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.

>>I'm sure the dial up guys hate my avatar. ha ha

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.

Dial up friendly avatar's? This forum doesnt allow for big enough avatars, I cant use any of my nice ones because they are all to small!

suxor

works fine in Omaha thou

It must be us Iowan's, Randy! I'm having the same trouble!

What are you doing, uploading feature-length movies as your avatars ?

Weeeew, thanks Mary I was hoping Nick or you would jump in here and back me up. This reminds me of the days of 900-1200 BPS modems, yuck I would kill for 56KB speed right now. It seems my Firefox browser is doing a little better than IE ,but not much. I don't think it is Axiom now, I have hit other websites on the East coast with the same problems, hmmm.

"Dancing Avatar brings down Iowa Internet"

Film at 11...

now I have all the information I need to hack Randy's computer.

Looks like Randy's local ISP is pretty slow, then the next big delay seems to be clearing customs between Chicago and Scarborough (a suburb of Toronto).

Randy, have you switched over to winterized TCP/IP packets yet ? We're getting snow and ice up here you know.

Hello All;

Our hosting provider was having some connection problems in the early hours of October 24th, which resulted in intermittant timeouts and unreachable pages.

I'm taking the tracert results and will forward them to our hosting provider to see if we can resolve the slow response time from Iowa.

Sorry for any inconvenience!

It's very slow loading for me right now too, and I'm not in Iowa. Utah rather, but I am using Qwest, so probably something between them and Axiom's ISP.

?

See guys I'm not crazy. Dave, I am also on Qwest DSL, not sure what Mary is using, but I'm guessing it could be Qwest also. I'll have to try again when I get home.

I still say blame your avatar. I've been trying to figure out what that's from since last night.
