Small update, we've been having server downtime every morning and just tracked down the reason why. This is when backups are running at 7am PST and it's been overloading the server so we'll be getting this switched to something more like 3am.

I sure hope that helps, but I doubt it will. I'm experiencing forum-wide sluggishness every day, all day. Today I got a few time-outs also. I usually access the forums from about 11:00 am to 12:30 pm, and again at various times throughout the afternoon and evening, depending on what I'm doing.These are all pacific times. I know it's not my connection, because every other site I visit loads quickly. It's getting very frustrating, and I often run out of news to read while waiting for threads to load. I think I'm gonna have to start in on my books just to have something to do while waiting.

To be honest, I've been having problems with these boards since I've joined. I'm on EST, and it can be noon or midnight, 2PM or 2AM, and these boards are sluggish as all hell.

I've got a 3.0 Mbps/768kbps DSL connection at home, so it's really not an issue on my end. My work connection feels more sluggish than my home connection, but it's still not enough to explain why these boards are so slow. It's basically to the point where I cilck a link and then surf another window until this one pops up with the information I'm looking for.

Same, I got the laggyness (is that a word ?) just about everyday. After about 10 min it goes away. It's pretty slow because I read random new articles on my Firefox RSSs.

Slow isn't the word..either takes a good min or 2 to load or page times out.

Seems like others above experience the same things I do (fine internet connect, fast loads on other pages, few minutes wait to load pages sometimes or even time outs.)

Sometimes it is faster/slower than others. If a guru page loads in under 30s I count it as fast times

Around 1pm EST (think that's 6 GMT) it seemed ok, but by 2pm I was getting a lot of timeouts. I'm still getting them after an hour or so break, but it's not as bad as it was.

Sorry I can't be more specific.

The load times are horrible right now. I waited through 2 timeouts and a load time of close to a minute just to post my complaint.

Yes today the site is extremely slow. In a race between syrup, a snail, and this server the snail and syrup would beat the server by a year....

Four full minutes with 6 time-outs just to get from forum lists to this page. I would judge that is a wee bit on the slow side

I know you guys. I'd tell you the problem but then I wouldn't need all the nasty PM's in my inbox telling me the expensive solutions to fix the problem. So rest assured that I'm aware and trying to get this fixed soon.

Either I have Database Errors or horrible load times. Even more worse than gamewiki was.

Been slow again today, it is increasing its speed though. Right now the load times are a little better.
