Website very slow - what's your platform?

[cjmarsh81]

This site has always been so, I am on 128K ISDN. It is well worth the wait though.

I am on a Telstra 1.5meg ADSL, 6 seconds to refresh the page for me

The IIS forums are some what of slow to load threads when compared to other vBulletin forums, but there isnt much in it. I visit a few forums and this is only a little slower than aveage. Mojo could always add something like this hack if he was worried about page load times. Then again hacks arent always good!

Takes ~5 seconds to load at work (2/2mbit connection) and at home (1500/256 Internode).

I keep getting this message today for some strange reason. Never seen it before.

There seems to have been a slight problem with the database.

Looks like there's either a DB error or the host ran out of disk space. I got about 300 forum-related emails from the forum system. Will let you know.

Seems to be ok now though. Was bad for around an hour and now it has stopped.
