About the slowness: Yes, vpsBoard gets DDoSed all the time. It was quite unbearably slow last night due to some DDoS. Fran has also mentioned he'll be tuning their MySQL server again soon so that should help the performance when posting. I did buy CloudFlare Pro, though not for 'protection', it was more to speed things up for our visitor base. BuyVM is great, but the Las Vegas location, geographically speaking, is not ideal for this forums visitor base. Introduced CloudFlare to hopefully speed things up for those overseas, but I will be canceling my subscription to it as it doesn't seem to be helping much, was disabled 4 hours after I paid the invoice due to DDoS, and fucks up the JS on the site from time to time. Right now it's just hosting the DNS. I will be seeking other options for serving content to everyone else.
acd, I have no way of doing that. Would have to be custom coded but sounds like a cool feature and would most certainly be helpful

All that mini Ajax requests heavily depend on latency. But looking to the loading times:

You should think about merging and moving the css/js files to another box. Or at least try to serve them on static files and not through php.

Yeah that's the fools DDoS'ing the site usually.
Site has been good for me since I got to catching up a few hours ago. Was really bad past few days....

I haven't noticed it that much, it could be because I'm in another timezone and read/posts when most of the americans are sleeping or doing better things.
Personally the LV location isn't that good because of the natural latency I have cross the globe but I'll survive.
One new thing that I would like this board to have is more members, when reading posts from yesterday and earlier I see the same "old" people posting.
It would be nice with a new friendly face sometimes. Invite your friends, enemys ....

Yeah, I'll look more into how to improve the performance on the board so everything runs more smoothly. BuyVM offers affordable protection against DDoS, which was (and continues to be) an issue for us. Though I do agree that Las Vegas, geographically speaking, isn't the best location for our visitor base. My main concern at this point is staying online and doing so at a low cost, performance, while very important, has to come second right now.
