Your forum has to be the slowest loading forum I've ever tried to visit. The main index page never completely loaded before I clicked a link into the forum. The forum took 5 minutes to show me anything at all and never did completely load the footer. I tried to access a thread and after another 5 minutes just gave up. It seems like you have an active community so maybe there is some network congestion between your site and me. If not then you should be looking into adding a server or upgrading the one your on.

Yea, the server had some problems and was under attack..

Was going to take a look until a pop-up advertisement on your site crashed firefox :down:

First off, pop-up's are a sure way to keep everyone away from your site... big NO NO

Second the main page is full of slow loading images, another NO NO

Basically you are limiting your user potential to high speed users only which is only about half of the people surfing the net.

Here are your loading times.

Ask yourself this? Would you wait 14 seconds for a page to load or go to one that loads in 3 seconds?
