Monday
Was on 3 different times today, so far.
Maybe there was 2-3 page screen changes that were peppy. Other then those 2-3, everything was sloooow. Even had some "connection resets".

I will be glad when the geeks figure it out. I think the slowness could be causing some visitors not to get involved here.
I was told getting my beauty sleep was a waste of time.

It is slow like that today (Tuesday) at 12:36PM EST. I would click a topic, go and read at another site, come back after reading several posts elsewhere and it was just finishing loading.

Kinda mixed right now. Generally slow. Some actions are peppy.

Been real peppy for a good number of days.
Could not get in earlier this AM.
A bit sluggish now.
Hope the speed comes back.

I have no idea what time it was earlier today, but I couldn't get in at all, and the chat display on the front page was showing a SQL error. So it seems they are still having issues with their SQL. How long can it take to fix that? #-o

Pretty slow this evening as well. Timed out a couple of times.

I must admit that I now expect the board to be so slow that I won't/can't wait for it. It's almost as if we need a backup board for the backup board.
I agree with Rileysowner, how long can it take to get a problem resolved? The hosting guys are certainly not gaining any goodwill from me.
I think it's time to move AstroSafariVans elsewhere.
