It seems to me that the site is slwing down (Not just active-wise, but speed wise) the triple posts everywhere is just annoying, and it's happeend to me like what, 5 times now? Seriously annoys me.



And look what we have here. even Chit-Chat is slowing down. Usually most people are here, during the dya atleast. The D2 forums are slowly dieing. The SC forums are dead IMO (I think we need TrongaMonga back to revive them.) And WC3, it's probably the most active game forum. With Guys like Theroy, Pan and Samsara there, it isn't going down just yet. CS forums...well, I don't play CS, so someone tell me if thats dead yet.



Anyone else feeling what I'm feeling? Maybe it's just me but it seems the site is just taking it a bit slow lately. There's hardly anyone on! Maybe it's because the admins disabed Who's Online. I honestly have no idea anymore. I'm here usually, but I come back 6 hours at a time usually and topics are the same when I left. Can anyone see this besides me? I liked things when they were more active. Even though I haven;t been here for more then three or four weeks, over the past coupel of weeks, things have been slowing down IMO. :( What do you guys think?

Well, I think school is starting and the reason it's taking a while for the lag or whatever is because the new portal is up if you would read them for once...we will be getting better soon...I hope.

The SC section has been dead for awhile now, the game has been out for about 5 years. Most people play WC and D2. Even with thronga SC wont make a comeback. It just might have a boost in activity playing SC. The only thing that will bring back the SC section is SC2.

I think you need some more sites to search.

Stay around the forums for 2 years, and you'll notice during school is when ALL forums slow down. Whether the members are in college, highschool, middle school or elementary. :p

It's a general fact of life.

All that means is there's going to be more questions for you to answer that other people won't be able to get to first. ;)

Maybe it's just me, but, maybe you shouldn't press the 'submit reply' button 10 times and just wait for it to load.

I've hit 3, no less, and some 2's. But it wont load otherwise (It just sits there loaidng for me, my net is gay and i've waited over 25 min on one post.) So I close my Firefox, repoen, c/p post and submit, and it gives me the 45 second rule, and I double posted by that time, on accident. Sorry. :(

Hi chrisUK :wavey

Well...if you used the head you got there, you could probably figure out that school starts around this time, and people cant spend there whole time on the computer. Or maybe they all have more of a life than posting 44 times a day on an internet forums. Either way, you didnt use your brain.

I feel offended now. :(




Yea, but school hasn't started for me. I have nothing better to do then come here and make lots of pests and annoy people like you. It's like my job now, ha. You have a few weeks left of me then poof. I'll be gone. :)



I'm braindead because lack of school. I want to go back really bad but I still got a few weeks. So honesrtly if you don't like the way I post or run my life, sned me a Pm and I will take your complaint under advisement. :D
