Yup - slow and getting slower......

And slower...

but why?

I looked at the licence a few months ago. I really can't be bothered doing it again but I think its has less than a year to run. Given that Ron, bought-was given from Poundbury on the demiss of the magazine and has not been on here for maybe two years, you can draw your own conclusions. (Val, Paz etc of the Poundbury staff, I believe are gone, (Great hotel room booking site though Ron.....or maybe not). Anyway, this forum is now a complete waste of time for me so logging off, deleting e-mail ping and goodbye.

Best Wishes

CB.

ps, not going to but there is the temptation to use the f word or even promote the Scunthorpe problem.

Bye, bye, bye.

Easily the slowest site that I load,

I agree with Capo Boi.....it looks like the hamster in the wheel at the Italy Mag offices must have died as nobody is there to feed him...the slowest site I have ever come across (even with my 10 meg service when in the UK)....obviously Admin can't be ars3d to do anything about it as they are as slow as the site is ; if they exist at all...  

It is the latency really that kills it for me.

Shame there are some really nice peeps here.

Anyone know of other good forums?

Glad it’s not just me!  I asked the same question here.  On that particular day, the site was running so slow, it wouldn’t even let me start a new thread!

It’s a shame that the forum will soon disappear. I’ve found some very useful and valuable information here.  So big thanks to everyone for sharing 

I'm sure it has got faster today ?

S

No it hasn't; just that Ronald has switched the lights of in the Office it appears quicker...

I had no idea Scunthorpe had such problems.

site is definately faster for today...

Yep - definitely faster, despite my rural broadband speeds.  I have to say that I've been put off visiting the site due to slow speeds.  Would be a shame if it disappeared altogether

...definitely faster today. I've abandoned the "watching the grass grow" attitude while waiting for it to load

Running much better now bravo!

t'other day (8th) I did think something had happened !

The thing is what have 'they' done, why havn't 'they' told us, why no contact at all before or after the go slow?

S

No-one here is worthy of an answer from Admin.

Agreed !!

For sure the site loads mega times better than it did 'last week'. Good. But the contemt has not improved (which is down to the users)

Not meaning to be funny, but as a relatively new user, what did 'admin' used to do that we should miss them? I like reading what the rank and file have to say and did not know that there was a 'higher echelon' of management who have gone. As for slowness of loading... I just switch to another window to pass the time. Or maybe look out the actual window! Piano piano is a motto one needs to adapt in this area anyway. 

If this forum goes......... where else do folks visit?

It is a bit of a pain when a forum closes down suddenly, not only do you lose all the useful archive postings but lots of friends too.
