Site Slowdown?

The site is almost unusable for me. None of the other forums I read are this slow. If anybody has a cure please tell me . This is one of my favorite forums but at times I just give up and move on because it locks up.

Ditto

Just about unusable is a very good description...

Yes he has been working on the email situation for quite some time and from what I'm told that was due to hackers. Not sure if this slowdown is the same cause though.

painfully slow. it seems like CCFan has more host problems than any other forum i visit, it's not available on tapatalk (iphone). i'm absolutely not taking anything away from keith or anyone else administering, i'm sure it a ton of work with little reward.

i'd be more than willing to contribute by paying a subscription fee to bring this website out of the dark ages. on most of the other sites i visit, there are benefits for paying members.

Perhaps he is just trying to keep it nostalgic, like smoke signals and chiseling messages in rock.

It's like the 286 of forums, lol

That's exactly what I was thinking the problem must be....

Wow!! We found someone who might be able to help Keith out.

I sent Keith an email offering my help and analysis, it's the least I can do as I'm always on the site and thankful it's around.

     Seems a little better tonight...not like it used to be, but better. I hesitated to raise the issue the last week or two as I'm not one to complain and had some doubts when noone else brought it up. Had to private message my brother for another opinion. Obviously there were a great number of us out here "suffering in silence".

I'll kick in for the gauze pads, and 3-in-1 oil.

I have a feeling and maybe Keith will confirm that the slowdown has something to do with the sites anti spam. Since the speed went back to "normal", there has been plenty of spam postings.

Mr. Mom, right?
