Why is the website so slow?

Zerzan
I have Comcast high speed, and this is the slowest website I've ever navigated in my life. Does anybody else find this annoying when browsing through reviews and discussion boards? Sometimes, it takes up to 30 seconds just to retrieve a single page. I am a paying member, so I am assuming that part of my memebership fee goes toward technical improvements. I would like to recommend that this be one of them. I sent the owner an email about this topic over a month ago, but I never got a reply. So what do you guys think? Do you enjoy looking at dead air every mouse click, and wasting 10-second intervals of your life - over and over again? It adds up. I wouldn't mind paying an extra $5/month if it brings TUSCL into the 21st century.

Must be your equipment. I am using AT&T DSL 6.0 and I rarely have problems downloading from this site.

TUSCL is lightening fast for me--most of the time. Other times I figure there is programming problem.

Wow, that is odd. Maybe my computer is allergic to TUSCL? Of all the websites I've ever visited, this is the only one that is slow (and I mean REALLY slow). I guess I'll just have to accept it. Unless other people chime in and back up my claims. Thanks for the feedback.

For a site which is almost entirely text-based, I would say that this site is slow IMO. Sometimes there are genuine problems with the server though on certain days I suspect...maybe it's just too damn popular... :)

I have tried to figure out why sometimes it is slow... I just haven't been very successful.

Maybe it is only slow for those who write bitchy complaint letters to the founder?

Zerzan I have asked the same question at times. I'm not sure if it's due to server congestion problems that the Founder is using for his web site or what the problem is. I'm not an expert on the topic. I have high speed DSL and at times I have found this site to be slow. However I usually don't have a problem since I log on at times when the server probably isn't that busy such as late at night. I'm sure it's not busy now at 6 AM.

TUSCL is usually OK on my high speed connection, but this morning, Saturday 10 am est, it does seem to be CRAWLING. But on the other hand, whenever I check stripclublist.com, it is ALWAYS slow. There must be lots of guys out there checking SC wbesites....LOL!

Most always works well for me. Is it the best, no. Is it the worst, far from it. Taking that and the fact that founder is so responsive, I feel it is one of the better sites I visit.

It's been a while since I've had any significant speed problems with this site.

I have a lousy dial-up system and I don't think TUSCL is slow at all...
