I have messaged Jim about the site slowness


Not sure when he will see it though as he doesn't check the email address that often.

The Politics forum is to blame for the slowness. And Democrat Clintons are behind it:

Good evening PSville, these comments belong on the Politics board๐Ÿ‘

Hey ShogunofYonkers, yeah right. But i see a bunch of politics stuff from time to time in the General forum too.

reply

It does not belong here.
American politics in particular get very ugly very quickly, no need to pull the pin out of that grenade friend.

For about the last week the site has been very slow, or non-functional. A few times it's just timed out, and a few times the screen has suddenly gone to a warning message that MovieChat is "an unauthorized site" and might be infecting my computer with a virus. I hope this gets fixed soon.

5:40 p.m. U. S. West Coast time and it's working pretty well but on this thread I don't see a box to reply to the whole thread so am just replying to the last comment.

Site has been slow and hard to get to the last week at least. After you said you emailed Jim I had to check my calendar and make sure this wasn't somehow an April Fool's joke. We all know Jim was replaced by an AI like Microsoft's Clippy several years ago.

You guys are so spoiled. Did none of you live through the days of 28.8K dial-up modems?

Don't bring back those nightmare memories, please.

I remember an episode of the Computer Chronicles where a man was about to give up on the internet because it was so slow. As such, he was offered to become a beta tester of cable modems. ๐Ÿ˜œ

I remember waiting up to 5 hours for a movie to load (on a good day with no disconnections) :(

You clearly are the โ€œJim Whisperer.โ€ Your PM to him about the struggling server issues brought him out of a 6 year hibernation. Now, can we get you to send him a PM with our consensus top 10 suggested site improvements while we still have his attention?

I CAN STILL HEAR THOSE SOUNDS IN MY HEAD.๐Ÿซค

I had a 14.4k!

Right now, the site is faster than it's ever been and mind you, I get this is worldwide with posters in different regions of the world, but it's 4AM Central Time and this site is posting really well
