Isn't it obvious. Since Bob left, they had to replace him on the bicycle which powers the SI server farm. To save money, they brought in a high school kid at minimum wage who can't peddle as fast as Bob. LOL BTW: Bob good luck to you

I noticed the slowdown in the servers a number of weeks ago, for what it's worth. Maybe it's more noticeable since Bob is gone, since we're all more aware of the financial situation at INSP.

I know the answer to that one. GNET changed the entire database over from what Brad built (that worked perfectly) to Oracle. That's what screwed it up. They have been trying to make the Oracle database do the same things that were already built by Brad. In two years, they still have been unable to make the site do what it did when they bought it from Jeff and Brad Dryer. GNET paid big bucks to jack up the site totally, after they paid big bucks for the perfectly working site. Doh!!
