Kev -

This is not the first time we've heard this "...free for now..." quote attributed to you, but I've yet to see (or hear) such an original comment made by you.

Makes me wonder if someone is just trying to make trouble for you or the site - can't accept that a bunch of rogues and scalawags could accomplish so much in so little time. If so, they'll be dissapointed to know there's more where all that came from - at least from me, for the V8 owners.

Kev-

things have gotten much faster now....

thanks for whatever you did.

much better. ;0)

i really didn't mind before, this site was worth waiting for ;0)

Kev,

I've noticed it generally is very slow compared to a little while ago. Also I've noticed in the last day or so the site seems to double/triple up on showing Who's Online. I copied the Who's Online below just before I started this post. Could it be related to the 5 minute refresh you mentioned? Or what?

Again, I'm not posting to criticize, just bringing to light what could/would prevent new users from coming back. After Kev did some altering, it seemed to get better. However, today it has become especially slow again.

I think the problem is related to the fact that it is hosted on a shared server. So during the day when all the website are at peak volume, this is causing a lag. I have requested my provider move me to a server with less volume.

This is the most open, most informative individual marque website that I have encountered as well as containing much content valuable to anyone who is interested in or works on older vehicles. I, personally, know two or three people who own other marques that come here for the general automotive technical knowledge and expertise that is shared here (as in NO other forum) by everyone from purists to hot-rodders, custom builders and those of us who simply use our cars for daily transportation and could never, practically, afford a complete restoration but want to keep them usable and out there for the, "kids," to see, appreciate and, just maybe, take an interest in.

As for me, I cannot accurately state just how much I appreciate this site, all of its contributors and the tremendous time and effort that Kev puts into it. Convenience is nice but I would, literally, wait a day for certain info available here (and few other accessible places) to load.

Your recent, "adjustments," seem to have helped, Kev.

Thanks.
