SpeedGuide Site Performance is getting wacky?!

[JustForFun]

Hmmmmmmmmmm......anybody else seeing weird things round here lately??

First, some posts are cramming all the posters text into the left "frame" where the location, etc., info goes.

Second, getting lots of "page missing" errors, etc.

Finally, this site is taking a LONNGGGGGG time to load up all of a sudden and I'm on cable here.

It used to just SNAP! into place, but now it seems I 'm waiting 15-30 seconds to get in. Other sites still have great speed, but I'm experiencing major slowdown here as of 3/20/2000.

Maybe this place getting "too" popular??? Wassup guys?? Anybody else seeing this type of stuff lately?

Seems the Buletin Board eats up most of the CPU resources on the server... I guess we have to upgrade to a faster box, things are getting out of hand last couple of days. Just rebooted the server, here are the curent stats:

Oh, also, those posts from Cableboy with everything in the left frame were a result of some html code in his Profile...
