RE: Why is this site so slow?
xx:06 - opened four topic windows
did some online banking
read a short motorcycle article and browsed to another
xx:11 - first of four pages loads
checked maps to wisconsin
looked at satelite images of wv (next weeks trip)
wrote this useless post
xx:13 - Hmmm what to do now.,,
Oh! Look! second page loaded
xx:14 - Holy crap, another one!
xx:17 - There it goes, page 4, this thread! Eleven short minuets.
Other applications worked fine, other websites work fine and load fast, as soon as the page STARTS to display the whole thing loads instantly. Same in IE or firefox. Went adblock nuts, hack and slash dozens of filters, its this forum... its not the users. F'ed up! Thank you, I'm not retarded.

RE: Why is this site so slow?
It's your ISP and/or comp settings etc. This site blazes for me.
I use two different ISP's. One on my cable connection at home, which runs around 7Mb/s, and THREE other computers on a BLAZING fast network, re.....the 24Mb/s speedtest I have above. All load ONLY this site low. Now maybe it's the pipeline, who knows, maybe it's localized to the midwest, but this site loads slow on every computer I've touched. The "It's your computer" is a knee jerk reaction that has no merit. Look at the ping times I had. 79ms? CBS 1ms.........
There's a reason, and the common denominator is not my computer or ISP. Whatever it is, there is probably no one here with the answer.

RE: Why is this site so slow?
its a little slow sometimes, some threads wont open so i just skip em. im about 10 down and have all adds turned off and use two isp and computers and its the same. I would think its either the sw, server maint or server speed or all the adds tying it up, but its free i can live with it. It is NOT THAT slow anyway as a rule.

I have a FAST internet connection. Often takes 3-5 minuets to load a page. MINUETS!!!! I'll open five windows and go for a beer. Finish the beer. Go for another beer... then the first page is loaded. It BLOWS. This is, by far, the most very slow site of any type I have ever been too. Activity or not, its F'ed up. Really F'ed up.
