It's always slow. However, somedays it's even slower. I've thought that it had something to do with the number of people posting at the time, but it varies so much that I've ruled that excuse out. I still think they should purge the site of posts more than 1 to 2 years old. They should also delete galleries of those who have been inactive on this site for 6 months or more. They should also lower both the dimensions and file size of the images allowed to be posted in the gallery. Plus they could get rid of "who's online". Doing those things would take a great deal of pressure of the servers that run these boards.

"It is good to see ourselves as others see us. Try as we may, we are never
able to know ourselves fully as we are, especially the evil side of us.
This we can do only if we are not angry with our critics but will take in good
heart whatever they might have to say." - Ghandi
