Sloooooooooooooooooooow

Ive been having problems with it tonight too, but also with some others so I dont know if its my computer or the site. It does suck though.

Yup... Really slow... Not sure what's going on...

Quin - you got any idea's??

I thought it was just GayOL. It's so slow it keeps timing out before I can view a topic.Twice I typed looong posts only to get a "request timed out" and my post lost in cyberspace. That sucked.

Yep. I've been talking with the hosting company for the last 2 days. The server looks good. They think it's a problem with the internet company they buy the Internet service from. Probably a router.

I'll post here when I get an answer.

They are working on the server. I am also working on something else that will be better. Hold tight.

Thanks Guys, I guess I should have said I meant it more as a heads up than a complaint. I hope you took it that way.

No, it wasn't just you Gordo.
Kinda acts like running out of bandwidth during peak hours..
It works great early in the morning or late in the evenings but around 17:00 'till 22:00 it really lags.

Seems like Quicker and Bill or on it!

Maybe it's just all the converts lately!! I'm not sure how many ppl we have now but damn, seems like we just keep on growing!

BH and I are working our collective arses off to get this better. Please be patient. It will get A LOT better soon.

Advice: Go fly before it gets too cold :lol:

As long as the glow motor will start it is never to cold to fly...we fly all winter

I fly all winter, too.... no matter how cold it gets here!

You guys should come fly with me in January. You'd be crying like little girls.

You would be crying alone, winter is for building, flying sims and indoor sports :wink: (some indooor flying also) for me, but I would be glad to watch and harrass any one flying out in the minus degrees. I will keep the van warm!

I flew once in Pittsburgh when it was so cold the receivers in our slope gliders stopped working. We put them in the van, warmed them up and they started working again so we went and flew some more til the next time they quit. That'll pull your pucker string.
Brady, Pa. about 80 miles from P'burgh, directly above the Manongahela River, overlooking a cliff about 1000 feet high and with a West wind you could fly a 57 ford off there. My very first slope glider flight lasted four hours, nonstop. That was a HOOT!

I think that was my most enjoyable time of flying, not in the cold but flying the slope gliders. I was only in the sport about 4 or 5 years when I had to go to Pa. for a Instrument Engineers school. Met some guys in the LHS and they invited me to go slope gliding with them. One guy loaned me a Katie II sloper to fly. Flew it for six weeks and never crashed it at all. We were actually able to do touch and go's with the gliders by flying back above the cliff and landing toward the edge and sliding back off into the lift. We had pylon races, combats, climb contests, just anything we could think of to do for hours on end. My buddy was flying a Gryphon, which was a flying wing that was absolutely supersonic, and I guess that time will stick out in my seldom used memory as one of the all time favorites.
Have never been slope gliding since. I miss it.
