horrible for the past 4 days -- incredibly slow. taking over 6 minutes to do anything in the forums. no issues with the other parts of the site. doesn't seem to matter what I use: Safari, Chrome, IE, Firefox. has to be an issue with the site.
Someone know if any changes have occurred since that spam starting getting through -- either the spam overloading the server or someone trying to block the spam which ended up making things more difficult for everyone?
