I think it's a conspiracy. Eddie is on to something so the CIA and MI5 are trying to shut this site down.
I really like how this site takes the piss by displaying "Posting Quick Reply - Please wait." I am waiting ya piece of ****. Mick, cut out the google api and analytics ****e, as well all that other rubbish you seem to have running. It's dragging the site down. It's a forum for FFS. All it needs is XHR calls to the sites own backend and **** all else.
Mick, if you want to raise cash to pay for a bigger server, you could set up a shop area where users could buy special privileges e.g.: £5 - donate symbol next to user name £50 - moderator status £100 - ability to ban other users £500 - ability to see and create tags
