I have had some people tell me it seems that the site is taking much longer to respond and load than in the first couple of weeks. I have noticed all day today the very same problem. Seems to me that it is NOT at my end - any ideas?? I have IE 6 and all service packs and most sites rspond and load fairly well....compared to this one. Thanks for feedback!
I don't think it was being caused by excess visitors to forums.
Some users were trying to gain access to our servers by hammering them with random usernames and passwords but we took steps to prevent them from gaining entry.
