Tribalfusion?

[Perfect Balance]

The past hour or so, everywhere I went on GTP took around 1-5 minutes to load on my DSL connection. And each time it said either "connecting to a.tribalfusion.com" or "transferring data from a.tribalfusion.com" at the bottom.

Is something wrong with their site? It's getting really annoying having to wait that long for each page, especially when I'm just going in a thread to see what it's about and going back right away.


EDIT: Hmm....Works fine now......

EDIT#2: It seems to be doing it at random intervals. Sometimes it works fine, other times I have to wait.

I've been getting longer loading times myself but it seems okay again now, but I think it always says waiting for a.tribalfusion.com at the bottom.

 

[Perfect Balance]

Yes just now I saw a "waiting for a.tribalfusion.com" too.

I've seen that too and this page took nearly a minute to load, with three post's?

I'm on a 1 Mb broadband connection using Firefox browser (with only one page open,) I thought it was just me?

What's going on?

 

[Jondot]

I get that on other sites. Some days they're alright, others not. They're a pretty big ad company - i guess they're becoming a bit over used.

It is a very large company - it's a good example of how critical uptime is for someone in their position. Downtime can mean affecting hundreds - or even thousands - of websites and millions of users!

Im getting the same thing, at least 30 sec for a page to load on a cable conection. Heres the half loaded screenshot with "tribalfusion" at the bottom:

As you can see, Jordan has already told us why this happens. Tribalfusion is the company that supplies the ads for GTPlanet.

How to fix it? Get Premium!

I'm thinking about going Premium for my birthday in August, but I still see a waiting on a.trubalfusion.com message, but it's only 5 seconds or so. Should be no problem.

I can't get premium cause I live in SA

Maybe he can't get a Paypal account to work in South America. Their country page is here.

Oh, my mind was running all over trying to figure out why! I thought it was some legal thing of something!

^^Lol^^
Yeah, the way to fix it is to get GTPremium. There is obviously no adverts, and lots of other features.

There is obviously no adverts, and lots of other features.

Well, not entirely true, it is only the boards that have no ads, the rest of the site has ads (eg the home page, the guides etc.). Jordan explained why here.

Meh

Yeah I know, was gonna say it but I thought it obvious.

Not to me, I'm an idiot!

I just got hit by the fusion of the tribes. an extra 10 seconds loading.

I also noticed something called pagead:googlesyndication2, though it only wasted 2 seconds.

 

[cardude2004]

That was the Google ads at the bottom of the page (the sponsors).
