As the title says the forum has been very slow loading and for posting for the past few hours. At times it has felt like we were back on dial-up internet with a squealing modem! ------------- Is it any wonder that the monkey's confused? |

^ Agreed. Last few days even. The speed of the forum is bad enough that it will deter use for those experiencing it. ------------- ...that moment you realize you like "Mob Rules" better than "Heaven and Hell" |

| The forum has been agonisingly slow for at least the last 36 hours. M@X mentioned a few days ago in the https://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=134492&PID=6176228#6176228" rel="nofollow - 'Blocked' thread that he'd activated multiple bots protection from CloudFlare. It might well be something to do with that, since the forum is experiencing huge numbers of visitors just lately (2028 active users online as I'm writing this, and 4458 yesterday at 06:29, which was the highest number ever). If these users are all being monitored in real time by these new CloudFlare systems then it's probably little wonder the forum is slow. |

Yeah, the forum is slower than a snail's funeral cortege today.

| Since at least yesterday it has been as slow as a turtle-sized snail being hauled by a snail-sized turtle through a morass of molasses. It is working faster for me now, albeit still slow, rather like a largely incapacitated sloth carefully making its way way down its tree for a poo as they are wont to do. The sloth made it safely to the ground and up the tree again, so no worries there. |

^ Did the sloth bag its poo and place it in a designated poo disposal bin, as it's supposed to do?...Or bag it, take it back up the tree, and hang it from a branch, like many dog owners seem to do these days.

^ Well, it's not from your end. I assume you mean the forum being slow and not the poop. ^^ It just left its weekly pile at the base of the tree as usual. I really dislike that with various dog-owners. I live on a corner lot with considerable sidewalk on two sides of the property. The municipality expects me to keep the areas bordering the sidewalk neat and tidy (I mow the grass, trim the trees and hedge...), and the sidewalks free of snow, but I have had to retrieve several bags of poop that were left hanging in the trees for days. Maybe just forgot about them. Still better than the times when people did not clean up after their dogs at all as used to happen with one lady who would walk her dog. She moved away soon after. I also have found bags of poop thrown into the bushes. The older I get the more Draconian I become, i would like to see more serious penalties for everything from littering to violent crime. Maybe I'll move to Singapore. |
