well i know that 4 paw members have paid to be here but other than that i dont think there is any money involved. i dont pay anything to be here and after reading this thread i plan on rectifying that. i had no idea really what went into keeping this site running and that money was involved for [MENTION=2]desertskybulldogs[/MENTION] to keep it going. i am going to become a 4 paw member soon [MENTION=2614]Vicaroo1000[/MENTION]. thanks for this slow site thread ( yes mine is painfully slow sometimes i want to hit my computer) i have now had my eyes opened. A huge thankyou to [MENTION=2]desertskybulldogs[/MENTION] for what she does with this site and all the work she puts into it. so if its slow sometimes i will deal as i know she is doing all she can to fix it.

*applause* [MENTION=2291]cowsmom[/MENTION]! That's a call to arms! If you aren't a Four Paw Member - it's time to sign up! This thing is LOADED with features for members - I can't imagine surfing it without membership myself. I'd go crazy. In fact, I tried twice and went (no kidding) "OMG! where do I send the money?" For such a nominal fee you get so much - in my opinion. And you know what opinions are like.....everyone has one!

BTW: it's 5:22 Pacific Standard Time and it took truly almost three minutes to load the "mentions" link I usually click on first when I get here. If I didn't need my A.M. fix of you wonderful people and your fabulous dogs, I'd be surfing some porn site somewhere. OK. Maybe not. But I'd be doing something else. hahahahahahahaha

Oh is that a 4 paw feature? Very cool I am nosy and always wanna know who and for what. haha
[MENTION=2614]Vicaroo1000[/MENTION] dont act like you dont have that porn site open as a 2nd window for when this site is slow. :lol:
Honestly there is sooo much that goes into this forum I wouldnt have thought it either. Lisa puts in so much effort to keep this site up and running as well as it is and all for the love of the pups and us. Not to forget that she has a house FULL of kids and pups to deal with on top of all of us. A job well done indeed!

Ok I will stress this one last time.
I am not saying the owners/mods of this site are not doing their job I am merely stating they are not getting what they are paying for.
Would you like it if you bought a new car and it was only running on all cylinders some of the time?
This is no different.
And these dang service providers will do nothing until you complain enough about it.
If the owners/mods of this site are happy with the lagging then so be it. Personally I do not put up with slow service. If they can not remedy the problem I simply move servers.

[MENTION=1935]heff101[/MENTION] I am sorry if you thought my comment was in any way referring to you? Not one bit. I agree it has been slow and I know she wants this site running as good as possible too. Not sure about that computer mumbo jumbo but we all do know how bad it can be at times.

[MENTION=1935]heff101[/MENTION] - I'm grateful that you pointed out that there are options! It's a fine thing to know that one doesn't have to put up with something that's unacceptable. I love it! I wouldn't have known this had you not pointed it out. I can't imagine that anyone would take that personally.....nah.

[MENTION=390]cali~jenn[/MENTION] - Thank goodness this is still America and what I do with my alternative screens while EBN is loading is my perrogative. (OMG: I just had a Bobby Brown song come flying into my head....ugh!) And by the way, that porn site is also loading slow this morning. Ack!

Thanks to all for their support. If it were up to me, I would switch to a 'better machine' tomorrow. But I need to dedicate a full 48 hours to trying to do such a thing, and also try to schedule it to be offline for as short of time as possible. My other option is to pay someone to do it, which would be sooo expensive. So honestly, I don't know how/when ect. but I will get on the horn with godaddy AGAIN, bitch them out, and that usually helps for a few weeks.

Thank you to all of you, I know it gets frustrating. I have been up in the middle of the morning lately and been online which would be morning for all of you in the East Coast, and I could not believe how slow it was. Sorry! :( I cannot blame you all for getting frustrated!!!! By the time I am up in Arizona it is working pretty quickly for me.

Right now it only takes 2 seconds for a page to load. It is 4:12 Arizona time. It REALLY does depend on the time of day.
