    How come this place is so slow?

    What's up with this site? Every time I go into a thread (okay not EVERY time but it does happen often), it takes about half a minute to view the page, which can be mildy irritating. I know it ain't my PC 'cos I've been on another site for the last couple of hours with no trouble whatsoever. I remember somebody posting about this a while back and I never saw the reply. What's going on here?

    It happens from time to time, right now the forum is working fine and dandy for me, but I have had times like you're describing when it just takes so friggin' long. Sometimes it just happens, it soon passes though.

    I've found recently (eg: last two weeks) it's been particularly good...
    Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives.

    Time to reboot the server.


    Beware the beast, man, for he is the Devil's pawn. Alone among God's primates, he kills for sport or lust or greed. Yea, he will murder his brother to possess his brother's land. Let him not breed in great numbers, for he will make a desert of his home and yours. Shun him, drive him back into his jungle lair, for he is the harbinger of death.

    I have a lot of issues with this site being slow to the extreme. And it is on all PC's that I use not just my home. Ya its a tad slow today but at least I am not getting the dreaded "page can not be displayed" over and over like I did a few days ago.
