Loading times / problems on Agon ???


Have any of you had problems with Agon loading up very slowly / the server timing out / pages not available as of lately ? I have been noticing this for a while and sent an email to the "powers that be" at Agon. Their response is that they have not had any other comments about this, so they've never looked into it. I know that others have had problems as i've seen a comment or two about it in relatively recent threads.

As such, i've you've been having problems, please chime in and respond to this thread. The more info that you can provide for Agon, the more likely they are to be able to resolve this problem. If you could include the appr time of when you run into the most problems, what those problems are, etc ...

Personally, i run into problems between 10 AM and 1 PM CST and then again at 9 - 10 PM. Most of the time, i'll either have to wait a long period of time for the page to load up or i'll get a "this page is not available" notice. I know that this is not a problem on my end as i can go to a dozen other sites and they all load up just as fast as usual. This may be more apparent to those of you with high speed connections. I am typically connected at 1200 - 1600 Kbps, so a big drop in connection speed is easily noticed.

Anyone else experiencing problems, similar or not ? Sean

I noticed a problem this morning. From about 1 to 3 A.M. (PDT). Same problems that you described. "Could not locate website" every time I tried to navigate to a different page. Clicked the "refresh" and the page opened, but VERY SLOWLY. I had a bunch of other windows opened, and I'm using an older, slower computer with a max. of 28.8 Kbps, on a good day! (Thank you Qwest, for your antiquated phone lines!) Honestly, this has been the first time that I noticed this problem at the Agon site. As long as I keep getting my endless "spam" without any problems!!!!!
I have noticed this phenomenon since last weekend at other sites and it seems to have effected most all forum style websites I frequent. It is inconsistent and quite annoying, I dunno what's up, my firewall is not picking up any unusual activity???? Maybe this is a server problem, are the others who posted in this thread using Roadrunner? I was just suspecting roadrunner to be the problem, its a big problem at www.m3forum.com I can't navigate anything over there right now!
I too have noticed this in the past week and a half..felt like i was using a Dial Up service again, vs DSL
Put me down, same problem. Really slow loading times, page unavailable.

I bounce in and out at many different times, I'll try and pay attention to the times. Seems much worse past week. Couple times I moved on and gave up an A-gon.
