Just want to note, it seems the forum is responding fast again and all seems to be well.

Thanks to Joel for this return to the prior performance, and to others that I am not aware of that seemed to have fixed things.

If a person does 100 things, which 99 of them are right and 1 thing wrong, it seems that everyone dwells on the 1 and not on the other 99.

Glad to see that things appear to be back to normal.

I strongly suspect that the problem was the overloaded database server all along. I'm guessing it was limping along in bad shape, then finally died, forcing a fix or replacement.

Put simply, I'd guess things got better because DreamHost ran out of excuses and just fixed the damn thing.

But I could be wrong. I only have ten years in the industry.
