What is wrong with RCUniverse website
Every day , few times a day, RCU is not accessible. Tried different browsers, different physical locations to connect from, iPhone, PC's etc etc. Browsers return "No data received" and I can't connect to web page.
I heard that other people have same problem. What is happening? Why is forum not working properly?

I agree with the above posters. Something is wrong with RCU. It's the slowest forum I've ever used and locks up frequently. I use a PC running IE11. I think RCU has been hacked by some sort of virus that slows the system down. DOS attack I think it's called.

You seem a little defensive. I didn't mean to hurt your feelings. Maybe DOS is the wrong term, but, something is definitely wrong with RCU. There were a couple of days where I even gave up trying to log on last week. Today it is still VERY slow.

RCU is a mess
RCU is still very slow and sluggish. It does not seem to be able to detect what operating system the users are using and displays things all wonky. Its almost impossible to go from one page to the next. Its obvious an alien species has taken over the site. And now... back to RC Groups.

Oh no. You used the "other" site name. You might get excommunicated.
But seriously. Rcu is slow. Noticeably slower that other rc and non rc pages.
Last week It was faster than this.
It it is not limited to one browser or operating system. Firefox, Chrome, safari. I use it on VERY FAST Internet connection at work, both wired and wireless, and fast connection at work.

Yep, painful slow. Pictures take forever to load as well.
A person has no patience to wait for these forums to load. I used to frequent the Jet Forum, but now I will only check in every few days and won't linger if I have to watch the website stall...please get it fixed.

Just a bit of feedback.
I travel a lot with work and often access RCU from many different sources,e.g. hotel / airport wifi, local 3G and 4G cellular and with different devices iPad, iPhone, PC, Mac.
During a recent trip I was not able to access RCU at all across the South Pacific, using wifi cafe's and local 3G in Tahiti, Fiji, Noumea etc. The site was not available however all of my other regular sites worked normally. (Both other RC forums and non RC websites).
Granted there may not be any RC modellers in these locations but it happens in some hotels also in Australia and other places around the world.
