Sorry for the double post...but gawd....this here site be dang slow! lol Using the search function in the galleries is a nightmare, literally.

What database backend does this site run on? ASP/sql? PHP/mysql? Something else? If it's ASP, there's your answer to the slowness, lol. I keep hearing asp is slow on high volume sites (go Microsoft! not...)

Maybe the site needs an upgrade or something, like bandwidth, new computers, or a new host or something. Maybe the web site itself, the forum code used on the site looks kinda out-dated too, how about upgrading to something like UBB, or Invision Power Board, or the free and excellent PHPBB? Because I've always experienced general site slowness, but lately it is horrible.

Look, I'm not complaining, I know the site is free and stuff, I'm just sharing info in hopes that it could be of some use to help solve this problem, and yes it is a problem, because the slowness might deter visitors to the site from becoming new regular visitors, and might even make some people leave for greener pastures.
