Is the site slow for anyone else?

Most of the other forums I post on load fairly fast but this place seems a lot slower than the other sites on the internet. Why is that? Has anyone else noticed?

I am going to assume the

I am going to assume the reason it is slower than other forums is that they are running their own server, and probably require more ram, but i experience the same thing, although at night around o 2 - 4 in the morning it's runs far faster. But that's just my guess as to why it's slow. Anyone else?

A lot of work is going on

A lot of work is going on to try to help on this front.  The new server is up and running and more software upgrades and changes are going into place that will hopefully speed things up considerable in the coming days.

I give you my personal promise that this site will be running stellar fast before the rapture hits.

The site isn't ram bound.

The site isn't ram bound. The older drupal has a lot of performance issues it would seem when you hit a certain level of popularity.

This version of drupal does

This version of drupal does not scale nearly as well as the version of drupal we will be migrating to. The newer version should be a crapton faster especially on the forums.

No, we're powered by Satan 6.16, we'll be upgrading to a customized super fast heathen version within a week or two.  Look out for Antichrist version 6.66 coming real soon.
