Is FDDTS running slow, or is it just me?

Man, this website is running painfully slow today, but all my other websites are running fine. Anybody else having trouble?

Bruce I have noticed some slowness here and there but at this very minute it's loading real quick for me. I attribute this to the unusually high traffic the site has been getting this month. 75% of the traffic is due to the Mechanical Aptitude test which is three quarters of a megabyte download every time someone takes it. This is heavy bandwidth use but things are still running. Besides, it's added exposure for the site and our supporters. /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/wink.gif

I've had several instances of slow downloads or refresh rates.... As far as I can see, it is the internet simply being the internet (and our computers being the unforgiving motherf@ckers they always have been).

I'm 4 blocks away from my ADSL gateway.... and it can take a long time for that porn clip..... I mean "movie vignette" to load and play....

I'm what you might call "chronologically challenged".... I can remember when we used to complain that people were slow.... now everyone can blame it on a slow "connection".... (Shit, I can remember when I didn't know what TV was...).

We don't suffer from a slow connection as we do from "modern anxieties".... pretty deep for a grade 8 drop out, huh?
