Shitty connection?

Has Doomworld been really slow to load for anyone else lately? I think someone mentioned it in #zdoom too.

Not for me, I'm loading pretty well.

No, not really.

Working fine for me.

I had this problem a few months ago though. Turned out to be my internets misbehaving themselves.

No problem here.

If I want to complain about anything being slow it's Opera 11. I swear, Opera has become so incompetent, I'm a hair away from switching back to Firefox.

nope.avi (using Chrome)

Chrome 100%. It's like what Firefox was like when it first started doing the rounds. Now Firefox is slow as shit and has eight billion extensions to slow it down even more.

Nope for me, it's working fine.

My favorite fast, lightweight browser:

I only startup the pig (firefox) for sites that need javascript, and I don't tend to visit those much.

Works fine.

Using the forums a few hours ago caused a popup to be detected and blocked. It hasn't happened in a long time, I got no malware and I even added the entry in my hosts file a long time back. Hmm...

Maybe the powers that be have written your name in their little black book of 'miserable user' terrorists :(

Looks like google's covert browser monopoly is gooing smoothly. Outright buying all the competition might have legal hurdles and 'evil' overtones. If you pay the competition to take a dive in the fifth round instead, you get the monopoly plus the bonus points of looking like the least inept available plus you can probably place bets on stock beforehand, like Marsellus Wallace.

I would have noticed this, but I wouldn't put it past certain foes.

It looks like Atomic Gamer have switched to Google Ad Services for the home page, so that gives you something else to block.

As a happy SeaMonkey user I resent those aspersions! :P
