Often times (Such as now), the site is really slow. The website has grown over the years and there is now much more traffic.

I see the site go down temporarily several times a day. Think its time to upgrade?

The web servers. There is lot of people using the site and their servers cant handle it. It ends up slowing it down.

Alright, I got it...

You think this will ever go into effect?

Yes, I also think they should get different servers. Often times, I wait 5-10 minutes just to get to my profile. Although, I understand how hard it is for them to do something like that. Considering this site is kinda new. So, I suggest everyone use the latest version of Firefox. I am currently using Google Chrome because Firefox is failing to work. If Firefox messes up for us... God help us all.

I do not want this site to change again. I like it just as it is. I do not think it is slow. It is perfect. Armorgames is my life.

I am not having this problem. Do you have the latest Firefox browser, Version 3.0.1? The site actually goes faster and it has a spell-check (Which most people need ;P).

Armor Games could use an upgrade, though.

Believe me, they are definitely looking into this and constantly looking into ways to make the site faster. It gets tricky when you start moving stuff between servers though. But I am sure that as soon as they are able to expand, they will.

Generally it takes around 3 minutes for a game to open, 5 minutes to get to the community, and 2 minutes to open up a thread. However, I'm not sure if the developer even knows what's wrong, or if he does, how to fix it. Wish it would run faster though, does it work good on google chrome?
