Deleting stuff

Journal Entry: Thu Feb 1, 2007, 3:07 AM
Have you noticed how the load times have gotten so very slow? More frequent time outs? Going from one page to another just takes forever?

We (as in Deviantart) are growing so fast, that the servers and the staff are really having a hard time keeping up.

Well, `Cosira came up with a great idea for helping out with this problem that I followed and I suggest you follow it as well.
Cosira's journal entry on the subject can be found here (I did a copy and paste from parts of it for this entry)
Also, please check out =kkart's journal for a great entry talking about the lag time and such.


Everyone, take some time to go through your Notes (inbox and sent), your Galleries and your Scraps and please delete everything you really don't need. Think on it, imagine the help it would be for the site load if everyone took a minute and cleaned up things that just lay around unread (notes/messages/old journals) and unviewed (ancient things in scraps you have moved far beyond in your skills and abilities).

If you guys think this sounds reasonable, would you please write a journal about it too?
Let's get the word out!

Let's help out the site and ease the burden where we can.

Streching faces, melting clocks
Stomach knots, the spine it locks
Strangled by this fraying wire twisted sideways drifting higher
Round and round and around again
And to this night there is no end

I wrap myself in a badge of honor, a shield of modesty, a uniform of a mu'min, a flag of Islam. I wrap myself in love, because love for Allah is why I wrap
