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

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

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.

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.

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."
