it's down to a crawl for me. we are getting hit constantly by spammers again.
Today was a lot slower for me here in northern Ca, too.
been slow a few days now for me.
It has been slow here for a few days in the U.K. but this morning it is down to a crawl.
for me too! >:(
Same here unfortunately.
same hear in york north yorkshire England
Real slow yesterday, not bad now.
It is not as quick as normaly but not bad.
Crawling for 4 days in Fl.
Super slow now, I think some spammers/hackers need some broken fingers.
It's slow up here in N.Y. also But darned good reading.
slooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow in my neck of the woods.
Bit like the Foxtrot here now,slow,slow quick,q-----------------------.
Rather slow for a couple of days... in Finland
Did anyone notice we got over 1900 members today?
Movin' much better this evening. :) :) :)
spent yesterday clearing out 50 pages of spam/bot hits. what a mess. i have been banning individual ip address, one at a time. it makes the task a little easier every day. i think we have reached a standoff.
Very slooooooooow here in the NE today, I actually lost patience and logged out a few times. :-\
very very slow also in the U.K. tonight.
in my neck of the woods too... >:(
Very, very slow again........
as a new member I noticed it but just thought it was normal. That is a real shame.
i went through 20 pages of spammers today. been doing the same thing every day for the last 2 weeks. >:(
Smokin this morning.......
just spoke to godaddy. yes we have unlmited bandwidth, meaning an unlimited amount of data can be uploaded or downloaded, but it is through a "small pipe." it's an old service. we will be switched over to "grid" hosting which is supposed to be a faster service, or a "larger" pipe. the changes will take effect over the next 24 hours. we shall see how much of an effect this has. the next level, if we stay with godaddy, is a dedicated server, which is $800-2,000 per year. let's hope this grid thing works........ :-\
Very good!
Lets hope it gets better, I can hardly get on tonight :-\. Let us know what our share is, you shouldn't be paying for the upgrade.
remember, we do not have to stay with godaddy. there are other hosting services that offer dedicated servers. like so many other things, it is just a matter of money.

There are close to 2,000 members that log in daily. Since you do not advertise, each member could chip in $5....small price to pay for this great site.
This would generate $10,000, that should get you the best of whatever is available out there.....just a thought :-\
I agree with sal. A small fee would give you the funds to update/block or do whatever will make it easier for you. With all the help you have given us it's the least we could do.
I can live without the Avatar. Whatever they did seems to have helped. It is the fastest that it has been in a long time for me this morning.
ok, figured it out. the avatar and photo links are pointed to the wrong server. i just need to figure out what the proper server address is. that should take care of it. gotta get some stuff shipped out today. it will have to be this evening when tackle this. and yeah, it seems faster.
way faster last night and today. seems faster then before if that sounds logical
definitely faster. ;D
