Is it me, or has this board had more timeouts than a hyperactive 10 year old?

In the past hour it’s taken me between two and five minutes to get onto this site each time, and it’s timed out repeatedly. The instances of “select bookmark, go to Straight Dope Message Board page” have been the exception, not the rule.

Is it just me or has everyone been experiencing this?

I have. I think one of the gerbils might be on its way out.

Fixed that for you. (COLOR=SlateGray used in place of strikeouts.)

[del]What, the delete tag isn’t good enough for you?[/del]Why gray instead of strikethroughs?

Moved to ATMB. Also noting that whatever happened last night isn’t my fault because I was in bed long before midnight.

Hasn’t been timing out for me, but it has certainly been hanging frequently.

It’s not just you.

Didn’t see the delete tag in the list of vBulletin tags.

No problems here in dowtown Cleveland, fortunately.

I can’t tell if it’s here or my connection - I’ve been having timeouts all over the net, but it seems to be the worst here.

I don’t know about that.

I think it takes longer to load than a drunk stopping at every bar on the walk home.

Yes once again it’s being a bitch.

Stop that! Board performance has never been better. They’ve said so. Once free posting came along, and the servers were updated, and a current iteration of the software was in place, everything would be peachy. And it IS!

Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.
