Major issues here, but then again my internet is about as fast as a dead hedgehog at the best of times.

I've noticed that whenever content takes it's time to load on this site, my browser always tells me it's waiting for "angeladvertising.com" or something. Just an observation I'm afraid, I can't really elaborate from that.

Depends on type of net methinks...

Last week I was on tiscali and the page loaded really quickly, 5 secs or such.

Now im with talktalk (We got migrated) with 5-6X faster speed (No kiddin' its awesome, specially HD YOUTUBE!!!) but the escapist loads hella slow.

No you have problems (holds up shiny PC) :0 oh noes I went there

you spelled crappy PC wrong.
I hate to take troll bait but... ahem...

Go play some games on your mac (Yeh, I went there)

OT: I think it is more to do with your network type (like my previous post)

This is a whole new problem for me! It's never been an issue at all until today.

Not sure why but the website is a complete nightmare on my desktop but worked fine on my now-deceased laptop *pours a beer for Lappy*. It's taken me 5 attmepts to just get to this thread!

The escapist has been really slow for me today, taking up to 10 minutes just to load a page, whilst sometimes it even brings up the 404 error.

Also for some strange reason, there are no threads in the gaming discussion section of the forum. Just a message saying.

"Alas there are still no threads for this forum section."

Is anyone else having the same problem?

It's the March Madness! All the fanboys are flooding the server, me thinks.

Sir you may have hit the nail on the head. Not sure how I didn't think of that....of course, if it's still the same in April I'll be back with tears in my eyes and you will have to console me!
