Why is MN running so slw tonight?

[SuperB0F]

It is taking an age to load threads

Dreadful isn't it?

Really bad tonight

I think perhaps they havent paid the electric bill and they are having to crank it by hand.

I keep being directed to an error page. When I do manage to load a link it's very slow.

I assumed it was just me

Perhaps now the Olympics have finished we are all back on here and it can't cope with the traffic?

Seriously, MN is the only site on the whole interweb I frequent that is OFTEN 'offline' or running slow. Tis v perplexing.

HQ you need to clear your desktop or defrag your computer or something

It's all the whinging on the Philips thread holding things up :o

Tis very bad. I might have to go to bed.

Will get Tech to turn it on and off again

Oh I thought it was my laptop

Someone feed the hamster!

I thought it was just my reception! Whenever I try and post something I have to try three or four times. Is it MN or the weather? My computer has a message saying 'the site may be overloaded'. Not at all sure now...

I'm barely able to load any pages. Do you think they're 'doing work'?

It thought it was my reception, then thought I'd maybe been banned for being an annoying twat, then noticed the twitter/fb logos had jumped into the mn logo, so, I've deduced that Mrs Scarlet did it, in the kitchen, with the candlestick.

I thankyou

So it's not my laptop?
Happy now

Excellent! I have rebooted several times and considered sidling over to net mum's to check out their speediness..

Oh thank god, I thought it was just me!

Oh! I thought it was my twatphone. I even got bumped off and had to log in again, bugger all is loading, keep getting 'unable to connect'. Am on the App, so gremlins there too! Know it's not the twatphone now as fb is fine.

I was blaming DH for using up all of the bandwidth IN THE WORLD yes perhaps IWBU and it turns out he was innocent... Oh the injustice!

Seems to be a lot better all of a sardine.

Running slow again tonight? Have deleted the app and reinstalled about three times as it keeps freezing? Might have to do something constructive if I can't mn

I'm running slow too [looks sternly at Tech]

This is no good. I had a free pass to MN as the sodding football was on and MN kept crashing.

I didn't want to watch the football. It made my eyes burn.
