Why is this site so slow??

[FoCaL]

Help me out here guys, I havent been here too long but this is one of the slowest forums I been on in a while. Im talking bandwidth wise not # of posts or anything like that. Whoever is in charge of hosting this site give me a call, my buddy own a hosting company and I get a hookup for you ... sometime this site is rediculaously slow .. am I the only one that think this??

Yeah I've noticed a slowdown in bandwith, and in posts as well.

yeah, it can be really slow at times, but you have to figure the database this thing is lugging around... I'm not sure if west used the mySQL database or the proprietary one, but one thing is for certain, there will only be more and more threads.

Sure it's slow, but zilvia is a great resource, never look a gift 240 in the mouth <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'> hehee

Its been slow as all hell all day. I highly doubt west has bandwidth problems though.
