Myspace is so damn slow

    How can a site with as much traffic as Myspace be so slow? Especially seeing how its owned by a company with a ton of money, don't you think it should have enough money for decent servers?

    They are a bit silly. But MySpace probably isn't one of there biggest money earners hence the lesser attention paid with servers and what not

    Depends on a ton of things....

    Users, Amount of Servers they have, Their Traffic, the Popularity of the Site, etc. etc..

    Also the amount of Server Attacks (DDOS) that seem to be going on at any one time...

    Sites get slow, a few of them I go to everyday once in awhile just get slow, your ISP may also be having problems and that makes your connection *Slow*...


    :D

    I never said it was FAST before. The amount of "Server Too Busy" and error messages have been on the increase the last week, in my experience. :cool:
