<< AT is pretty dead in my opinion. Only the subscribers are still posting because for everyone else it is too slow. That is a very bad thing. The regular forums need to be sped up to "usable" level. Right now they aren't. >>
LaBang, the reason for the "speed issue" is posted by Zuni as the first thread in Forum Issues:
<< As some of you may not know, the forums servers are capped. Which is why, for alot of you during peak hours it is slow. Anand explained why this cap was put in place, to save the forums from being taken down. They consume entirely too much bandwidth, so a bandwidth cap was put in place. During peak times accessing the forums can be slow. Please do not post threads in here about it, as it's a known fact. As of now that is the way the forums will remain, bandwidth capped.
