Is it just me, or do pages for Playing Card Forum sometimes load VERY slowly?
Right now it seems to be working okay, but often the pages load much more slowly than any other website, especially when you browse directly to a specific URL on the site, for example like this:
http://www.playingcardforum.com/index.php?topic=11977
Edit: Slow again. When I entered playingcardforum.com in my browser just now, it must have taken 10-15 seconds to load.

In my corner of the planet, it's loading within a couple of seconds. Perhaps you're having a localized issue with Internet service?

I wondered that too Don. But I'm on a very high speed fiber optic service, so while it's possible, it doesn't seem likely. Unless it is an issue with the DNS server I'm using - I'd need to do some troubleshooting with other DNS servers to test that.
Playingcardforum.com is literally the only website where I have experienced this. And it's been quite consistent that way, for quite some time.
That's why I figured I'd post about it, to see if anyone else has noticed similar issues at all over the last couple of months. If I'm the only person, it's more likely to be a localized issues, but if anyone else is experiencing something similar, then it might be a larger problem.
Perhaps if others can chime in whether they have noticed anything or whether this is a non-issue for them, that will help me narrow down whether or not it's a localized issue that is affecting me only.

Less than 1 second from click to new page for me. Relatively instant.

It can also make a difference in that a) we're on just the one server unlike something like Google or Facebook, and b) you're logging in from the other side of the world using a connection that's packet-based rather than than dedicated.
