The thread with this name that was closed with no explanation did serve a useful purpose, so I am opening a new one to replace it.

Speed is back to normal now, and if there was a shutdown, I wasn't here to witness it.

    > All I know if I brag too much about how good something is doing it turns to cr_p in the next 30 minutes.

    That mean that all the grumbling about the forums is actually reverse psychology to make them work better??

    Phillip,

    Can I recommend Randy Newman's God's Song? I have a feeling you might
    appreciate it.

    Well then. Have you heard the good news about Amway?

    Please! Not here! I read another group that a bunch of people proselytize all the time.

    The way life has gone from one bout of pain and misery to another from the time I was born. I've almost decided there is no such thing.

    Religion is one thing we don't need on Adobe forums. Another is politics. :-(

    I'm 59 years old and have had very little good luck to come my way. All I know if I brag too much about how good something is doing it turns to cr_p in the next 30 minutes.

    Well, during the last 5-6 days, my visits have been sporadic, and I didn't notice remarkable delays on those occassions. Right now, everything seems to be working about as fast as in the good old days. Let's hope it keeps this way...

    Just for a change from my usual complaining, I'd like to say that the forums are really zippy at the moment!

    :)

    Before noon was the slowdown that I referred to that led to the restart at noon. I didn't experience any slowdowns yesterday. But I do believe that many people are.

    I think I noted earlier (or in another thread) that the system is being updated (new servers).

    J.C....

    (I hope you know that I'm not directing this at you...)

    It's not just about an occurrence today, or yesterday, or last week, or last month.

    It's about an ongoing consistency problem.

    Slashdot gets massive traffic. You agree with that, right?

    I visit there every day, and sometimes as many as 20 times a day, at all times of the day and night, and have been visiting the site for at least 5 years.

    I can only remember ONE time where their pages didn't load pretty much as fast as my connection will allow. I think they were doing a wholesale hardware changeover. Didn't take very long, either, then the entire site was back up and as speedy as always.

    How can they manage that sort of consistency, that well and for that long, and Adobe can't?
