What is causing all the slowness nowadays?
It takes me 30 seconds sometimes to load a page on a 1mb/s connection, and a lot of the time firefox says the site is down ....

Not that I'm complaining or anything :unsure:


Heh, this took over 100 seconds to post.

Yap same here

I think the server is suffering due to loads of traffic it has to parse those pages too many times/second

I don't know what the server specs are, but if this continues, they should possibly consider an upgrade :-/

Same here, I think a lot of people are visiting/lurking this place lately since they want to find out about the wonderful gp2x

Not slow for me.

Not fast, per se. But not slow.

Craigx is cool.

Sometimes it is very SLOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooww. I have had it take over 2 minutes to load. Sometimes I will get server errors. It happens at about the same time every day. Maybe it is time to upgrade the C-64

 

[TelcoLou]

slow for me as well ...

'fraid to admit it. But I'm a lurker also If Internet cafes were free, I would probably be able to post more often.

Don't worry. It's a firmware bug. It will be fixed within the next update...

Same. goes over 100 seconds at times. Yes, I time it. This load took 3.563 seconds.

I've noticed this too. Both at home and at TAFE.

Sometimes it gets so bad it times out and can't even get on. Right now it's not so bad.

Well, I'm a dail-up connection 56k.

The site runs well but there does seem to be some periods where everything justs freezes up for a while and the pages don't load or refresh. I think it is everybody trying to garner as much news as possible all hitting the boards at the same time and putting a strain on it.

It's bad tonight and only 99 active users?

Maybe a symptom of DDOS-attack?
