The forum is loading fine and dandy in my neck of the woods - even (dare I say it) faster than usual.

Downloading games, however, is another story, it's painfully slow and keeps timing out (despite broadband) but that's ok - I'll just wait a few days then try again I s'pose.

Until then, I shall go a click some ads :)

Two days ago this page loaded in 6 seconds, yesterday it was 31 seconds. Today it's 27 seconds. Also, you can load a review page in 10 seconds, then go to the forum where the page takes 45 seconds or a reload to get to the bottom of the first page. You can then go to the homepage in 'normal time' then click on one of the games listed on the home page and never get to the review page because of timeouts, etc This can all happen in the space of 10 minutes.

Over 40 kbytes/s over here and the forum loads like a bullet. It depends on the location or something, but this is definitely being solved already. :) After demanding information from the admins, I guess it's time to start sympathizing with them because all the hard and altruistic work they've had to perform to sort this out. So congrats and THANKS to all the admins. :beer:

PS I hope it doesn't go back. I mean all the way --some additional maintenance bandwidth usage would be understandable.

I agree that it is better, but something is going on when you get the whole of this page except the last message (yours Japofran) loading in 20 seconds and then it takes 15 seconds for the last message/end of page to appear!

Random reasons. And I guess that there being limited bandwidth, once you click and your request is accepted by Ab's server, you get just so much data until your browser has to request again and wait for acceptance.

I find it rather shocking that a DDos attack has gone on for this long without the situation being resolved....Abandonia is still running slow as mud. HOpe things get better soon, its taking me forever to download transport Tycoon deluxe :D

Well, today 85 seconds and 90% page loaded but not completing. So gave up and reloaded page. this time whole page loaded in 20 seconds. So something is still happening, don't know what it is that makes the last 10% of a forum page take so long! :(

It's fast for me!! WOoooo!!!

54 seconds load just now to see this page.....! Ughhhh!

In the last three days it was ok for me! ^_^
