Why is this website so slow again?

Am I alone, or is anyone else experiencing really slow response from this site?

I visit a group of sites daily, but Pelican is far and away (again, recently) the most balky and slow of the bunch.

Who knows what's up?

I have been experiencing the slow response also. I guess it's because this site is so popular.

Probably too many duplicate posts. They take up a lot of server time...

Actually, no problems here.

Yes, it'd been a little sluggish to respond over the last couple of days.

However, I'm merely adding a comment and not complaining at all! I must give Kudos, thanks, and praise to Wayne and his crew for the job they do and the community they provide..

Ok, I say this because I bang around on a few other supposedly enthusiast sites, and what a bunch of misers! Oh, they want you to pay a fee to be a member and register, or they want to limit the amount of pics you can post, or limit the number of days before you can post a pic, or a for sale add and on and on! Jeez..

I have one car that I've finally gotten it through my thick head that I'm just not gonna get around to bring it back.. so I decide to sell it reasonably and list it on a couple of sites for enthusiast of that marque.. well one pops up after I type and load the ad, and tells me that because "I'm not a club member," it'll be $30 to list the add or if I join for $50 the add is free! Duh! The other related "bbs" allows me to load, pics and all.. and then says that the add will be posted after approval by a moderator. Ok fine, except that was a month ago! I sent the webmaster and the 3 moderators a polite note asking if there was anything else I need to do, if there was a cost that I was over looking, and the fact that I'd rather offer the car to the community rather than on slezebay or Crack's-list. What a bunch of bumpkins!

So apologies for the rant.. thanks again Wayne for a great site, and its off to slezebay with the hoopty!

The site isn't slow; I'm slow. (funny, just as I said that, it took more than 2 minutes to post this thread, hmmmm, yea it's slow.)
