Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion The Water Cooler Forums "Slow Response" tonight?

Anybody else experiencing a very sluggish response on the Axiom forums tonight? I'm having no troubles with other websites I frequent, just Axiom.

It's your new avatar causing your problems.

Yeah, I was going to start one of those petitions collecting signatures asking for dial-up friendly avatars

Not here big guy. My DSL connection is blazing fast.... I'm sure the dial up guys hate my avatar. ha ha

Tonight seems okay, last night there was a period of a couple hours that I could not connect to the home site or the forum.

Once it's cached we like it just fine, but until then...

The forums were definitely down or unreachable for a while yesterday, along with the main axiomaudio.com site.

There has to be something going on tonight between Iowa and Axiom. I just performed a Ping and Trace Route and am getting many * (request timed out) entries.
