I'm wondering if anyone else is experiencing a major slowdown on the forums, yeah again.

For the past few days they've been almost unusable because pages won't load, and the only way to get some of them to load is to do a page refresh.

Not so far, touch wood, at this side of the world, so it may be at your side.

Please keep it there, it's a pain when it happens :)

I'm not having the problem either. Something must be happening over there. But, it sucks if it's happening to you.

It's been happening to me for years, that's the problem. It's random though, but still annoying.

I have been having problem loading threads with pics. The April Desktop thread for example. The first page of that thread loads very poorly and I can't see some of the pics.

If anyone posted images using ImageShack.us, and/or FreeImageHosting.net it wouldn't surprise me, they're both notoriously slow which is why I've deleted their bookmarks and won't use them again.

Some interesting reading you posted in those links, I looked at them all!

I don't know if it's an attack or just ISP problems. However the forums aren't anywhere near as slow as CastleCops is at the moment with the Firefox throbber constantly loads (the trobber is the upper-most right thing that animates when loading a site).
