It is a great site.

But the new server which was supposed to improve response time hasn't done much for me. I just tried to sign on a few minutes ago - sign on took almost 60 seconds and then the site stopped responding trying to access Active Topics. It's been this way for me for several months. Sometimes it's fairly quick and other times excrutiatingly slow - I still get 'access denied" messages from time to time since the server transfer. And I have broadband modem. It's the only site that I visit regularly that is a problem.

So I find it hard to justify donating more money for something that is only sometimes functional for me. And I am also faintly irritated by the concept that if I don't donate again I'll have limited accessability.

If I sound a little peeved it's because the site has so much potential.
