534155 2007-03-19 00:20:00 I get an enormous lag with this site. Why? Others aren't like this.
Can't even tell you what it is as when I ping www.pressf1.co.nz it times out.
Weird as I got here.
Actually pinging 210.48.11.45 times out too.

Ping for Google is:

Average 250ms

534160 2007-03-19 01:52:00 I get the ads causing it to hang from time to time, Especially on my backup comp (a celery 800) which struggles with all the......uh.......colorful media, Otherwise known as visual spam. I would imagine the site is unusable for dial-ups, Still, Its all about money at the end of the day. Metla (12)
534161 2007-03-19 01:55:00 Edit post takes a long time and times I cancel and redo.
Posting a msg is better than a quick reply as well.

yeah - unfortunately pressf1 is incredibly slow to load and even times out on dial up - we have 3 friends that are on dial-up (they physically cant get woosh or BB so they have to have dial-up) and they browse pressF1 every now and then - but they have almost stopped that because it takes so long for it to load ( we have 3.5mb BB here at work and it still lags and takes a fair bit to load too)

I added ad . doubleclick . net to my restricted or blocked sites in my host files area, and don't get the lag .

I also don't see too many problems except when Upsidedown Land forgets to feed the rat on the wheel .

Really . . the load times have been very fast of late for me .

534164 2007-03-19 04:31:00 Slow Trev?
I push started it with the tractor, but it still conked out. I think the dog musta bit it's goolies or something to make it limp along so much.
It was better before they messed with the clock.
See ya in the boozer.
