for some reason this website is running very slow on my computer. This site and myspace are the only two that give me a problem. I give less then a F*CK about myspace. Is this a problem with my isp or maybe a setting in my firewall of something?

What does

tracert n00bfest.com

or

tracert 69.73.138.227

say?

All the content on the forums (unless it's people's sigs that are slowing the page down for you) is hosted from that IP so you connection to that is really all that matters.

The only external content other than the sigs are the random banners and stuff for the servers (like on the server pages) and the app for the vent monitor. But you're talking about the forums right?

what should I be looking for when I do that?

the time it takes to ping off that IP

start
run
cmd

cd desktop
tracert n00bfest.com > tracert.txt

let it run, and open the file on your desktop called "tracert.txt" and paste the contents here.

Maybe your GPU is going out?

there are times when n00bfest.com runs slow for me. i think it has to do with internet traffic (rush hour) and possibly the website sever running slow from time to time.

n00bfest.com always gets slow when there's a massive influx of blog posts and twitter/facebook updates which only serve to clog up the internet.

Also, I've been trying to eat this bag of Sun Chips for 45 minutes now, but every time I try to eat one, my phone rings and I have to put it back down.

Also also, new power supply.

Well I told a lie, it isnt just n00bfest its all web pages, I havent had any probs in game but after browsing a page fo a while it just starts slowing down and then I get the good ole internet explorer cannot display this page

spyware?

new power supply? I don't know but some times only certain sites will be really F*CKING slow for me too. But that has stopped happening to me latley, and I'm pretty sure it was my ISP cause I had tried resting my router and modem.

I dont know what the deal is with this shit. My isp had an outage last night (they said a linkage went bad or some shit) and I was kinda hoping that was my problemo but it was not. My web pages start off loading fine then all of a sudden it just starts taking forever to load and I have to stop it and refresh it a few times to finally get it to load. Ive already set internet explorer back to its default setting to see if it was perhaps an add on doing this. I have ran spybot, ad aware and avg and the havnt found anything. I have used IE for years so dont go telin me its a POS and I should use firefox or mozilla. I am gonna DL firefox and see if it fixes the problem. ANy suggestions or ideas?
