My forums at http://juicedsportsblog.com/forums seem pretty slow and unresponsive some of the time, much more so that the rest of my site, so I'm wondering if there's anything I can to speed them up, like caching, or something?
The forums get like 600-700 pageviews a day, but the rest of the webstie doesn't seem to be slowed by the bandwidth...
it's my first time to see a sitemap section in a forum. what is it for? is it really necessary? no, I don't think so. look at those anchored numbers there - they're not playing any role there except clutter your forum and consume more bandwith. so I suggest you get rid of it. I don't say it's the real culprit but your forum would be better without it.
