    Despite removing the red and then orange banners, this site has never been as fast since the move to the new servers.
    A case of money saving gone too far?

    Its prob becuase they have stuck the server on a ADSL line, the main bandwdith would have gone down and been hacked and the router needs resetting. The server guys would normally get a reboot of any hardware and transfer over to a new backbone within 4 hours. Well thats what I get at telehouse and redbus London.
    Kind Regards

    Apart from Rex's post the thread is of no use to the forum team at all. They have asked that you put your location and connection type/speeds on this type of post to help.

    Has the server been hacked?

    Terribly slow here, too. Other sites behave ok.
  • Hi guys,


    There are some issues with the servers at the providers end and they have their best people working on it. We're keeping up to date with them and hopefully we'll have it sorted shortly.

    Thanks for bearing with us.
