After signing up for the forums i've noticed they've been slower then most forums i've been on and sometimes I get "Overload" messages when trying to get on... I know its not Google Chrome (What I am using) because I tried it on other browsers (highly doubt it my computer speed/internet speed). Also tried it at other houses and such and they are slow.

Idk what you could do besides removing a few pointless things (Maybe like the Arcade) or something of that effect. Its not a major problem but it is annoying when trying to log in and I have to wait a minute.

Yeah its slow for me alot. Just got the overload message the other night and thought maybe there was so many people online but there was like 3.

It's probably ran from a home computer. i get that too.

Not much I can do about it, sadly. Possibly some people have a lower quality internet connection? Though that's doubtful since mostly everyone has upgraded by now.
I'll look into what I could do. Not sure if there is much though.

And the overload thing is the forum host's fault. They host a few hundred thousand forums, so occasionally if there is a lot of traffic on their servers, the site could go down for a minute or 2.

I've had the asme problem. Figured it was my computers fault so I didn't say anything.

Yea, I know phpBB goes down sometimes but i've been on other ones and they seemed to be ok, fast. Maybe its your domain/web space hoster (space and such) but Idk..

PhpBB is just the scripting language that the bulletin board was written in and has little to do with forum stability. Typically if I get that overload message, the page comes up after waiting a few seconds and refreshing.

Its the host, softlayer.com this is probably on a dedicated or in worst case shared box with 100's of other sites, contact your provider be it a guy u know or softlayer.com and complain about performance, I work for a hosting company and this does not get even close to the ammount of traffic to be performing like this. It may however be the phpbb junk also.

thats what happens when the Forum is POPPIN' SON! I dont know how many hits you were getting before, but now it's gaining more people everyday.

lol. My spat on c3 is directing traffic here....

I see well stop spatting I cant read topics lol.

I've never had an issue with slow loads or overload.

me either

I did just get my first forum overload message, but it disappeared on refresh.

lol same here.

Yeah, they tend to disappear when you refresh. It's not a problem at all to me, especially since I'm on other websites when I'm on this one, so I just switch back and forth.

Overload doesn't bother me too much. Its just being slow that does.

Right now its superfast. I click something loads instantly other times it will take 30-1minute to load. Which is too long for the speed of my computer/internet.
