Yes, that's an excellent idea. Limit the privileges for the paying
members. That will bring more income for hardware upgrades. 🙄

More likely it's an overload of silly spin-off threads that causes the slow down

I've got this several times today, and twice while just trying to tell you about it.

The connection has timed out

The server at www.timeforchess.com is taking too long to respond.

* The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few
moments.

* If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network
connection.

* If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure
that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.

Same problem here.
Since it's a new problem, I'm sure it's solved quite easily
by looking at new and/or changed scripts added/modified
in the last 24 hours by the site admins...😉

Can anyone say "sinking ship"? 😉 Just kidding, of course. But seriously, speed this place up a bit.
Miscrofost have apparently reduced the amount of available resources to the internet by 75% until everyone purchases Windows Vista.

Until then we have to put up with the slower responses.

I haven't noticed any unusual slowness in the site's running. I just created a thread in the Meet Opponents Forum without any difficulty. 😕

Guys,

Regarding site performance, I know it is frustrating right now, but I wanted to let you know that our hosts are performing "Emergency Networking Maintenance” tonight.

I suspect this will solve the current problems (I have been struggling to identify the cause). So, with luck, by tomorrow AM GMT all will be well.

If not, it will have my full attention until resolved.
