Hairball in the internet?

[Ubiquitous]

Sometimes (recently) when I try and visit here the response is very slow or doesn't go through at all. I was just curious if anyone else was having similar troubles, or what might be the cause.

:rant:

Could be many things.... These are possibilities in the order of probability

1. Your DNS from your ISP isnt working
2. Your personal line isnt working right... Might need to reboot the cable modem (if high speed) or if you are on dialup...all things are slow

3. DNForum is having a period of high activity... so the server is overworked. It might take a second more for it to respond.

4. DNForum is down... (Very unlikely. Ive never seen this yet)

4. DNForum is down... (Very unlikely. Ive never seen this yet)

1. DNS is perfect
2. Personal line is perfect
3. DNForum is always high activity
4. DNForum has been down once or twice for a few moments
5. The computer is plugged in
6. The screen is turned on
7. etc, etc...
