In addition to MASHS and VAF, this is another group in the DC area for swordsmanship:

Hmm...the link didn't work for me.  Probably because the sniffers haven't blocked it yet.  lol

[Sir James A]

Works for me, but took a good 20-ish seconds to start loading on a fairly decent high speed connection.

[Sir Edward]

It loads slowly for me too, but we have a slow connection here at work for some reason.

But this is really telling, down at the bottom of the page: "155 queries. 3.728 seconds. "

Yikes. 155 queries to load the front page? With a 3.7 second generation time? The slowness is on their end, for sure, and probably stemming from all those database hits.

[Sir William]

Hmm...still get the cannot display message.  Ah well, have to check this and the A&A page out tonight if I can get on.

[Sir Wolf]

To put this in perspective, the forum here is entirely database driven, and the front page of it reports this: "Page created in 0.057 seconds with 11 queries." And viewing this thread I see: "Page created in 0.062 seconds with 18 queries."
