This forum is waaaay to slow help is on the way!

Not to support this guy's obvious self-promoting, but this forum is HORRIBLY slow at times.
The solution ? Better hosting with more hardware power and bandwidth, to be financed by ads on this forum.
If anyone has a better idea I'm all ears.
That being said, I love the technical side of this forum except for the speed, I've been on many forums but this one has some features I really wish every other forum had...

No need for ads, satoshi has the funds. The issue is that he went AWOL.

PLEASE for the love of posting quicker try out my new forum
http://bitcoin.forumotion.com/

It's a free one and I make no money off the banner ads those aren't mine and I don't encourage you to click them but please try it our this site is overwhelmed and that is why..I believe why people don't post as much as they should..there are unanswered questions out there just for this page to load almost took me 7 minutes!

You're way to full of spam.

He's on a beach somewhere, enjoying the riches of this currency he created.  I guess you could say he's an "early adopter" lol.

The reason this forum is so slow is because it is getting DDoSed.

If your Forumotion forum is going to get a similar amount of DDoS, Forumotion is just going to kick you off their service.

Any idea who is behind it?

It is the Russians! Or LulzSec! Or Anonymous! Or the CIA! Or China! Or the FED!

(I think that covers all the standard speculative sources...)

Don't believe anything you read on these forums about attacks and hackers. Almost all of it is noise and nonsense!

Seeing as a considerable amount of Bitcoin-related sites was being attacked (I believe Mt. Gox had to turn to Prolexic?), it appears to be a person or group that doesn't want Bitcoin to exist.
Probably not Anonymous, probably not Lulzsec either, maybe a bank/government agency, but for all you know it may be one single person who owns a large botnet and just happens to dislike Bitcoin. There's not really a way to tell.

Those groups get way too much credit. 

I'd guess that it's someone trying to drive the price down to buy low.

I'm telling you it was the Milk Road, the notorius international Amish crime syndicate ! Those guys will make you spill the milk !
