forums here are very slow for me - I don't even want to browse more than like 3 threads and I'm outta here. Other forums' threads come right up.

under that you get your own server with faster speed where the rest of the forum was on separate server

i like that idea

7400 users online 9:02 PM pacific time. Pretty slow. It sometimes seems like simply reloading or reclicking on the page i want to go to will suddenly make it load instantly. Not a very scientific observation but thats what it feels like.

First time I have had slowdowns in many months, but I'm in the US at the moment so the NSA is probably doing a Full Bit scan or something....

:hmm:

 

[007ELmO]

what are you doing leaving the country and coming back, that is suspect for NSA scan, xD

Same random slowness for me as well. Clicking on forum or threads can lead to several seconds of waiting, and sometimes the link times out.

If you think it's slow now, come back in 40 minutes.... 😀

Same here, during peak hours. Forums were almost snappy at 10am EST today though.

I'm getting 1-5 second load times. In Dallas tx.

They were slow before Saturday night's "maintenance," but they're like molasses in January February today.

Someone had better check the mouse wheel to see of one of the mice escaped or died.

 

[sandorski]

ya, sluggish right now.

 

[Sluggo]

15 second wait to open Off Topic. or any other forum.

Been having issues for a couple of days. I just assumed they were trying to drive traffic away.

 

[vshah]

super slow in the past 3-4 hours for me

 

[Zorkorist]

Very slow. Unuseable.

[Bubbleawsome]

Slow for past 4 hours or so.

 

[BoomerD]

It's been like this for several days for me. Sometimes it seems to get a bit better...then BAM...right back to super-slow mode...or slower.

Out of curiosity, is it just the forums or is the main site similarly slow for you guys? (This way we can rule out network issues versus server issues)

Main site is very fast.

Forums are incredibly slow.

Main site? What main site? 😛

Nah, it's just the forums for me...and apparantly, for zorkorist too.
