I have messaged Jim about the site slowness
Not sure when he will see it though as he doesn't check the email address that often.

shareThe Politics forum is to blame for the slowness. And Democrat Clintons are behind it:

For about the last week the site has been very slow, or non-functional. A few times it's just timed out, and a few times the screen has suddenly gone to a warning message that MovieChat is "an unauthorized site" and might be infecting my computer with a virus. I hope this gets fixed soon.
share5:40 p.m. U. S. West Coast time and it's working pretty well but on this thread I don't see a box to reply to the whole thread so am just replying to the last comment.
shareSite has been slow and hard to get to the last week at least. After you said you emailed Jim I had to check my calendar and make sure this wasn't somehow an April Fool's joke. We all know Jim was replaced by an AI like Microsoft's Clippy several years ago.
shareYou guys are so spoiled. Did none of you live through the days of 28.8K dial-up modems?

Don't bring back those nightmare memories, please.
shareI remember an episode of the Computer Chronicles where a man was about to give up on the internet because it was so slow. As such, he was offered to become a beta tester of cable modems. 😜

I remember waiting up to 5 hours for a movie to load (on a good day with no disconnections) :(
shareYou clearly are the “Jim Whisperer.” Your PM to him about the struggling server issues brought him out of a 6 year hibernation. Now, can we get you to send him a PM with our consensus top 10 suggested site improvements while we still have his attention?
shareI'm still waiting for him to reply to my reply asking for one for the Mods lol.
shareI had a 14.4k!
