God damnit what is up. My grandpa is faster at having sex then this site loading and he doesn't even take viagra.
lol
Are you another poor 56K modem user such as myself?
56k isint so bad if you have a faster computer...
It doesn't matter what speed you connect at, the server you're contacting controls the flow as well.....
Um... this is very true. I'm using ADSL (up to 960 kbps downstream and 133 kbps upstream according to the lastest benchmarks) and MSIE 6.0 and the site does take a while to load. Something like 7 seconds at time, guess the AO server need another T-1 line...
I’m just glad there’s not tons of flash all over the place.
Flash + 56k = time to get something to eat and do homework
i agree. i have a cable connection and recently noticed that it takes forever to load. just my two cents anyway.
I have to deal with a 56 modem that will only get 288 max on this stinkin ISP! (why do parents waste so much money on such poor services? We have had this 'service' for over a year now...)
...mom doesnt want to change email addresses!
Yes FreeOn, it is slow and I am on cable. Been slow to me for awhile now. Several months. Must be getting quite a bit more traffic nowadays. Been noticing that the 'active' user's are 200+ most of the time.
Time to get a fatter pipe, methinks. Bet that'll cost a bit :)
I'm on fast ADSL and it takes ages for me as well, but then again I use Mozilla, you need Internet Explorer in order to view AO fast.
Yeah u all are right.AO sucks a little bit.I switched to Opera now and put off the loading images now its ok.Try the trick.
Or Opera to view AO ultra-fast!!!!!!!!!!! It is king, no arguments!! :)Quote:

EDIT: Sorry, didn't see ya post there blackmask, but for me it's really quick and I've got Opera and Images ON. It seriously hasn't been slow for me for a long time and I got a 56K connection.
AO needs another OC4 line ;) That should speed things up a bit, but with the new servers coming it should be faster
Or maybe this board is made by a lousy programmer.Quote:

some days it is faster, but it seems to slow when more members are on it so likely a bandwidth and server issue.
AO is VERY VERY slow...
I have cable... When a site takes more than 2 seconds to load then it's slow... when it takes more than 5 seconds then it's VERY slow... AO takes about 10 bloody seconds! but wtf the site is worth the waiting :D
and I can check my mail while it loads in the background, hehe... :D
I noticed the samething, on T1,ASDL,cable and 56kQuote:

if ao had 1 oc4 line i would be suprised.
i would be suprised if they had a full t3.
prolly either a frac t3 10mb burst pipe or maybe a couple of bonded t1s
Ya im siting behind a T1 and viewing forums on AO is a task that takes patience
First off - It's 'too', the friggin word is 'too'.Quote:

And second - Freeon, How many times have you watched your grandpa have sex? that's just plain sick.
hehehe
Hrmmm... I am on ADSL, and the response time is around 12 seconds before anything loads. When it starts to load, i get a max load speed of 6k a second. I am using Opera with everything on. (pics.. ect...)
While in that IRC Chat, however, JP revealed that the site is temporarily using a slower kind of database. When the new server(s) get here, he said he will be switching back to the faster one. My 14.23 cents anyway. :)
i am on a 56k dialup and it takes about 15 s for the whole page to load. i dont know if it might help or not but jp might wana change the size of the "AntiOnline.com" banner at the top. that thing takes like +3 seconds to load. it also might be because this site uses a lot of tables and nothing in tables shows up untill all of the elements in it a loaded. <-- correct me if i am wrong. as far as the speed of my computer goes, it's okay - not too fast, not to slow. just right. 466mhz.
The site is slow beCause there has been an increAse in the numBer of users that visit the site daily. I may be on cable, but the site has been sLow. But for those 56k usErs who expect it to be blazing fast, think again. It won't get faster, only slower.
psychosquee - quite true. Been on dial and multi Ts, not much change.
btw - your signature says it all. ;)
Still To Slow!
someone does seriously need 2 do something about the speed on AO. I'm on Cable and by the time it finishes loading i have 2 shave again so i look presentable to everyone online. (Until I get my webcam at least!)
I would like to know the panzy that can't put there name by there antipoints. I think that person is a little scared and not big enough to face the music. On every antipoint I put out there is my name attached to it.
The latest one on this thread, the comment was
" LEAVE THEN NEWBIE " ROFL, Show yourself you lamer old timer
Well if you need to know JP changed it back to the slow database, instead of gemini which we had when it was fast. Though when the new server comes in, it should gain back its speed. The problem is not bandwith, its the time it takes these pages to generate. (This is best to my knowledge that I remember from IRC conversations.)
Antionline isnt THAT slow guys... I dont see why you all think it is.... Its not as fast as google but its faster then most forums i go to .... And complaing about it isnt going to do anything
JP is doing everything he can to run this site to the best of his abilitys....
Send him some paypal donations if u want more speed...
U get what u paid for.. SO QUIT BITCHING
--NetSyN--
Hehe NetSyn you come across as the "defender" of JP here on that post...
The truth is, JP has plenty of cash between the DOD contract and from his ads he displays. Its not cash he needs. Louie and I have explained that the problem is with the database, not the bandwidth. I am not bitching, I am waiting patiently until the database is switched back over to the faster one, which will come when the new server is up and running.
To all those who are experienceing slow speeds, just be patient and wait. Oh, and save your dimes and nickels, JP doesn't need em... :)
Yeah cause JP owes me $63,000 for being Chat Nazi for last year!!!!!!
HAHA!! :)
Louie you still are
not too slow for me. i'm on 56k, using MSIE 6 =)
I just dont see a point in complaing or dissc. something that is going to be fixed as soon as possible... all it is doing is wasteing more space on the database your already calling laggy...
helping and hurting... which are you doing?
It seemed like a posted a topics very similiar to this and got flamed by some.
Figured I would find an old thread and bring it back to life on this matter. Is it just me or is AO been being slow since the weekend started? Just wondering if there is a server problem (since things are being changed over) or what?
I thought maybe it was either my router being weird or maybe my Adelphia cable, but I came to work and it's still slow (I'm on a T1 connection here). So just wondering if anyone else is having the same "slowness" with AO lately?
I havnt had a problem dealing with a slowing down but as of yesterday afternoon i am having problems with the banner,gifs,smilies AP's even the edit posts etc showing up its kind of annoying and hope it gets fixed soon anyone else having that prob as well ? i PM'd JupMan to see if there was a prob going on .. but havnt received a reply as of yet =\
Yeah that's pretty much my big problem here at work is the images, maybe there is an issue with the image server again. I kind of remember JP talking about that a little while back, who knows. Maybe JP gave up and just just piecing the server parts out now so he can get to the waremer weather faster ;-)
