Anyone Else Having Problems?

Anyone else having trouble with the site here? I've been having problems logging in, going to posts and making posts. Keeps saying the server is busy and connection problems.

SPIRITHAWK. Right this minute it's working fine, I think. I've had trouble posting, even going to threads for quite a while. All other sites are fine. I think MATT has been working to correct it last I heard. POWDERMAN.  :o :o

Yes.  I always have troule getting on.  The worst thing of bringing the site to life is the dadburn Chevrolet pop ups.  I realize we nees sponsors, but do they need to be so intrusive and troublesome?  It's difficult to navigate without "x-ing" out those dern commercials.  If I were to chose another truck, it for sure would not be a Chevrolet becaue of the aggravating pop ups.  They represent nothing other than one more click to get rid of them.  Even so, if you X 'em out, they come right back when you go anywhere else on the site.
I suspect that a forum this large needs an endoresement, and advertising, but why  must they be so intrusive?  Why can't they simply show their product as a headliner, something that comes up at the beginning of the thread that does not have to be killed by the person wanting to read or post?  To me, the bother of the commercials is a definite reason to never buy a Chevrolet.  It seems to me, that a sponsor should be more subtle--they should not pop up at every change of screen, which serves only to turn the viewer off of Chevrolet. 
This site is in serious need of repair concerning commercials.

Nope, still going on.
Just had the problem.
No big deal.
Matt will get it fixed asap.
 
As far as the pop ups, I don't even notice them.
They are there but I just don't seem to notice them.
I just scroll past them to the posts!
It's a great site and someone has to pay for it.
A lot of us do what we can but it takes more $$$ then that to keep it up & running.
I have no problem with them as long as they are not from THE LIAR IN THE WHITEHOUSE:( :o
I think that would be an insult and about all it would take to get me to leave the site!!!  ;D

I have been having problems also. Slow to get on the site most of the time and pages slow to load some of the time after you do. Once in awhile when clicking on a link I get a white page that says "Forbidden, you do not have permission to view this page". I go back and then return and it loads. Once in awhile when a page loads it's white with a bunch of stuff I have no idea what is but if you scroll far enough you can read the post. Go to another page and it's normal.  ???

I don't even pay any attention to the Chevy ad. I just read above it. Now if it were a picture of Obama I would get a little upset.  ;D

I have faith that Matt will get things working good again so I haven't complained and won't.

Advertising is killing the internet just like it did television. Every increase in speed and capacity is designed to allow more layers of advertising so that, on purpose or accidentally, if you make a click on one they make money. They put things in front of you, that you don't want to see, that are taking up your computers useability and you are paying for it. I'm refering to the Microsofts and Apples that make the operateing systems. ear

I've been having spotty problems similar to yours. They seem to go away if I wait 5 or 10 minutes.

Do you guys realize how many visitors come here to browse around ?  Just because they are not on
one thread doesn't mean they are not flocking to somewhere else here. That's what I mean when I
say the world is watching us here .
