This has to be one of the slowest sites around right now..... What a joke!

Yes it is slow for sure. Just bought a new computer and most other sites zip along tres mucho fast... HBC is s.....l.....o.....w!!
"When you judge another you don't define them, you define yourself."
One thing I have noticed is during the day......the speed is not too bad although it is still a tad slow.
It seems like prior to and after the "usual" work day is when things get bogged down. Able to navigate today at noon relatively normally but compare that to last evening as an example and it was slow as molasses. This would tend to lead one to think that it is just the traffic that is bogging things down.
Not sure how the hosting works with vBulletin particularly with HBC as to whether Marc has it on a dedicated machine, Virtual Private Server or some other webhosting option but me thinks that where/however it is being hosted that the traffic has outgrown the capabilities of the current hosting format.
I know Marc isn't around too much these days but "if" Spink is still involved in the back end administration I dropped him a PM with a link to this thread.

Not the norm for this site for sure......brutal lately.
Seems to have improved
I try to check in on this site regularly but the slowness is brutal. 15 to 30 seconds to load a forum page... that's nuts. By contrast, it takes me 2 - 3 seconds to load a page on other "similar" sites.
Dig into it boys, something's screwed up in bit land.
If an animal is going to die so that I might live, the least I can do is perform the unsavoury deed myself.
Really slow this evening!
it's ridiculous really.
does nobody care?
why is there nothing being done to rectify this?
