A member PM'ed me today to let me know that this website has been performing slowly lately--I'm wondering whether other people have been feeling the same way?

Please let me know, thanks!

Other similar websites are much slow than btG.

But maybe, the site might have become slower than earlier time, because of heavy traffic and constant additions to new posts. I am not sure about this since I seldom visit forums lately. Confused

Eric! Dnt mind I am interfering here! To me, this site works fine. But I generally use office connection not any domestic dial-up or broadband connection. May be that member(Who has PMed u) is having some problem with the connection! Crying or Very sad Very Happy

Thanks for the comments--yeah, unfortunately it's pretty much a requirement to have a broadband connection to use this site. Seems to be a requirement with other websites though, more and more...

I dont its a requirement. I bbrowse the net from the rural area of a developing country. & let me tell you I have a pathetic dial-up connection. Still I dont feel this site slow or soomething.
In fact the USP of this site is simplicity.

btw this is aim-wsc here & you know well how much time I have spent on the site to be eligible to write review here!

Thanks for the feedback Johny! I'm glad that the browsing experience on dial up isn't too bad.

How are people feeling about the speed of this website these days? I think we may need to upgrade servers soon to handle all the bandwidth we're getting. Smile

Perhaps it is because too many people visit the site
