And only this forum. Everywhere else on the internet is just fine.
Takes me about 5 seconds for anything to load on this site or have any action be done, like posting, but this is the only forum I have that issue on.
There also seems to be specific times where I am the only one that can't connect here at all too, at around 5-7 PM Central time, but everyone else I know can just fine, which again only happens to me on this forum and only this forum.
Anyone have idea what could be causing this? It's clear it's on my end but I have no idea what's causing it.
The site occasionally goes down and, indeed, it sometimes takes a few seconds for a page to fully load. However, the core parts of the pages load instantly, it's just the side stuff that takes a bit to load. Concerning how popular this forum is, I think it's just to be expected. Unlike Solomid, Corvo, this forum is a lot more under strain.
MCF gets an absurd amount of traffic (far more than you might think, I honestly didn't believe it until citric showed the stats himself) and it is very difficult to deal with it all.
Many other sites that get this kind of traffic also have issues dealing with it (due to a mix of the traffic itself, the cost of upgrading the servers vs. how much money is being made, among other things). It's just a fact of the matter.
Time of day/year will also affect this as well, with a large chunk of users being registered in the US and it being summer vacation, so the site is going to be hammered a lot more than normal.

That's the part that's bothersome, because 10 minutes ago I couldn't connect to this site at all, but other people I know could.
Could it be an ISP problem? Firewall? I'm at a loss.
Alright so I understand the traffic thing, but there's still one other detail I'm kind of confused on.

Most likely it is your wifi router's connection or your ISP, Firewall wouldn't block you since you haven't proved a threat to the MC Forums. Perhaps try refreshing your wifi, (turn it all off then back on) If that doesn't help your issue with not being able to connect here, then you are most likely unable to connect because of the absurd amount of users/traffic that is going on here at the time.
God then what the hell am I on. You people and your internet speeds and complaining so much. Go to Africa and go complain about it to them see how they feel.
