Hi Everyone,

Jim Moonan brought this thread to my attention, and I thought I should share publicly my response to him--

I've also noticed the sloooow problem recently. It's due to the site being literally flooded by hacker bots from all over, essentially bringing the site to its knees based on the currently available memory resources and processing power.

I've just installed additional firewall tools to stem the tidal wave. Hopefully, you'll see some improvement in speed as a result. Still, that's just a stop-gap measure as the more effective solution would be buying more processing power, disk, and memory resources to essentially handle the surge in capacity as a result of the relentless hacker barrage on the server.

Anyhow, let me know if there's any noticeable improvement as a result of the additional firewall tools I've just installed.

Cheers,
...Alex
