Default ever since the addition of the ads...

this forum is slow as hell... sometimes it doesnt even load.. IE or Firefox, doesnt matter.

Bad move MB owners... if your going to add BS **** like you have, at least make sure it doesnt effect the site in a negative way other than the annoyance of constant spam on the page.

I wont be visiting MB much anymore... not worth the PITA of trying and waiting for the pages to load. Every other forum I go to works just fine.

Damn I was just about to start a thread about this. The site sometimes takes forever load, and then I get errors when trying to post. This is retarded.

hell I cant even access the site half the time, or it loads and you cant access the section your trying to go to!

SO much for testing something before going live with it...you guys work for M$ft legacy group?

I've noticed the same problems. I wish I knew what they were doing. It seems like things never get updated and when they are, it's never a good thing. Times like these make me wish I kept the forums I set up.

Ditto. I have absolutely zero ******* patience as it is and trying to get on MB with no success multiple times in a row has very well nearly led me to put my damn fist through my laptop. Please fix.

Same. I try to open the site and it fails to load repeatedly. Hopefully there will be a fix or removal of these horribly formatted advertisements. If it didnt take up the whole left side of the screen and slow the site down, it would be fair. Gotta keep the site up and running somehow.

I thought it was just my computer earlier. I'm pissed that it's actually the site. I hope it is fixed soon because I don't have the patience for this. I really like the site and members but this is ridiculous. BTW this is my second attempt at this post

lets all take a few weeks off from the site and get the view count down and they will be forced to fix things.

this forum has been rendered ******* useless. If you think we are gonna click the side bar ads, HAHA, think again. Took me 20 minutes just to get to this thread. You'd be better served to FIX IT, gadammit.. If the ads are the cause, shitcan them. Whatever it is, I value my time, and i aint gonna be waiting for the page to load, with errors I might ad.. Nuff ******* said IMFHO...

I've refreshed all day and got nothing..on any computer.. I've actually invested more time in SVTP and v6power then here..which is unusual for me..I'm more of a lurker but regardless... somethings fucked, and needs to be fixed, before this forum dies.

Folks who think Stephen is exciting and livens things up should burn in hell. That cockroach deserves to be hit by a greyhound bus.
