Is this happening to anyone else?

Every page takes about 20-30 seconds to load.

Its not my internet connection cuz I only have this issue on this website.

I don’t have any problems. Sometimes a single ISP can have a bad connection to the servers.

Try this. Open a Windows command prompt, and type: “tracert [gbfans.com](http://gbfans.com)”

Then post it here. You can also run a “ping [gbfans.com](http://gbfans.com)” and that will determine if everything is getting through and how fast the connection is.

Site’s been running fine for me all day, but at the same time I’ve had days where I couldn’t get onto the forum at all… yet the problem was only being experience by me.

The network guys looked into it and didn’t find any issues with the link.

Are you still having problems?

A trace was run back to your ISP from the server and it was timing out.

Most likely an issue with your ISP. Not sure why GBFans would be the only thing affected, but it looks like it happens on a handoff between Verizon and [Above.net](http://Above.net).

Odd…

In any case things seem to be working fine now.
