Yeah, it's been a bit slow the past couple days, but in the past couple hours it seems it's gotten worse? It's now taking like a full minute to load any thread for me

It's funny that tgp was having these same issues and it's fixed but now its this site that is unusable

TFW the site is slow as fuck, but every banner video ad always loads first:

I swear it's getting worse and worse everyday. Does the website's server have a memory leak or something? I feel like I'm back to the dial up AOL days of the internet.

There's definitely something new going on. I keep seeing this loading screen thingie. At least it seems a little quicker today.

Anyone else having it ask them to verify that they're not a robot before accessing on mobile?
I just get the "we need to verify your connection" thing occasionally but it goes fairly quick. Overall the site seems be working more normally for me on mobile, I rarely view it on a computer.

It asked the first visit but seems to re verify that on each visit after. Weird.
It'll time out mid-visit and prevent you from making posts until you refresh and re-certify. I'm not sure which one is worse, the slow loading or this.

Same here on the verification thing. And everything's loading faster now BUT I was typing out a reply and "Oops error" pops up when I go to post. Then when I refresh, it prompts another verification step... again. Also spell check seems to randomly be working/ not working. I dunno... SSO is now burping up bugs despite that it seems back to speed today... urrg.

I suppose the past days the forum (or the server that host it) was somehow attacked by bots and slowed down
So now, with an antibot filter it works faster
