It has nothing to do with bandwdith/network capacity - the bottleneck is disk I/O and the fact that the forums are on 7200 RPM IDE Drives and since they are not scsi they cannot do concurrent reads which means sometimes bottlenecking occurs when searches are done on terms that have a relatively broad scope... Once that bottlenecking starts it could take a few minutes for the database to recover and spit out the threads you've requested to view or bring up the reply page, etc.
SCSI drives will come - but not yet. If you had been here near the end of 2001 you'd understand what the definition of slow forums were - a lot worse than what happens now intermittently.

I think this place is wonderful. I love it (and Swamper )and I won't complain, no matter how slow or fast it is, it is the community that is important. This is the best forum on the whole internet.

Back when we had a page to apologise for slow speeds, hehe, saying dont refresh etc
Well hopefully the scsi prob can be sorted soon, maybe someone can donate swamper some
But the forums seem to be working just fine 95% of the time, so im happy

Yeah, they are slow at times now but other times in TA's history it has been much much worse. Just be happy the forums actually work...even if they are slow at times.
