Guess it's a transient problem in different areas. Here in NorCal the site is flying... but folks I know on the east coast say differently...Perhaps some internet companies are throttling their high-usage customers? I had heard that ATT does that.
I just ran speedtest and it says I have 21ms ping, 8.42 mbps download and 2.45 mbps upload and the site seems quite fast...no real delays at all.
Try speedtest.net and see what your internet provider is doing before complaining.
As you could see from my above post, what I am experiencing with this site is absolutely NOT an ISP speed or bandwidth issue. I am on multiple different networks from multiple different ISPs everyday with speeds ranging all the way up to T3 connections. I agree a speedtest.net and pingtest.net test results can be a good indicator of some localized issues. But this doesn't seem to be one of those times.
The network I happen to be on right now........ 4ms ping, 112.4Mbps down, 73.2Mbps up .... is still getting periodic "server failed to respond" errors while trying to load pages, ESPECIALLY if I try to open more then one page at a time. Again, this is the only site that is having this issue of all the ones I frequent...including about 6 other message boards....2 of which have much more liberal rules about animated gif in avatars and sigs, let alone throughout the posts.
If your need help running some differerent test from different platforms let me know...
