@guest112233 "I personally don't think it's right to ask users to
contribute money or have to put up with ads." - I disagree. Despite
hotlinking, the site is dealing with a large user base, and a large
block of orignal content (ie the stories). I know mine are verbose
as hell because, well, because *I* am verbose as hell. Maybe you've
noticed? :) OTGC was/is the best website of it's kind.
And it costs money to host a high volume site as OTGC has become.
So ad revenue is 100% reasonable. Plus, the presentation of that
site is such that there is MORE than enough room for it. An add
between each caption, or in the header or footer would only take up
a tiny bit of real estate, and yet would bring money in that would
allow her to use a high quality host.
My fear is that it isn't host, it's database design and retrieval.
I worry that maybe the indexes aren't right, and inefficient
queries use up connections from the pool causing requests to stack
up, leading to progressively worse performance the longer the site
is up. I've fixed sites like that in java. They work great...until
your database isn't tiny and your user base isn't tiny.

Does anyone know what exactly is wrong with OTGC? I saw on World of
TG that there's been an update in the last 4 hrs so I tried to get
in and can't. I usually would not complain because I know they've
been having problems lately but, somone is obviously able to get in
so WTF?

The annoying part is that the owner just seems to have dropped off
the face of the earth. At least update people on what's going on
with the site or transfer it to someone who's willing to pay to
keep it running.

Safe to say that when it started, no one thought it would be so
big. So fast. And that's when shit happens.
Big Data sucks. Conventional approaches simple doesn't work. SQL?
Pff... going to be slower than a sleepy turtle.
And servers will make you pay a lot for bandwidth.
Sometimes I think if it wouldn't be easier just move to Facebook
and let Zuckerberg know about our secrets.
