It's been a pain in the ass for me since the Bennett signing....At home or at work. On a desktop, laptop and iPad.
WTF is wrong with this site?

Rush, just sell the hats and use the extra money to upgrade the bandwidth.
FWIW the site has been slow or unresponsive since Monday for me as well.

Or maybe the people that don't donate to the site should stop their bitching.

Or we could just ban all the fucking packer fans that post nothing but garbage followed by Andruw Jones GIF.

It does seem likely, that in spite of both donations and money gained from annoying ads, the bandwidth has been compromised to save money. As Meatloaf once said (or sang), "I want my money back."

Why should anyone donate to a site that is often down everytime there's the most reason to use it?
Using Tapatalk is the only way I can even see the site right now.

I think I have better things to do with my money than donate to an internet site but...
It's not a good tactic to try and scare people into donation, sounds kinda like blackmail. Donate or the servers will keep crashing.
If they keep crashing people will just go somewhere else, let's be real

This.
I literally was not able to connect to this site the past couple of days through my home internet with comcast or with my store's internet with at&t but oddly enough I could connect just fine through my internet at my other store two freakin blocks away also using at&t or if I used my Verizon 4G connection on my Note II. It was seriously driving me insane. I thought it was a problem with my PC / cell phone then I thought it was a problem with my internet connections.

Just some facts to clear up the speculation and misinformation:
The server didn't break a sweat. The problem has nothing to do with the server's capabilities. The influx of traffic triggered the firewall to block anyone that flooded the site with connections. We're dealing with that issue right now.
Got it? Okay? Good.
Sorry about the trouble.

Well no matter how you slice it, site was not working for a hell of a lot of people. Your regulars to be specific.

Time to upgrade the Fisher-Price "My First Firewall"?
More like, time for the host to stop hiring Gomer Pyles that claim to know linux, but are really just IT guys that barely know Windows.

How many have taken note of the message,"Some features are temporarily disabled to help with performance. Chat, Thanks, and Avatars. The features will be restored later. Sorry about the incontinence. "

:dunno: Trying to get clarity on that myself.
Also, thanks. Forgot to take down that message. The site went from a 0.3sec load time to a 0.7sec load time, so I just disabled some features for the time being. +400% peak time jump in traffic does that.
