its always been that way for me. im guessing they have one crappy web host.
50% of the time the pages dont load and 30% of the time guru is down. and the last 20% when it does work is equivalent to 56k speeds
The website and forum can't contain the thousands of users that Guru has. The phpBB codebase is already crappy as it is, and was never designed to host an MMO game's entire online community.
This is VBulletin. I assure you it's more than capable of handling this number and larger. The fault is not in the forum software but our servers. Which we are trying to solve (as always).
