Might be Meta, but needs to be said...
DU has become painfully slow to load.
I will not pay another $45 for this crap service. I click my DU bookmark, then I can go make a pot of coffee. And I PAY for this?
I love you Skinner and Elad and Dave and whatever. I will not follow you spiraling down the drain. I'd rather look at ads than pay to look at the spinning beach ball.
McGrath must not pay his bills, or rather, his wife must not pay his bills.Same here, what the DUmmie needs to do is stop stealing wifi from a busy cable node. :-)
The DUmp loads like lightning for me.
Some picture heavy threads on there load kind of slow for me, but I don't have that problem on other sites.Sounds like it's time for another fundraiser.
Rob probably has some kind of porn downloading.

17. Everything esle loads just fine.
DU take forever. Sometimes a can re-click the bookmark and it will load a bit faster. CU loads faster, but then, they only have five people reading it.

Rob strikes me as a tranny midget/donkey gay porn kind of guy.:rotf: :lol: :lol: :cheersmate:

Probably has a few heavy duty trojans loaded in to his browser. No telling where these DUers visit when they're not being corralled at DU.
It's been a very long time since I've driven in a crowded congested blue state, but there's still probably those impatient sorts of drivers who can't stand following somebody else, even if the somebody else is already going 69 mph in a 65 mph speed zone.Sorry that you could never hear the genius of the comedian George Carlin, Frank. At least with his analysis & dissection of language. There are some compilation books, though.
And so they must pass.
<<<I'll bet Atman's that sort of driver.
CU is still in business?

28. So, once again...
Several others have reported similar issues. Skinner himself has reported issues. Every other web site and every other aspect of my computer works perfectly fine, no issues. But DU is slow as dog shit. Therefore, obviously it must be my computer and not an issue with DU. That makes sense.

34. And being a paid member, I don't get ads
So it isn't the "graphics." I guess after being a member since 2002 and having owned computers since the Mac SE was state of the art, I've just forgotten how they work. Some of the comments here are amazing! Like, really? I don't know how DU or my own computers work?
Atman's pretty grouchy this morning; he must not've gotten any last night.
His hand rejected him? :confused: :whistling: :tongue:It went on a date with somebody else

And how can a man be sending snotty posts to the DUmp at 4 in the morning, and still be ready to hit the pavement on his job search first thing in the morning?
I'm wondering if TexasToast my be a big fan of torrent downloads?
If he's constantly downloading torrents or at the very least doing a lot of heavy duty streaming...his ISP will automatically throttle back his speeds until either the first of the month or until enough time has passed that they believe the heavy usage has stopped.
The other option is that he hasn't paid his bill in awhile and they will keep slowing it down until he either pays the bill or his service is terminated.
He's applying for jobs... in Nigeria.

45. Most people on this thread are saying "it's you." The vast majority, in fact.
Why are you being so nasty and combative? Who is calling you "stupid" and why is your first "go-to" an assumption that I or anyone would think that of you? Why are you snarling at someone who is actually TRYING to HELP you? Jesus!
Maybe you can find an answer at this link--here's someone with a similar problem, unable to load ONLY one page--and no, it wasn't the website's fault: http://en.kioskea.net/forum/affich-92145-one-certain-site-will-not-load-help
There are a lot of suggestions at that link. Maybe one of them will work for you.
If the problem was with DU, there would be a zillion people griping. There aren't.

47. Actually, there are a "zillion" people griping.
But I assume you meant that as hyperbole, since there are nowhere close to a zillion people signed up to DU.
Lots and lots of people griping. So you're not. Yay you.
Now, for the umpteenth time...I have no issues with any other web sites. None. But I see several posters here with the same complaint...DU loads painfully slow, it it loads at all.
So, you have no such problem. Yay, you. I have no such problem with any other web site EXCEPT DU. So I guess you're just awesome. You got the special Skinner Love. I'm just relaying my experience. I can log onto many other web sites and they all function just fine. I can log onto DU and have to click two or three times to get the front page to load.
Obviously it's because I'm an idiot and don't know how to click a bookmark. Asshole.
