Why is boards.ie so slow?

    Does anybody actually know why boards.ie is such a slow site? Granted, there are times (probably off-peak, in terms of usage) when it chugs along reasonably well. But most of the time it is horrendously slow, and as far as I can recall, always has been.

    It's free to use, so I can't go overly bananas on the issue, but boards.ie would have by far the worst performance of any site I regularly use, and I don't understand why: it isn't doing anything mentally complex. I say we force the powers that be to get their sh*t together and sort it, or else we all go on strike. WHO'S WITH ME? (silence, faint sound of distant bell, a single cough, tumbleweed gently rolls across the ground)

    VBulletin + lots of users is not a good combonation. It needs to be tweaked and hacked to **** and a lot of server power to keep running.

    The ironic thing is, if you did go on strike, it would be fastrer.

    Hullaballoo, where is that new FAQ?

    Take it to feedback.
    Your questions will be answered there.
    Just don't suggest going on strike unless you want to be flamed.
