I'd probably have about 8-10 times the number of posts in the past two or three weeks, but the forums here have been so slow lately, to the point where pages are taking up to a minute or longer just to load. What is the deal??

I ran a database maintenance script yesterday.

Is it better now?

It's super fast now.

Seems better (FAST, so far..)

Yeah, now that the forums are faster, let's try to boost ABT.

That is.. PLEASE create new threads upon any topics that you like to talk about. If you see anything interested, please share them here.

It's a bit depressing to see ABT, a place that I love, be so lonely at times. I'm not employed by ABT or even a family member of any of the staff members, but I care very much about Mark Poppin's cool site and ideals, especially after the amount of work that he has put into doing hardware reviews for all of us.

I'm leaving for the Xmas holidays (for about 2 weeks) and I won't be able to contribute much to the fourms for some of the days.

Please, your help would be very much appreciated!! Please!!! Not to pressure you any, but please don't forget to "feel free" to write articles for ABT - it's not that hard, really (yeah, I know I only did it once.. but I'll try to do more).

Merry Xmas you guys!

Yes it does seem to be way more responsive. Thank you! It had been so slow the past few weeks.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year everyone

What's up with the site recently? It's running like a paralyzed slug at present.

Yeah same here.The Main site is fine but the forums seem to be running super slow.

I'll run a database check on the forum sql

OK thx
