Slooooow browsing Anandtech forum using Windows XP! WTH?

I'm using Windows XP and IE6 on a 1Mbps cable connection and navigating through Anandtech's forum is about as slow as a 28.8K modem! Other sites are just fine, but others are slow too. Anyone else have this problem? This is REALLY getting on my nerves!
 
Yeah, Anandtech is kinda blowing off the non-subscribers. It seems OK in the mornings (EST) but not fast. I'm finding myself coming here less and less because of the speed. Oh well, plenty of other forums out there, <sarcasm>but i'm not bitter.</sarcasm>
 
yeah, its not XP. try forums2 and forums3.anantech.com, occasionally one of them will work much better. right now forums3 on dialup is faster than forums on my school's net connection (usually rates about 4MBps 😉)
 
That's weird, on my 2000 box running IE6, everything runs just fine. However, if I have to pay to come here, I'll just stop coming. I'm sure no one will miss me, but I'm not going to pay to help someone out. I ask questions here, and I also answer some too. I think that should balance itself out. If I have to pay to get "normal" access to this forum, I'll just start coming less here. You guys are GREAT, but I'm not paying. 🙁

Why not show the Anandtech forums a little support? Its not much money anyways.
 
Well, I'm unemployed now and $30 would have seemed like a drop in the bucket 2 months ago, but now seems like an added expense that I just can't justify. Anandtech, no matter how great it is, is on the VERY bottom of my priority list for giving out extra money. I'm barely paying for my internet connection, I can't dish out anymore. 🙁
