the homepage is slow as fuck still

This is what happens when your site doesn't have any admins. I blame ioi.

Nope, they only way I can access the site is through an old thread that I have saved to history. I can't connect straight to the home page.

I use Linux on my other PC and had the same problem lol

It's been a tad ropey but not moresk than usual. Then again, haven't been here much this week so maybe that's to blame.

Nope, we still haven't neutered the trolls..

Does your OS really matter for this situation?..

so slow.

for me the problem is time of day based, so I suspect some ad or ad distribution site is causing the slow load of the vgc home page

I surf trough my Upad, so no AdBlock. I thought it was some new weird ad that made everything slow.
