This place is SLOWWWwww
I am on 22mbs internet connection.
The forum always loads really SLOW.
No other issues with the rest of the sites, just here.
Just a heads up is all…
Thanks Bill

16 Aug 2010, 2:53 amCould you please try loading this URL? http://freewaypro.com/counter2
I have a theory here, and if you can see this page load quickly, then I’ll have to move on to a different theory. But if this page stalls for you as well, I will have confirmation of my theory and we can proceed to fix it for you.

I’d like to narrow this down, because what you describe is completely not what I see here or Dan sees.
Can you see this script, and does it load quickly? http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/prototype/1.6/prototype.js

16 Aug 2010, 6:43 pmIt “WAS” slow. From the main page clicking on a topic like Off Topic, it was slow.
Coming in now it was quite fast.

16 Aug 2010, 6:51 pmThe next time it stalls, see if you can see FreeCounter. If not, then that’s the problem. I’m going to have to carve out a couple of days and migrate FreeCounter (and all my other sites still on TextDrive’s creaky old Alberni) to a Joyent Smart Machine. Those stay running for years at a time, and don’t suffer the sorts of problems born of “Other People’s Sites on a shared server” that Alberni does.
