So sloooooow

Tepelus · Nov 28, 2011

Maybe I'm the only one having the problem today, but AW seems to be dragging ass. It's taking forever to open a page I click on in the forums. It started only today. I emptied my cache and cookies and all that, but that didn't help. Everything else on my computer is at normal speed. Anyone else having these issues?

alleycat · Nov 28, 2011

Others have reported the site as being slow as well.

MacAllister · Nov 28, 2011

It's not just you, it's lagging pretty badly for me, too. As best I can figure, we're experiencing some slow-downs at the host, actually -- but we're working on it.

I think the whole interzone is slow today. Cyber Monday shopping???

Tepelus · Nov 28, 2011

Phew! Glad it's not just me.

Hadn't considered that, but maybe so.

Of course, what do I know?

Alessandra Kelley · Nov 28, 2011

I figured Cyber Monday, but then I'm known to jump to conclusions.

Everywhere I went on the net today was waaaaay slower than usual.

LilGreenBookworm · Nov 28, 2011

Mine's been lagging since I joined...

parumpdragon · Nov 28, 2011

Oddly the rest of the net has been normal speed for me. So I have been checking email, FB, and writing scenes in between letting AW pages load.

Caitlin Black · Nov 28, 2011

Yeah, the rest of the internet seems to be running fine for me...

MaryMumsy · Nov 28, 2011

Slow as molasses in Minnesota in January for me. I'm playing spider solitaire while waiting for pages to load. Just on AW.

kuwisdelu · Nov 28, 2011

Ridiculously slow for me too. Tried speedtest.net to see if it was me, but my connection was even faster than normal today.

mscelina · Nov 28, 2011

AW has been progressively getting slower for me, and because this is the only slow site I frequent the drag seems much longer than it probably is. But, I'm not used to waiting a minute for AW to load. This is wreaking havoc on my blood pressure.

Same here. It's just the AW site.

CACTUSWENDY · Nov 28, 2011

Ditto.

The Lonely One · Nov 28, 2011

I'm having flashbacks.

The Lonely One · Nov 28, 2011

Horrible horrible flashbacks right now.

areteus · Nov 29, 2011

Yep, slow here too - all yesterday and today. Other sites normal. I was wondering if there was not some form of DOS attack occuring.

Tepelus · Nov 29, 2011

AW seems to be moving along much faster this morning for me. Hopefully it stays like this.

Have you tried swearing at the intertubes?

Still, it's reassuring to know it's not just me, or something I've done to the site.

Or jiggling the intertubes wires? Jiggling the wires usually works for me.

scarletpeaches · Nov 29, 2011

Maybe if we all jiggle and swear at the same time?

Three...

Two...

One...

JIGGLESWEAR!

Anyone else who would have made this comment wouldn't have sent my mind the places it did knowing it was you who made it.

It seems to have worked all the same!

parumpdragon · Nov 29, 2011

Yay - AW is now fine.

*But Twitter and Photobucket are down

The Lonely One · Nov 29, 2011

That's odd. Why did the image disappear on my post?

Oh well yay for the forum being up.
