(new thread started with permission from [TubaDiva](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=432776)) Suprisingly there hasn’t been any timeouts for me today, but that could be because I haven’t been here much today. Anyone experiencing timeouts today? ---

Some of this board’s posters are ass, too. ---

I have had problems. And I try not to rant or whine about it. Yesterday the board abruptly timed out. This morning it did too. Last night I tried to hit it at home and it just wouldn’t go to the website. Yet every other website I hit was working. This isn’t a rant or a whine. I’m just tired of hearing people say “It never times out; it must be just you.” This really isn’t a comment on EjsGirl whom I like a lot, but on people I have regularly seen in these kind of threads. **It’s not just one person.** It happens all the time! ---

It’s been mostly great for me today, with a few exceptions. Yesterday it was total ass. It was a fucking donkey convention. ---

I had problems late last night - pages would not load and would finally time-out. What the heck causes this? I know there can’t be that much going on here at 1 a.m. ---

I have problems accessing the board consistently. It doesn’t upset me that much, but it’s definitely common. ---

Slow day at the office, eh? You should try to be original next time, though; start a thread about transvestite midget porn or how toy poodles are responsible for the downfall of Soviet Communism. Stranger ---

Today good. Yesterday, ass-tastic. Totally suckerific. Mucho crappo. Stupefyingly shitty. Blew more goats than a bestiality convention. Sucked on HUGE, sweaty donkey balls. And so on. Did I mention that yesterday sucked? ---

Some problems, maybe once or twice yesterday, but today is fine. It happens, but it’s never bugged me as much as it seems to bother others. ---

Yeah, pretty sure I had a couple timeouts earlier this morning. It’s gotten so I hardly remember them anymore, it’s such a regular occurrence. It’s like not remembering if I closed the garage door in the morning, because I do it every day. ---

ARGH. Today is most certainly not fine. ---

Maybe the board would work faster if people didn’t continuosly post about how slow it is. ---

Some days are okay. Other days there are periods of 5 - 20 minutes where I’m blocked out. So far today I’ve hit one block that lasted about ten minutes. And I’m not on constantly, just constantly off and on. ---

thanks a fuck of a lot. Right after you posted this thread, I started to get time outs. _::taps foot angrily::_ So, you see, it’s **your** fault. ---

Yesterday was fine for me. Today it’s timed out a couple of times. Not a biggie though. All websites time out from time to time, especially as one as busy as the SDMB. ---
