This site loads too slowly; Needs an upgrade

Everyone can agree that they enjoy this site and wish to continue using it. But I can tell the servers that are being used for this site are really sub-par. It takes an extreme amount of time to load anything, and if you try to load too many things at once on this site, it crashes and makes you wait up to 5 minutes. I don't mean to be critical but the server really needs to be changed or needs to be upgraded. The load time for the site is a big turn off and very annoying at times.

But upgrading or changing requires money. Of course the owners of this site are letting us register and use the site for free, so they are paying out of their own pockets. As users, we should donate some, at least a little bit, to help upgrade the servers for our own benefit.

Thanks.

EDIT
Had to stare at the loading symbol for 20 seconds, waiting for this post to be made. Annoying ;p

Same problem here, and I thought it was just me/my old computer. Of all the AM/XF sites out there, I think this is by far the best one, with the largest membership. But the response times are way too long. If not donations, then the site needs to somehow generate revenue to afford a more powerful server and bandwidth increase.

Havin same prob

needs vi4gra

It would be better if the admin can add CloudFlare (can be found in cpanel) to speed things up which helps make the site load faster by using other peoples data speeds to boost up the loading.
