Why is FR the slowest I visit? I have almost quit coming here, not that anyone cares, due to slow loading of a TEXT forum . Is it being ran through a government server?

Increase in traffic?
Slow ISP at their end?
Database needs re-indexing?
One or more servers getting hardware storage errors?
A windows system needs defragging?
One or more faulty memory modules in one or more servers?
A raid controller board throwing errors?

Loading fine for me.
May be the internet backbone in your area, if there is a slow section between you and the FR servers it will load slow for you.

Maybe it’s the only website you visit that isn’t government-funded?

There’s probably a Turbo button somewhere on your computer.

It loads fine for me. Maybe it’s because I’m not a whiner.

Probably because Mrs. Piper is in the other room downloading porn.

Or it could be Sidebar haunting yuo from beyond the grave.
Or maybe I Am Not A Mod discovered that duct taped shut box in the corner with the neato toys that we were hoping to hide from them.
Or maybe the kitties chewed on the cords again.
I dunno, I’m just tossing stuff out there and seeing what is plausible.

(1) Donation funded = less $$$$$ = less horsepower = slower.

(2) HUGE user base.

(3) (Suposition, but verified on occasion): Under nearly constant attack by leftist hackers.

So yeah, it’s a bit slow at times. But understandably! And well worth it! Want to help? Give a little to address (1)!

In all honesty, it would be great if Jim or John looked into cloud-based infrastructure like Amazon Web Services.

I have migrated my company’s infrastructure to be entirely hosted from Amazon Web Services (and spread out the technology using their database hosting, their Simple Storage Service, and their on-demand computing instances) and it’s been a godsend. No more worrying about hardware or downtime (though the possibility exists, it’s out of my control). Plus, I can set it up to scale up and scale down as demand hits, to automatically add servers and shut them down after a traffic spike (I’ll soon implement Amazon Auto Scaling to add a number of “servers” each day during my company’s morning rush and release them in the early afternoon).
