Very slow though, compared to the last BBS. Takes a good 2 seconds for each link to www.nvnews.net to connect and respond.

Also, had a few issues trying to sign up. Ended up having my registration Account number emailed to me 4 FOUR times before it would accept and activate my account.

Glad to be back. Hopefully these troubles aren't going to last.

Funny. This updated forum runs faster than the one before. You on 56k EW?

That does sound strange. It seems at least as quick, if not quicker, than it was prior to the nuking.

The fastest I ever used

Yes, I have noticed slow load times too. Not intolerably slow, but an annoyance. And my registration emal sure took it's sweet time getting here! About 5 minutes.

Glad to see the forum back up again. I for one really appreciate the effort you guys put into this site

The reason it might seem slower - php accelerator doesn't seem to be installed yet unlike the previous forums, however their server now claims not to even be running PHP, at least not mod_php (don't tell me you're using the CGI

) so maybe they hid it in an attempt at security by obscurity.
