I had been getting a number of emails lately that the forum was sometimes unreachable or very slow. I had checked my logfiles and they showed the server wasn't anywhere near it's full capacity so I figured it must be something with the transatlantic connection. However, today I too noticed the server was incredibly slow and I did some tests. I found out the server had problems with reverse name lookups (DNS doesn't respond) so I turned that feature off on my server. This speeded up things tremendously. If the server still is very slow for you, please let me know.

I hadn't noticed any particular problem. It does seem a little faster now though. (Could be the power of suggestion  )Could you let Bill Gates know what you did so he can fix msn.com... It's been a real dog lately...

No kiddin' about MSN. Glad it's not just me. I thought my crappy computer was to blame. Thanks for the "upgrade" Cliff!

I really hate to say this while everyone is thanking you Cliff but I still find the sight responds slow I even hit it at work with the T1 and I dont see any improvement there either. The pages load fine it just seems like the sight is real slow to respond to a hit.
Now im going to thankyou for the best forum ive ever seen of any kind. the layout is great, its easy to use, managed very well and it doesnt run amuck with potty mouths. very very nice place you have here Cliff and thanks again

Remember this site is in Holland (The Netherlands, whatever...) Quite a few "hops" to get across the pond for all us North American users.

Actually, depending on just where in north americal you are, getting to Cliff's site isn't that many hops differant + or - from many domestic sites. I've run the tracert on it a number of times now. It's 4-6 hops just getting off your local ISP. total it's 26 hops at the moment to Cliff. It's 21 to the border router at microsoft.
it's 16 to www.cnet.com
