I visit 6 or so automotive forums regularly, and this one is by far the slowest. It is far slower than any I have experienced. Could we like take up a pool for some new servers, or something?
OT: Painfully slow forum

Agreed, and in the last few weeks there have been numerous times I could not even get on due to timeouts. I use a T1 line in my office and a cable connection at home. This has been a problem, on and off with this forum as long as I can remember.
Ditto, Ditto, Ditto.
It's really variable--this morning it is very fast. But I have 4 mbps cable at home an T1 at the office, and either location it can slow toa crawl (45 sec loads or timeout) when other sites are working fine.
Guys, there was a problem with our T1 line's service provider (AT&T). Frank was aware of this and evidently a fix has been in place.
Personally the site loads quite quickly for me, except of course when I'm on my hiptop2 (Sidekick2 for those of you in the US). Of course, there are also peak times, such as the early morning, noon Pacific Std time, or the evening, where we get much more traffic.

Also, for those of you at work, it seems a firewall can really slow things down depending on how it is configured.
I have DSL at home and a firewall but the forum loads quickly there. However, at work with a T1 line and firewall it is as slow as molasses. IS tells me it is probably because there firewall settings are very restrictive.
