It's definitely going to slow down for the next little while. Hopefully the admins will make some of the adjustments they can make when the servers are extra busy (like turning off sig lines and avatars) so that things will run more smoothly.

Boston is the closest thing to a home town I have. This makes me sick.

loads fast though the letters are smaller. Replace "www" with "election" in the address bar. "upload" was too slow also.
