Try clearing your temp internet files. Are you on dial up?
 
Guys we are working on the servers, for next weekend the servers should be good to go, sorry for the inconvenience.

We're within 500 of the record for posters\lurkers, so that's surely part of it. Speed seem to be much better now.

Well yeah, it's quick now.

I'm sure it wasn't a coincedance that after I posted the thread and around the time the admin chimed in things became swift.

Thanks for working on it people, it was some ridiculous shit there for a bit.

And FYI deleted temp int files will do nothing but slow down a connection to a website. They're there to cache content so only new content needs to be downloaded from a website the next time you visit. So they're there to actually help you. Wiping them off will only slightly (practically unnoticeably) increase your computer speed because they use a little RAM, but most computers nowadays have so much it hardly changes anything. Unless you're using some big ass ugly looking thing from 1992. That doesn't have to do with speed of connection to website anyways, just the browsers initial load.

Yeah, I know shit motherfuckers.

No.

Wikipedia is a user created and edited website that lacks in reliable and accurate information. Anybody with an internet connection can edit and change articles which make most of the content biased and/or innacurate. This is why if you were to write any collegiete or higher learning paper and list wikipedia in your works cited or sources you would be deemed as having down syndrome.

Take it only for what it is and not all-knowing.

Oh, and you're a fucking moron. They agree with me:

"Temporary Internet Files is a directory on Microsoft Windows computer systems. The directory is used by Internet Explorer to cache pages on websites visited by the user. This allows such websites to load quicker the next time they are visited."

So I'm not sure why you would post that.

The trouble is, as I'm sure you are aware, when the Temp files get too full IE wastes more time searching the temp files to see if it needs to download a new copy of that particular file...if you are on cable no need to have temp files higher than 200mb but most people will leave it at the default which is a percentage of your hard drive...some people will have 2gb of temp files...if Windows has to search through two gigs of dog porn to find the RX banner it may or may not have to download, it's gonna slow things down.

Which is why I said it's correlated to your RAM. Personally I could look at all the dog porn in the world and then maybe a little dolphin fucking and deleting my temp will do nothing. Maybe I overestimate the rigs that some of you are surfing on, or perhaps the copious amounts of beastiality. Either way, even on relatively new rigs deleteing temp int files shouldn't be a noticeable difference and certainly not the reason why the Rx has been slow as balls every Sunday at important times which is what the Mods are trying to play it as.

"Just delete your temp int" is the message I'm getting.

Bullshit. Your server sucks.

But yeah, I'm gonna go watch football now. Later lovers.
