@SJG, yes, I've noticed this too. Or I get straight up error messages like "TUSCL.net refused to connect." Usually from 8-9 PM EDT (i.e. around now), but I've seen it a bit earlier today too.
The idiots trolling all day are scaring people away. Theisu shailynn tetradon skibum 25 dougster cacaplop sld et al just troll all day ruining the discussions
If you have cable internet and the modem is connected to the coax but slow it does not indicate slow internet from the coax, but instead can be an issue with the cable modem.
A wayvthat you can tell is to connect your device directly to the coax and if you have slow speeds, it could be splitters or amplifiers interfering with the signal.
In terms of slow speed, do you mean packet loss because you will need to run logs to trace.
Also, check the signal to loss ratio with the tech running taps on the coax to detect signal loss.
if your pale white ass wouldn't be posting all this bullshit nonsense on here the site wouldn't slow down. fucking dumb ass white people, fuck your organization I don't want to join now.
Right now, before noon local time, TUSCL seems kinda slow. And I only say it is slow when other big web sites are running quickly. So it is not a local bottle neck.
Yesterday when I started this thread it was very difficult to even do that, because it was so slow.
Well I am glad that it has been surfaced that many are finding it slow, and problematically slow.
Obviously a site like this has hosting costs, and if use expands enough, those hosting costs also have to go up.
But I am also confident that Founder is going to figure out what to do, to make it work practically.
If he had merely used an off the shelf message board software, then we could never have had the structured format for reviews, or the geographical organization.
That was what originally drew me to this.
Like for a Chemical Engineer wearing a suit and going on a business trip, this really is the Ultimate Site.

Stop bumping all these necrothreads the trolling is causing the slowing down and the frequent crashes, in the past threads had less than 50 responses most of the time, nw with you jerks bumping threads over and again many have over a hundred responses and that’s eating bandwidth at a tremendous rate
Now wonder founder doesn’t want to pay for more bandwidth when you and others like you refuse to write reviews or pay for VIP
founder you know how to fix this put back the two way ignore
If people don't reuse the old threads then they will be just starting new threads and then it becomes impossible to find anything.
Old threads are what give us topical organization and allow a broader range of discussions.
And yes, of more people are posting it does use up more bandwidth, but it also increases the value of the site and it does increase the number of people going for paid VIP.

Discussions are a byproduct of the site. But yeah the trolling is out of control. 25 you can stop trolling and stop calling people who try to defend themselves form said trolling, trolls
Adding to my previous post, they look at TUSCL as their personal playground with absolutely zero regard for others, that's why they're both #3 + 4 for in ignores and the crazy thing is #2 ignores has never posted so actually they're top 3!
Founder put a rotating sample of the women's pictures on the front page. That was a stroke of genius. I am sure it increases the views and the database hits. It certainly does with me.

@founder I have VIP and it is very slow the last two or three days, both on my laptop and my iPhone

Remember the Andy Griffith episode where Howard Sprague was nominated for membership in “The Lodge” but was blackballed
I’m all for VIP membership with hefty dues if we are able to blackball undesirables
Log in to vote
Well there is a VIP Room and there is a Verified Room. As I see it though these don't get used that much.
What has made TUSCL flourish, in my humble opinion, is that it is completely open and it has no real barrier to entry.

25 you do not know about people's lives, about what they do, or why.
As far as TUSCL, if more people use it, it does need more bandwidth. And this includes old threads, but only if more people read them.
We do want more people using this.

I don't recall the website being this slow even b/f Covid - sometimes one can't even connect

TUSCL Super slow the last hour. Drops posts. Third time I've tried to make this one.
Don't know if it is just the volume of use at this hour of the day.
My internet doing very well otherwise.
