I do believe we're under attack, friends.
I have broadband access & pages should show in under one second. It's taking up to ten seconds to post a page.

4. No attack - webhost problem.
That's the word from admins at this time. One of those things we have to wait for someone else to fix, unfortunately.

The Timing is not lost on me.

I live in newzealand, its taking ages just to load each page, I guess the repugs dont like free speech and are sending virus or something.

18. It has been happening more and more.
I don't know if we're under attack or not. If the problem is servers / bandwidth, maybe Skinner and co. need to have a special upgrading fundraiser. :shrug: I would contribute if I could.
