I've noticed that the site has been slow lately and sometimes, I can't even get on the site. Just wondering what the heck is wrong with this site and why its acting up alot lately

It is mostly due to people posting up asking why the site is slow every time it is not at top notch speed.
Actually I think its from dickheads like you posting up mindless answers that do nothing. Save some oxygen for other people and keep your mouth shut unless you have something helpful to say :hi: .

i can haz PWNT :teeth:

Over a lot of other major forums I go to... this one by far is the slowest. Really seems to get worst day by day. I say the money that this website/message board generates should go to better servers.
you think this is bad..we used to have periods where you would either get an error page or it would just freeze your browser and you'd have to reset it.Sometimes when you try to post the browser will just cut out on you:lol:

just a few weeks ago it was shut down for like 8-10 hours,the other day it was 3-4 :crying:

Ok once again, do you pay for the service that the site gives you? no. The venders chooses to advertise on here. Therefore the choose to pay for the space. Hahn, Modern, and Howell to name a few did fine before the srt and the srtforums.

Like I said, if people have a problem with this site, just go start your own. Jason(Diablo) got tired of neons.org and started 2gn.org. Last time I check there are no venders there providing him with a check. Just ask him how hard it is to run a forum that is not even a 1/8 as popular as this one.

well, i highly doubt it, bc we already most of the time have non members viewing, which slows us down alot as well. maybe make it to where you would need a subscription to even access the site.

however, i highly doubt that if they did commision a subscription fee, it wouldnt do anything for the speed of the site.

but there are alot of people that view the site to see if they even want an srt, so if you had to pay to even access the site it would be stupid imho, i know before i bought mine i searched the site for a couple weeks.

then, we will continue to complain about the site being slow. my local site for car enthusiast is on a much smaller scale than this one with not even a quarter of the vendors that this site has. its been ridiculous lately. yes, this is a great site, but dont think that the guys running this arent making any money off of it. at least do something about the site that is loved by so many people

well like said, if its slow go find another site to surf then come back, i dont think that its that big of a deal to actually make people pay to view. Maybe there could be an annual donnation and if you choose to donate than thats on you, maybe you can get a free sticker or something if you do donate. There are a couple of sites that have a system like that I.E. homemadeturbo.com

srt district does that also. the thing is, if you run something, run it right. i can understand a site thats slow every now and then, but it has been pretty ridiculous lately. anyone who doesnt agree, go ahead and chime in, and dont come back with the typical prick comment "if you dont like it, go to another site." i'd pay a small subscription to be a member. if you still want some to be viewed by non members, make a small section accesible for viewing.

I wouldnt mind paying a small fee either, but im sure there are alot of people on this site that wouldnt want to pay, and would end up losing alot of members. To me thats what makes this site so good, is because there are so many different kinds of people, and somethings all ways going on in the community. I didnt mean to come off as a "prick" with my comments, but if thte site is slow i usually go surf a different site,come back and its usually all good:thumbupsq

Its slow because of the focking BS whoring and BS threads on here.


Its not even a car forum anymore. Its a place for people that have nothing better to do during work, to post in off-topic hoping for 100 posts a day. Its down right sickening.

Its one thing to post some nonsense once in awhile, but these days its the same few flooding the forums with pure garbage


I for one, cant wait for this years Ban stick to come calling.
