Maybe I am on when this slowdown does not happen, usually it is pretty slow, but not in the past ten days. As for threats about leaving, if I was you, unless the server got to a point where there were timeouts a stack of times, I would always come back to see new messages. So that is a pretty weak threat, and for a free Chess forum which you provide, pretty ungrateful on his part, for 1) complaining so loudly, and 2) mentioning another post board which I have visited a few times, and found not up to standard due to all the non english posts which I cannot read. I have no problems with this site. Apart from some days when it is slow, do not see me complaining though. Keep up the great work steve
