Anandtech Forums Awfully Slow Lately?

[MrCodeDude]

The topic names it all, even on my work's DSL connection (yes, I'm at work ) And still, messages seem to load very slowly and replying is even slower. It's worse on my 28.8K connection at home. Any connection problems from the rest of you?

yeah.. i'm at work on my computer with a T1 connection.. its running really slowly here too.... i'm about to give it a rest for a while and maybe try actually being productive and do what i get paid for instead of playing online.

 

[Shy]

Slow.... as.... a.... 300.... baud.... modem....

 

[Jarwa]

Yes! Slow as ass today!

 

[jcovercash]

yep its slow me me too on cable.

 

[SSP]

Too slow.

 

[MrBond]

I'm blaming it on the code red worm today. It's not the forum servers.

 

[Kelvrick]

Its really slow. Opening certain forums is still fast, but then opening a lot of threads is slow. Been going on for me for a while now.

 

[HelloBrother]

yep

 

[zippy]

It's perfectly fine for me...

 

[gopunk]

was slow recently, here on my work/school T3 connection... but it's better now.

[jamesave]

It happens to me too. Hope it works faster.. cause I do enjoy this forum.

 

[bunker]

Everything seems slow today, I'm getting timeouts, partially loaded pages, etc.

My guess would be Code Red again, especially since according to Fox News it's expected to start spreading again.

If so, I'm going to be making lots of OT money but I'll be hating it.

Viper GTS <-- Submitted a timesheet for 102 hours last pay period.

 

[Ameesh]

i thought it was just me!

 

[thebestMAX]

Yes, noticed it has been slower lately for me also.

Think it is the advertising but then again, it is worth the wait. Everybody is entitled to a little profit.

 

[MrCodeDude]

Aww, it's loading a lot faster. Whatever someone did, thank you
It was like bad lag in a CS game
