Topic: Forum slowdown?

[Nail_Bombed]

Just wondering if the site is loading slow for people... it seems to be very slow for me right now, when everything else loads up as normal...

I can tell it has slowed somewhat. I remember not too long ago when the load time was insta-fast. Now it seems to take about half a minute, maybe even a little more to load up.

Sometimes it gets slowdown for me and sometimes it gets super fast, like now.

I've not done anything to the forums, nor have I been running any maintenance or something...
...though sometimes I do a forum backup which does cause occasional slowdown... but it's for your own good, you guyzzzz...

I think Jorge just fell asleep due to load time

It has gotten notably slower in the last week or so for me.

The load times were slow for me for a long time. Now it's loading instantly. I'm sure it'll go back to being slow again. It always does. I always have periods of super slow loading and then super fast loading. It didn't matter where I was either. I could be using my internet, or the school's internet.

I have changed nothing since... many months ago.
Perhaps it's a server issue?  But even then, I've not experienced any forum slowdown.

What I have noticed, however, is Firefox becoming considerably slower and slower over time.  I don't know if it's got some kind of memory leak or something but I've found that the longer I leave the browser open, the more sluggish it becomes (especially with my 8 tabs always open, with this forum, youtube, facebook, gmail, hotmail, and whatever else I'm browsing).

i have never noticed any difference recently, even when i use firefox (i always use firefox anyways when i browse the web). it doesn't matter where i go or how long i've left the browser open.
