Is it just me or has the forum been running extremely sluggish?

[Big Joe Daddy]

Seems the problem has been on again, off again, but for the most part, the Fractal forum has never performed as efficiently as other sites I frequent. Sometimes I'll click a link to a page and it takes 30 seconds or more for the page to load. Anybody else?

yea, with a disclaimer that im behind Great Firewall of China, but been slower than usual.

I guess its gazillions of FW9 hungry people surfing/posting/downloading like mad!

 

[chris]

Anyone know why?

Massive downloading of Axe II V9 and MFC V2.15. Better now than earlier.

 

[Scott Peterson]

Word is the servers are groaning by demand and concurrent downloads of MFC 2.15 and FW 9.00.

 

[Cobrango]

I'll take some of the credit, maybe like 1/gazillionth of it, but at least it's something. I guess 1/gazillionth of an apology won't do it. In that case, I'm not even apologizing - oh I've been downloading fw 9.0 alright! oooooh yeah 8)

 

[Tone Control]

yes, often very very slow this week

 

[UnsungHeroGuitars]

It's definitely the slowest website I frequent... but probably one of the most rewarding in its way too

 

[maxdown]

It's probably due to the vast amount of crap I post! :roll

But - yes it's been a bit laggy this week ..... but actually as I write this it seems to have speeded up a bit

So why did I write this??

 

[bkrodgers]

Seems to happen every time a new firmware is released.

 

[Xrocker]

Yeah,it's real slow. Did something happen?

 

[bobby_g]

Yes, FW9 was released & everyone's posting how awesome it is, not to mention a vast majority are no doubt checking for AxeEdit update. Scott mentioned the answer above.

It's a new forum feature. Negative comments, forum slows down, postive comments, forum speeds up. Posts containing "WTF" in the title, like pulling the e-brake going uphill
