Do you know how to repair a back end server? Perhaps you can help... https://www.smashingmagazine.com/back-end-server-administration-php-guidelines/
The back end server, that runs this website, needs to be repaired or replaced. It's not big enough to handle all the activity, all the people, and all the games being played, on this site, day after day. David and Jim, the owners of this site, are working on this, but it takes time, effort, and expense, to either repair or replace it. https://www.reference.com/technology/back-end-server-d4d0f1b851cd7424
"Yes. We are working on it. The current status is we're waiting on a disk to arrive so that we can move the database to a faster machine. Our database is so big that it takes almost a day to replicate the data. It's also so big that pricing for having someone else host it for us is unacceptably high. So we have to build everything ourselves and it's slow going." -David, March 27
Your message is from March 27 - today is June 11. Perhaps you could update what is going on???
Yes, an update would be nice. You were waiting on a disk to arrive in March. What's happening now?
That would be what "slow going" means! Not everyone is a rocket scientist with a million dollars in their pocket and infinite time on their hands. This site is their baby and I doubt they are going to rush into the quickest patch just because people are constantly complaining. Maybe if their inboxes were not being filled with 5000 complaints a day they would be able to get the job done. Play the games or don't - it's as simple as that
Exactly jabba, thank you for saying this! There are no further update besides what I have deduced, from that quote I found, in previous replies to complaints, and from Googling "back-end server". I only play these games, like every one else here. I, perhaps, am more annoyed from seeing the same complaints, over and over and over again, and multiple times from the same players, that I felt I needed to give some kind of answer, in hopes of quelling these complaints. Much like the requested repairs, I have not been successful.
