It runes slow for me to just like you said and sometimes I get timed out.It is because there are a lot of ppl on the site at the peak time of day and I am not sure of the bandwidth.It seems to me the vb as apposed to bb board run a little slow in FireFox if that is what you are using.There is Forum about the site as well at the bottom.

I've never had it run that slow - but in comparision to other sites it is a little slower.

Like treacle today, taking 5 mins or so to open a page and I also have a damn quick line too. If it isn't taking ages to open then it's either timing out or throwing up the old .php box

I can tell you I have had many, many, many, too many conversations with our network owner and server admin to try to improve and see what we can do. We need a new server and that is something that we are very much working toward, but it's thousands of dollars for a quality one where we won't soon run into the same problems again. We've had numerous discussions and while I don't want to get anyone's hopes up (because I believe that's even more frustrating) we are closer then ever and I'm being told soon and that hopefully this will make up for the excessively long wait.

So while I can't give an ETA or provide more information then that, I continually see this thread. Acknowledge and try to let you all know that I understand the frustration, and am and have been in discussions for quite some time over the server speed.

yep, guru is one of the slowest sites I have ever visited....some days it runs pretty quickly (like a minute to load pages), other days 10 minutes to just get the white page of death....but thats normal for guru in my experience with it. (today it took over 1/2 hour to finally get one page to load, and no my dsl line is just fine on every other single site I visit...it is guru).


not much we can do about it, I usually do other things while surfing guru, make dinner, eat breakfast, take a shower, dry my hair, watch tv, answer the phone or door....I have learned that this site makes my mom-in-laws dial up on everyother site look super fast!

I just noticed there was 1.8k people viewing Guru after reading this thread. That's alot of people, cgz to guru for being so popular! I mean that's like one mmorpg's game server almost. I guess all those people are causing the lag. I think some real advertising would help, not just advertises for Zwinky or some dumpy mmo. Like real game advertising from game companies.

they really do need a new server setup. its always slow for me too and downright impossible during high traffic times of the day. i really like guru better than the other elite gw sites.

the past couple of days the site has been running quite a bit faster than usual...normally it takes like a minute for me to load pages...now they are coming up with minimal delay...no more than 10-15 seconds or so.

If there's been any recent changes...they worked. Nice job.
