In my opinion I think the site is running incredible slow and this is because of Sonny 2 so maybe we should get rid of the lower ranking games maybe below 3/10 and this could make the site quicker. If this is not a plausible idea how will you be able to fix it because the site is running way to slow for my liking.

Well, we can't just take out those games because they are low ranking. It isn't fair to those developers to just take their game out. The site is running fine for me, so it might be your computer, or whatever you have on it. To be completely honest, no one is going to change this because it doesn't fit YOUR liking.

Well I have saw a few people mentioning the site being slow, maybe the site moderators could put a vote on the site between 10 games and the users decide what game goes.

Ouch. Burn.

I had this problem too. The site was running incredibly slow. So what I did was switch from Mozilla Firefox to Internet Explorer for a little while. That made the site run faster for me. Then when went back to Firefox things were better.

Lately the site has gotten better than it was.

Just know that when a game is put here, it stays here. Unless it is breaking a rule. If its not it will NOT be removed.

Haha, it's too early in the morning for me to moderate. I'm kinda cranky D:

I have always used IE, so maybe you should switch to it. The only problem was, that Sonny was getting alot of traffic. That has gone down now, so the site should be running normally. And taking away the bottom 10 games wouldn't help because they don't generate any traffic at all, thus not making the site any faster.

Maybe you should check things on your end...

a) Do you have FireFox? Try it out and see if things run faster
b) Did you clear the Internet cache/cookies/history? Files store up on your computer and they can bog it down, try clearing them
c) Upgrading RAM might help, but that's a wee bit extreme in this case
d) Clear unwanted files from your computer or clear the spyware on your system
e) Upgrade your Internet speed

In all my months of coming to ArmorGames I have never once experienced the phenomenon of AG "slowing down". It's always run at the same pace for me...

Yes that would be a downside MrTim and that is why I would want to think of another solution now.

Okay, as people have said, it's your computer/browser. I would recommend Google Chrome and buying a new laptop/computer.

I use Google Chrome, and it is extremely fast. The site loads in 2.52 seconds, clocked. Although my computer is pretty new.

Oh hush, it's only a wee bit slow because of Winter Break =)
Some 180+ users on the forums at once, and who knows how much more playing games on the website.

The site has little to no traffic at all in the nocturnal side of the forums, if you catch my drift. Join the raccoons @ 4:00 AM and you'll never have site sickness ever again! ^>^ There's only like 40 users browsing at that time of night.

It was only slow a few days ago, when S2 was new. But now it seems fine for me. :S Check your internet...
