Same here, at one point it was so bad the site had all but disappeared, and I got redirected to walmart.com of all places :) (thanks AT&T)

For the past couple of weeks, the site has been excruciatingly slow. I can usually access 1-2 links, and then everything just times out.

Is there a fix in place?

Past couple of days it seems to be working better for me around the same time it use to lag. Knock on wood.

Lag for me at the same time. Back online before 3 pm now though, so less than an hour out.

Buggy again tonight. 22:00-22:50 EST. Not sure if this will post. Miserable.

Have the admins addressed this problem? I've seen this happen on a few other forums and it was a server issue. They eventually solved the problem.

Doesn't look like the problem has been addressed as it is still there. But at least Frankie - B and Powerful Pete have chimed in so it appears they now know of the issue. Hopefully Frankie will be able to investigate it some more and figure out what is going on and hopefully fix it.

Yep, this post was blocked and an error message followed, but I'll keep trying for a bit.

I've tried posting several times and this error prompt keeps blocking its follow through. I'm not sure this post will even make it. This and other problems, particularly the slowness don't seem to be addressed. Often times I just give up on the forum, or am force to quit as I'm given an error message.

It would be greatly appreciated if the admins could give us an update on these matters.

The site has been pretty much non-existent for me the past few days. It has started to work since this morning, but I keep getting the 'General Error' page citing max user limit every 5 to 10 minutes when attempting to move to another link. Just like right now. It took about 10 attempts to post this message.

Admin. Mods. Any updates you can give. Are there steps in place to fix the recent issues? Have they been dealt with and fixed? Is this forum still going to be supported, or is it time to start looking elsewhere? This forum has been a great community, but recently has been insufferable.

Yesterday I have emailed the site host in Germany, today i will call them. We hate the current state of the forum as much as you do.

By all means, please take some time and look elsewhere if you can't find what you are looking for on here.
