Why is this site so slow these days. Theres always a long lag for pages to load. It's not me. I'm on cable and every other website loads instantly.

I noticed the slow down right around the same time that those little flashing x-mas lights appeared on the logo up top. But I can't believe those little lights are really sucking that much juice from the site...

It has actually been a bit slow since the big "crash of 07"

I have tried to get the accelerator for UBB.classic to run but the board gets hung up on something.

Any hope of ever getting to something more modern? I know Ian toyed with vbulletin way back when and decided for whatever reasons to not upgrade... but it would be nice.

Any chance its a host issue?

Maybe its a sign of impending machine death.

I don't think it is a soon to be machine death as the headers and other non BBS stuff loads fast.

Okay I'm thinking there's something more insideous going on here. Every time I enter into the forums on this site, my virus software pops up on my screen with a warning. This only started today. I suggest you all scan your PCs immediately. If you're a Mac user... well aren't you just special. :p

Interesting, just got an anti virus pop up as well when I tried to access the 'What the hell' post.
"Nuche_org[1].htm" was grabbed by Norton as a downloader virus.

Yep I get "Autoprotect has blocked Downloader....your PC is secure...."

That is from AndrewH's post in that thread, his linked image is from some shithole site.

As for the speed of the site, I'll get together with Carlton and see if I can remember what causes the accelrator not to work correctly. It happened several years ago.
