The site seems quite slow and unstable from here I am sitting. Takes a while to load, especially the front page. Sometimes it times out completely, other times it gives an 404 or 503 error message.

Appears to be a server problem, I am sure the admins are already on it

Ya I have the same problem, I only assumed it was maintenance and it's come back up again later. The guys who run this site are really good, so if it is an actual problem, I'm sure it'll be worked out pronto! We just have to be patient, and greatful to our amazing admins.

I'm on with the hosting guys now.  It is definitely slow this morning.

Ok.  So it appears that the server is under a DDOS attack.  The hosting guys moved it behind a packet filtering device which will make it slow for awhile until they can block the attack.  Go figure.

I'm guessing it will get fixed soon. Took me about 45 minutes to get to the point of posting this.

Being attacked by the same people who had "Silent Cheer Day" where parent couldn't cheer out loud for their kids, or the A Holes in California who wouldn't allow students to wear US flag shirts on Cinco De Mayo day because we might insult the illegal aliens who are hear sucking up my tax dollars, and it goes on and on!

Just curious, but what exactly is a DDOS attack.  I have no idea.

Short version, send so many requests to a server that it overloads and is unable to respond to them all...

I'm still getting uneven results. Sometimes I can get on quickly and then the next time I try it takes forever to load.

Ya and all the sudden I am getting pop up's sometimes when I try and switch pages. Paul will get it fixed im sure. He's the man.
I am not concerned about what you think as I can tell you don't do it often.

I used to be a people person, but then people ruined that for me.

havent had any pop ups but it seems slower now that im at home and not at work using the pc. ( home internet is faster than at work)

New server.  

Still some kinks to be ironed out, i.e., clicking on a member name to get their info.
