Nope........its happening out here on the "right coast" too. And its not just a US thing (ie Fussy's having the prob too). At first I thought it had something to do with the "worm" thats going around, but its only happening on here for me also.
(Edit) Its getting better though! Its only taking 15-25 seconds to load the page instead of 1-2 minutes. I think (and I'm speaking for myself here) that we may be a little spoiled by how efficiantly Chucky's board has always ran.

yes, my webhost Saturday posted a notice about the worm affecting their network.. the site doesn't have it because I don't run Microsoft software on my server. I like it to stay running for more than two hours without rebooting, so I run Linux. I actually had a bug with creating a new site for a friend, because the site hadn't been reset in over 270 days.  

The problem is that this new bug causes infected servers to flood Internet providers with extra traffic, so it doesn't take much to cause things to run slowly. It's certainly better today, and I'm sure in a couple more days things will return to normal. If it doesn't, I'll spend some time checking out the server performance just to be safe.

Hey Chucky,My wrestling messageboard was having the same problem.It too was slow as maple syrup and the moderator the next day got a faster CPU.which makes the page come up even faster.

I tried rebooting the server earlier today to see if it would resolve some of the issues we were having.. turns out I had something installed that shouldn't have been, and it prevented the board from coming back online.. my provider resolved things for me, and it looks like all is back to normal.. sorry about the lack of a site for a few hours there...

From a guy with a lousy pentium 133 and a 56k dial-up...Thanks Chucky...the site is running faster now than it was when I joined almost a year ago ;)

As a guest here that comes on occassionally, I too have been noticing how slow the changes from one screen to another has been getting. It had been bought to my attention by a board member but I assumed as how I was also downloading from Kazaa, that this was part of the problem. But now even as I peruse the board as I write this, it is noticeable how slow page changes are. Whoever this Zella woman is , she speaks the truth. :)             Hi zee

well.. the pages aren't loading slowly anymore.. so if you're still seeing this issue, it is Kaaza..

Hi Chuck,

Are you updating the boards or Amiright?  Because there are bursts of quick speed and then periods where you can't even access Amiright or the messageboards, it's really peculiar.

Just wondering, thanks.

nope.. probably just heavy server load.. I did a reboot of the server yesterday morning, which seemed to speed things up a bit.. but otherwise things appear to be normal.. I checked the site a couple times around 5 yesterday and didn't notice anything unusual.

Quoting:
What are you talking about? The board seems 2 be running just fine now.
