Hunt Chat Excruciatingly Slow?

I don't frequent Hunt Chat that often but, at least over the last couple of months or so, I have found it to be excruciatingly slow. Has anyone else experienced this problem? I have not noticed this problem with any of the other boards I frequent.

I have gotten the database issue several times in the last month, however, it has not been noticeably slow besides that for me. I suggest clearing you cache just in case (it worked for me on a blacksmithing board I am on)

Seems to be fine here although I did get the same message as FUJI yesterday. Worked fine later in the day.

After initiating this post I have now found, over the last couple days, that HC now seems to function normally for me. Weird!

It could very well be your DNS, you can change dns providers easy.

Service provider: Google
Google public dns server IP address:

* 8.8.8.8
* 8.8.4.4

=> Service providernsadvantage
Dnsadvantage free dns server list:

* 156.154.70.1
* 156.154.71.1

Service provider:OpenDNS
OpenDNS free dns server list / IP address:

* 208.67.222.222
* 208.67.220.220

Service provider:Norton
Norton free dns server list / IP address:

* 198.153.192.1
* 198.153.194.1

Service provider: GTEI DNS (now Verizon)
Public Name server IP address:

* 4.2.2.1
* 4.2.2.2
* 4.2.2.3
* 4.2.2.4
* 4.2.2.5
* 4.2.2.6

Service provider: ScrubIt
Public dns server address:

* 67.138.54.100
* 207.225.209.66

The fastest I have found is OpenDns, and if you change your router or computer to use OpenDns, it helps big time to filter out unwanted sites if you desire to.
