Has anyone noticed that things appear to be rather slow over here? Threads which normally would fill up before I even would have a chance to add my $0.02 worth, are hardly getting a nibble. The hot threads which are filling up, are doing so over the period of a few days instead of several hours. I've noticed this inactivity across other gun boards as well.

Since this appears to be wide spread, I'm just wondering if we lost a major part of the country with regard to connectivity and members can't connect not only to TFL but to other boards as well.

Has anyone else noticed this? Any ideas as to what might be going on?

I noticed it and thought that a whole bunch of folks must have sold their computers to buy duck decoys or a new treestand or something. We know they weren't watching the Olympics. They'll be back. Later, John

FUD, Seems everything in the conference center is slow. I cannot access the legal forum at all. It freezes up at 39%. Is this just an awful coincidence, or something more sinister? Ray

I didn't mean slow as in connectivity, but slow in the sense that all of this week a lot of the boards aren't as active as they were in the past -- not only on TFL but other gun boards as well.

Maybe everyone is trying to get as much shooting in as they can before the bad weather hits.
