Around noon EDT I thought the site went down. I got a gateway error for about 15 minutes and figured this might be it for agnostic.com, for good. Like Jeebus, the site "Has Risen"
I'm amazed this site still exists at all. Whoever owns it seems to have lost interest in it years ago but is still paying the hosting and domain fees.
Admin could've passed away. I hope not, but it's possible.
I am kinda sure the site is using an extremely poor web site hosting service... probably at very low cost or maybe some form of homemade DIY hosting... probably can't handle more than 4 or 5 hits at once so it slows way down to a crawl and your browser finally times out? I have noticed how slow it responds and how many folks will keep hitting the submit button that results in multiple duplicate posts.... logging off and waiting a few minutes may help to clear up some traffic or posting at night when traffic is low?
I've gotten gateway erors or time outs. They do seem to have been getting more frequent. Some days are fine with no problems and then other days it seems to happen half a dozen times. I think as the site has gotten older it has gotten slower and less responsive.
One day it will stay a gateway error.
Always figured it was my cheap wifi. Or cheap nook, cheap web site, well.....something cheap.
I have gotten that gateway error of late. I'm also sure our posts are not updating our membership levels.
I an sure you are right as I experience the same
