wincusomize.com............the snail of the internet
Wednesday, October 1, 2008 by supershaft1961 | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
am i the only one with this problem? when i click my shortcut for wincustomize.com, i can go and make a cup of tea while i wait for the site to load in. no i am not on on dial up, i have 8mb broadband. when i browse skins and themes the pages are just as slow. then i saw the avertisment "buy a wincustomize subscription.......blah blah de blah blah.......many benefits including....blah blah.......no advertisements meaning faster page loading.....blah blah". so i bought a subscription. pages load just as slow as before.........yes i did install the wincustomize browser, the problem is this is worse than internet explorer and firefox 3.
anyone else pi**ed off at the speed of the wincustomize website?

Yeah, it was so slow earlier that I watched a lame tortoise overtake...
Then I heard that one person has yesterday's pages loading today, it's that slow... and I thought I had it bad. 
Yeah, that's about the strength of it, WC can be slower sometimes due to site changes, but it's intermittant and nowhere like the site rebuild of a couple of years ago. For the most part it is pretty good, so I'm not complaining.

The speed comes and goes...... but I happen to know that the site is undergoing major changes and things might be a little slow in certian periods
This is very correct. There are a great deal of changes being updated through several portions of the Stardock sites. What browsers are at work here?

I'm using FF, but generally the speed is quite good and disruptions are far and few between.
I did, however, send a PM yesterday but it the intended recipient didn't get it, so I'm guessing is disappeared into cyber space somewhere. No harm done though, I ended up covering everything in an email that I was going to send anyway.

Wasn't me... if choclatey treasures wos involved I be guessing that woulda bin Fuzzy. Still went to tha wrong person, tho.. I reckuns that wur meant fer Bebi, knowin' that thar Fuzzy like I do.
As for the speed, right now it's pretty quick... like greased lightning buttered on both sides.

I'd prefer Bebi buttered on both sides...

I use WC browser and find it to be slow as hell. Sometimes, I even have to go into the task manager and shut it down because it doesn't respond.

As you would... tho I don't think you'd be permitted to apply it.

Fuzzy being one of them... everyone here, including Bebi, knows that he was a dirty old man at a very young age... and has improved little with it. 
Never mind, Fuzzy, we all think you're sweet... just remember to keep filling up on those chocolatey treasures and you'll be alright.

There were some servers issues at various times yesterday, but they were quickly addressed and all should be good now.
