Site lag?

Is any progress being made to speed this site up?

Yes, it is being worked. We are looking at several options, including porting to different software - we want to do it right the first time, and this may take a little time.

We are VERY aware of the problems and want to get a good long-term solution rather than another band-aid!

Thanks for your patience.

Another month has gone by and nothing has been done about the extreme slowness of this site. I wonder how many first time visitors never return because of the blazing speed of this website?

The BOD is investigating options to upgrade our site hosting, we have simply reached a membership level that overloads our current resources at times.

We are working on it, please be patient and it will get better.

BTW - Response time is great at 3:00am ;)

i dont think that it is a problem with traffic. only 14 people on right now and it is slug slow.

Rebooted the server, seems a bit better now ... I tried to check for "Guest" load, but got tired of waiting!

Software/Hardware migration is in the works!

The problem is apparently not with bandwidth or the number of users. Rather its a problem with the software we are using. The current software has been heavily modified and we have simply outgrown its capabilities. Moving the site to new software is not a simple plug and play function and will require some time to modify the new software to accomodate the modifications.

As part of the upgrade, our webmaster and admin folks are looking into alternatives to our current hosting. Please be patient. We are working on this. The software migration is nearly complete and we are trying to work out details on the hosting options now.
