I love this board. I’d hate to leave it. Many people have complained about the slowness. It’s 8:05 AM now and I still have to wait forever. I simply don’t understand the technical difficulties. IMDb has thousands of members. Often posting at the same time. What’s the difference with them and this board? Both are free. I haven’t enough time to wait for minutes to load a page. ☹ Wishing you the best. [I guess ordering a T-shirt didn’t help much, huh?] Hoping things will get better and thank you for the fun times. käse. ---

I think IMDb has ads all over the site. Anyway, sorry to see you go (I just got here!). Take care. ---

I got here a month before **LolaBaby** , and I’m equally as sorry to see you go, **käse**. Take care of yourself, and hope to see you again sometime in the future. ---

käse - IMDb probably has a more powerful server. I’ll be sorry to see you go. This is the kind of thread that should probably go in MPSIMS, so I’ll move it there. ---

Why leave?? Just have a look every now and then and see has the situation improved. The site is very slow some of the time but other times it’s like a rocket. If the site is slow go of and do something else, when it’s working do what you do here. I don’t see the reason in totally leaving something you say you enjoy just because it’s not working very well. The site does work well sometimes. Oh well. Have a good one. ---

I’m sure the IMDb has MANY servers… I’d guess 20-30… to handle their load. Google, for example, has hundreds, spread in many cities. ---
