Question Forum Slow

This Forum has become very inconsistent regarding loading speeds.
Today it's like watching paint dry to get any posts loaded, and even slower to post myself.

Only this site. All the others I visit are much MUCH better.

So... Whassup?

Wondering...

Probably just the old, outdated platform

Having the same issues - very slow to load - if at all.

The mods have come to realize that some people read slower then others, so in the interest of equity we asked the admin to slow the entire forum down for everyone.

That’s why I think all posts should be double, so some of us that don’t understand can read it again.

Bahahaha! Forum works fine for me. Windows 3.1 does slow things down when I use my older unit though.

Thumbs down

Shouldn't have said a damn thing!!

Now it's so slow as to deter me from even checking in.

Took over 10 minutes to log in, load this topic, and reply. NUTS!

Time for some tweaks @Admin!

Has the federal government taken over? The forum is about as low as renewing a PAL, or a passport.

My dial-up called from 1998. It said it cannot wait for the response from this server.

Back to CGN... And it's working as normal, unlike this site.

Glad it's not just me...tried/reset and tried again with 4 different devices
thinking the problem was on my end.

Perhaps the federal government is involved. Everything they do takes 20 times as long as it should.

Looks like it has returned to normal, at least for me. But all day I couldn’t log on without ten minutes to load the first page. Being at work, I didn’t have the patience .

Thanks to the powers that be for restoring the expected performance.

For those of you finding it slow, it's actually a new form of punishment. Instead of getting banned off the forum, mods are now slowing your internet connection instead!

Sorry about this. Our ISP is having issues. But hopefully it won't be too much longer.
