Whenever you're experiencing a slow forum, it's always worth checking the forum page processing time.
Down the bottom of the page - any page, every page on the forum has it - you'll see a little sentence that says "It took [x period of time] to rattle this change". That's the forum page processing time. "Normal" is less than a second. If this number is in the "normal" range and you're still experiencing slowness, then it's a general Internet speed issue, rather than a forum-specific one.
In this case, right now, for me it says "It took 24.2 seconds to rattle this change.", and another page I just opened up says 36.62 seconds, so this indicates there is actually an issue with the forum, which I believe Bobby is aware of and attempting to iron out. There was an issue a few days ago with pages crashing and giving the "Nothing to see here" error message. I think it may all be symptoms of the same issue.
Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis
