Site is S-L-O-W
I am using Firefox 3 at work (high speed broadband) and FF2.x at home (wireless 3G) and no matter what, this site is slow like molasses pouring out of a jar during a Canadian winter. It literally takes over a minute for the main forum index page to load as well as my particular forum page that I have bookmarked. Are there issue with the host server?

Like the above user stated, I would run a speedtest and see what kind of speed rates you are getting.

I doubt it because it's on two different connections on two different machines. I also tried IE at work and the same thing. It's S-L-O-W. Unless there are issues here in Oklahoma, this makes no sense. All of the news sites and other automotive sites I visit come up normally. This is the only one that gives me fits.

Yup. I've used on three different networks (three distinct providers) all broad band and the site has been EXTREMELY slow the last few weeks since changes in the forum.
Since I hadn't seen any complaints I just figured it's loaded up with more ads/content and every body else loves it....but every forum takes a loooong time to load.
Every other website I use is like lightning. Something not quite right with webpage format or size of files etc.

I've had no issues from home and could tell no difference in speed between here and any of the other 6-8 forums I frequent.
In Ga. now and although the cable internet is 33% slower than I have in Fl. I can see no speed difference, still as fast as any other...
