CEO’s but don’t bet on that happening.
January 16th, 2020 at 8:03 AM ^
So he should apologize to us because some people have complaints about his product, which he provides to us for free? Try this website out, I bet you will agree with most of the posts:
January 16th, 2020 at 10:32 AM ^
No.
He should apologize to us because some people have complaints about his product, which he provides to us for our clicks which generate ad revenue which pays his salary.
Nothing is free. If you aren't paying for it - YOU are the product being sold.
January 16th, 2020 at 10:53 AM ^
It never fails that someone replies to a legit post with, "it's free", or "if you can do better make your own blog". Sigh.
January 15th, 2020 at 6:57 PM ^
I, too, am riding the struggle bus
January 15th, 2020 at 7:06 PM ^
You know I was hoping that it was like the old days where some big news happened (like Christopher commit) and it led to everyone flooding to here to post
January 15th, 2020 at 7:13 PM ^
Yes, but on the up site points are also still broken.
(takes four minutes from life to post on 'modern' web site)
January 15th, 2020 at 7:15 PM ^
Same here
January 15th, 2020 at 7:18 PM ^
my guess was a denial of service attack, undoubtedly unleashed by cyber-terrorists in columbus.
January 15th, 2020 at 8:48 PM ^
I don't think there are any pizza delivery drivers in Columbus who could possibly be cyber terrorists. That's way outside of their knowledge base.
January 15th, 2020 at 7:22 PM ^
Same here, but porn sites seem ok so all is good.
January 15th, 2020 at 7:30 PM ^
Holy shit... 5 minutes for the board to load up, good thing we have Huel on the case!
January 15th, 2020 at 9:17 PM ^
huel perkins would get this shit handled yesterday.
January 15th, 2020 at 7:32 PM ^
Chipmunks in contract negotiations. Doing the minimum. Classic play.
January 15th, 2020 at 8:03 PM ^
Could you imagine chipmunks stalking the entrance to the facility with picket signs, furiously, menacingly, guarding their turf? Taking hostages... Just a defiant, irreverent, violent display... And Ronald Reagan negotiating with them, begging them to return to duty, so our Mgo experience can be like butter? I certainly do, every time this happens.
January 15th, 2020 at 8:29 PM ^
You’re 50+ aren’t you? Reagan negotiations reference is a give away.
January 15th, 2020 at 7:35 PM ^
I don’t think the MGoOverlords appreciate the withdrawal symptoms and anxiety associated with MGoSiteIssues, especially when a heavy user is traveling for business and craving the sweet release
January 15th, 2020 at 7:46 PM ^
I blame Urban Meyers bitch ass
January 15th, 2020 at 8:03 PM ^
Fucking Russians!!
January 16th, 2020 at 9:19 AM ^
Who is fucking the Russians? Other Russians?
January 15th, 2020 at 8:07 PM ^
It's particularly META to click on a post about the site loading slowly and have it load slowwwwwly.
Word on the street is that the MGoHamsters powering the servers are on a work slowdown; they're demanding that Brian pay their donation to the athletic dept for football tickets, an increase in their daily allotment of sunflower seeds, weekends off, and free hamster porn.
January 15th, 2020 at 8:11 PM ^
The MGoHamster has died. RIP little guy.
January 15th, 2020 at 8:28 PM ^
It appears the issues have been worked out
January 15th, 2020 at 11:07 PM ^
Why do I think that marmot getting pummeled by the other ones is Maizen?
January 15th, 2020 at 8:30 PM ^
Working for me now. Have we figured out how to defend the post yet?
January 15th, 2020 at 8:51 PM ^
Yes...there will be no post points allowed for the remainder of the season.
January 15th, 2020 at 9:14 PM ^
+1 for you, sir... not like it really matters though.
January 15th, 2020 at 8:32 PM ^
As a side note, Chernobyl has left us... RIP In Peace
