1. Oh, good, I'm not the only one.

I thought God Skinner was punishing me again.

Oh, hell, at these speeds, I don't even know if this thing'll post...it might times out before then. :argh: x(

[RevolutionaryActs]

3. It's funny, it took 6 minutes for that damn post to.. post.

And now everything is fine? :shrug:

[ZombieNixon]

5. Well, it's still slow, but better than it was.

My instant DU gratification is behind schedule. x(

2. Yes. Probably a dozen people are trying to reply to you right now

So slow I flipped to CNN to see if Rove had finally been indicted.

6. To say it's painfully slow

Would be an understatement.

I'm getting ready to go pick up Bonehead from work...this MIGHT have posted by the time I get back.

Oh...and I keep getting error messages, too.

8. Damn it.

Did Romeo pee on the servers again? :shrug:

[reyd reid reed]

15. Well, hell...

I thought we had him trained...sheesh.

Now, where'd I put that newspaper?

10. Yeah. it's pretty crappy.

It'll pass though.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

11. It sure is!

It's making me crazy too.....

And tonight that does NOT take much!

I thought, that with all the computer upgrades, that we had put all that slowness behind us!

:shrug:

16. Well, with all the Rove shit going on...

I'm willing to bet there's an abnormally high level of traffic, a lot of people probably with multiple windows r tabs open at a time. Even the best servers can get bogged down from time to time. And with DU having pages updated on a constant basis, rather than just being static pages, it would presumably put even more strain on the server. I would think it's damn near impossible to have amessage board with people constantly posting, pages constantly changing, the server constantly updating files, and have it run smoothly 100% of the time.

At least that's how the situation looks to me. :hi:

12. It's been slow off and on for me for a few hours now.

In fact, I had to get off DU altogether, because when I tried to respond to your post it was taking FOREVER to load!
