Moved to Newer, Better, and Faster Servers! (by Andres)

@Andres: Dont know if its just me, but site pages seem to be a little slower than normal to load. Best way I can describe it is.....I hit, say, "Todays posts", and it seems to take longer before the page "catches" and loads....after it actually starts to load, its quick....just the time between clicking something and the page beginning to load seems longer. And its not an issue on other sites.
same here
This is very important feedback, so thanks for pointing it out. Since the Servers we're on are definitely faster than the previous ones, this can only be explained by a lack of optimization. I'm going to be following up with our host (Rackspace) these next few days to fully optimize the new servers so that the site works even faster than before with all the new hardware we got.

I'll post here once there's an update regarding the optimizations so you guys can tell me whether you notice a difference or not.

I thought maybe the issue might be phones without cookies, but I tested logging in and posting a poll without cookies and it worked fine. So let's see if anyone else reports this issue because I can't replicate it on my end, so it might just be your phone.

Hi Folks, just wanted to follow up on this issue to say the site slowness should finally be resolved now (as of a few days, in fact). So please let me know if the site is working at least as quickly as before, or if still feels like it's still dragging its feet.

Thanks!
