Are the forums noticably faster for people now?

There were two things that changed one after the other. One, I made the forums URL relative instead of absolute, but this breaks the notification emails, and I'm changing it back. The only thing this did anyway was shave about 5% off the filesize of the HTML generated by the forums.

The other, which probably was what made things faster, was that the option to compress the output was not selected.

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

When including stuff relative and absolute does make a bit off a difference with loading times, but not much.

My ping time is generally OK with this server, but yes, stuff speeded up a lot lately. It now seems at a proper speed.

The sad thing is I knew that because that's where Mulder is supposed to live in the X-Files.

Spot the geek.

I was also one of the people experiencing the slow loading and general unresponsiveness. This is on a 6m/768k cable connection. I haven't browsed the site much in the last few days, but it does seem to be a lot better than what I remember about a week ago.

You're pretty close to where I live; Rockville is also on the outskirts of DC, although on the north side.
