it seems like the forum is getting really really slow to load. it dont seem to have the snap it used to. (could be my end but everywhere else i go loads faster)

i notice in the who is online thing you have the damn "Baidu Spider" running amuck, and from my experience when them bastards would crawl my site the place slowed to a horrid crawl if not just quit working. banning Baidu got things back to normal
