Yep, it's hellishly slow.

"Language most shows a man: Speak, that I may see thee. It springs out of the most retired and inmost parts of us, and is the image of the parents of it, the mind. No glass so mirrors a man's form or likeness so true as his speech." - Ben Jonson, Timber, or Discoveries made upon Men and Matter.

yup! no idea why, and it's frustrating!

Pain is temporary. Pride is forever.

I've noticed the same but I highly doubt it is the size of the database. This forum isn't active or old enough. I looked on the Gossamer Forum website and couldn't find anything about performance problems, but they seems like a pretty professional operation.

From the way the isp trips over the power cord from time-to-time, my guess is that they don't have a great setup.

"your horse is too high" - tigerchik

This forum almost always posts slow for me. And yes, I do have high speed.

This is actually the first time in close to a week, I've even been able to get the Forum to open for me. Let alone sign-in and post. Must be my luck.

I don't work here, I just live here

I always find this board painfully slow. I can't believe they actually charge money for it when there are free and much better alternatives available.

No, it's just getting slower, and slower over the past few weeks. I was going to post something about it but got too lazy. Dan, is there anything you can do about it? It's better in the mornings, and painful at night.

It's got nothing to do with your connection. I've got a T1 and it's maddeningly slow as well. Try this though:

I have to second Todd's comment. We pay big bucks for this site and get dog meat performance. I am certain I am all paid up, and yet I hit a link, go check another site, then come back when the link comes up.

Funny how the page pops right up after a long delay. never figured that one out.

this subject came up a week ago, and i answered then what i'll answer now. we're durrently on a dedicated 400mhz sun server, and moving to a pair of dedicated servers, a dual processor 2gig server to run the forum and a second to host the database. it's up right now on a mirror site, running very fast, and we've just got to finish the data dump and configs, permissions, yins and yangs, zigs and zags, and then we'll be speedy.
