    What's up with the slow connection to this site? Is this site getting hammered with traffic? I'm on an OC-3 and it takes a minute or two to load every time I click on link. Anyone else having issues? Maybe it's just me. ...

    Its not just you. I've had the same issue from work and from home. I assumed it was increased traffic to the site, but I have no idea. I'm sure Micah can enlighten us. :D

    I tried using the Girefox browser instead of Safari but it's still too slow. It took me about 10 minutes just to sign in and post this.

    Micah, make sure you are charging more for your advertisements in August and September. It seems like hurricane season is $$$ in your bank.

    you guys broke the web server... traffic is at an all time high...

    We just upgraded the server, so things should improve now... We may need to do another type of upgrade this evening, if server time is still slugish.

    Use Alt+F4. It refreshes faster. :)
