What's with the forums? Every day this week in the afternoon (3-5PM EST, maybe more) the forums freeze up and I can't connect, and neither can many of the people I've talked to. What's going on? Can it be the ICQ thingy? If it is, I vote we just drop it, how many have used it anyway?

Mao, I share your grief. I am having the same problems. You actually beat me to this thread, I was going to start my own as soon as I could get back on. If it is the icq button, I vote to drop it too. I have the icq's i use on my list. Others I will look at the profile.

I too have had problems EVERY AFTERNOON this week. I've also received tons of emails and icqs saying the same thing... So it isn't my connection. I've had NO PROBLEM with any other site except for this one.
Maybe it is the new hacks... or maybe something else... but it should be looked into!
And thank goodness that isn't my jobKeep on Civin'
RIP rah, Tony Bogey & Baron O

I thought I was the only one !!!
My computer actually froze up 2x in forums this week or so. - I have McAffee Anti-crash so I was able to revive things both times, but had to pull out of forums.
As far as I can tell - it seems to happen when the advert. links appear. Have the ugo.com people added anything to some of their ads.. eg. a new type of flash or something?
Could DanQ or MarkG look into this & report back?
It really is irritating.
Thankyou in advance!

Interesting. Two or three times this past week, during the slowdowns, the ads have come up as broken links--not that I'm complaining...
This warrants looking into.
No, I did not steal that from somebody on Something Awful.

Connection speed is not an issue here. I have been running about 7.5M and this problem brings my connection to its knees. As soon as I enter the Apolyton forums, it dies and as soon as I exit them it picks back up. The ads are a major part of the problem. When data is getting hung up at the server or only getting pushed out at 12k, that is all you will be able to receive it at. Something the ISDN, DSL, Cable, etc advocates often forget to mention.
