Slow as Molasses in January

[Keht]

What's up with the epic slowness on these forums. I feel like I am on dialup again. I bet this is a busy site but... am I the only one with a problem?

Curious, is this site on one server, is there any load balancing? Perhaps its time to take some subscription fees and get into the could

I am sure this is not the first of this kind of post so don't kill me because I am too lazy to search..

In January? I'm confused.

Molasses already flows slowly. In January when it's freezing, it flows more slowly. It was part of the simile, not a comment on what time of year he is experiencing slowness.

Site runs great for me.

Considering the amount of traffic here, everything seems to run just fine for me. Sure, sometimes it is slow, or down, but that is the internet for you.

BTW, if you are really on dialup, it will be hours before you get this thread downloaded. Enjoy!!!

I don't have a problem and am only on a moderately fast DSL connection (not the slowest available, but not crazy fast, either).

Thanks everyone. It's not always slow, just some times.... Same issues on two separate internet connections. From a few searches on the internet on this issue it would appear that this is just the way it goes. That being the case, I will learn to live with it I guess....

oh, and thanks for explaining molasses in January

Site's been extremely slow for hours for me, now. Takes several minutes to load a page, and times out 2/3 of the time aside from that. No other website is acting like this.

The site has been ridiculously slow for me as well. It's been this was since late this afternoon. No other sites seem affected.

Interestingly enough, Is it Down - Check website status form this United States based server, you can confirm if a website is down or have any error reports that the site is working fine, but Down For Everyone Or Just Me -> Check if your website is down or up? reports that the site is down.
