• Anything ‘published’ on the web is viewed as intellectual property and, regardless of whether it displays a copyright symbol or not, is therefore copyrighted by the originator. The only exception to this is if there is a “free and unrestricted reuse” statement associated with the work.

    In order to protect our members and TFL from possible litigation, all members must abide by the following new rules:

    1. Copying and pasting entire articles from another site to TFL is strictly prohibited. The same applies to articles from print or other media, and to posting photographs taken of copyrighted pages or other media.

    2. Copyright law provides for “fair use” of portions of a copyrighted work. You can copy no more than a SINGLE paragraph from the article to your post (3 or 4 sentences at most).

    3. You must provide a link to the article along with the name of website. For example: ww.xxx.yyy/zzz (The Lower Thumbsuck Daily News).

    4. You must provide, in your own words, a brief summary of the article AND your reasons for believing it will be of interest to TFL members. Failure to do so may result in the thread being closed or your post being deleted as a “cut and paste drive by.”

    5. Photographs and other images are also copyrighted. "Hotlinking" of images (so that it appears in your message) from other sites is also prohibited unless you own rights to the image. If you wish to share an image, provide a clickable link to it.

    Posts that do not follow these new guidelines will be altered or deleted by staff. Members who continue to violate this policy may lose their posting privileges at TFL.

    Thank you for your cooperation and your participation in TFL, the leading online forum for firearms enthusiasts.

Is anyone else getting slow connections? I mean slow like a teflon-coated snail crawling up a glacier at a 45-degree angle in a headwind.

Very slow this morning. Seems OK now.

FWIW, I was getting very slow download times on all sites this morning though, not just TFL.

Yes we are getting slow connections, it took almost ten minutes while ago to open the page, so long I took my shower and got dressed and Gunslinger still setting here for it to open, no wonder we don't get no where on time. LOL :p

I was connected at the same time you posted. I've been getting sub-second response time. Often the problem can be isolated to a particular region (West, Mid-west, Mid-Atlantic, FL, etc.) where the latency can be very long when it is short in another region. You can look at the weather report in a few hours (unless you want to subscribe and get real time reports) to see if this was the case.

Hrmph. I can connect to my usual sites (userfriendly.org, civilliberty.about.com, &c) with no problems. Just TFL that's giving me fits, and the traceroute shows a number of hiccups in alternet. None between me and the firewall.

Gads, I LOVE computers.

Yep. Trying to get to TFL from Florida is super slow -- some pages load only a quarter of the way and stop FOREVER. Not having a problem with other sites.

Coin - the problem is obvious, your request spent way too much time in California and just sort of mellowed out until it got to Florida. But what I want to know is why did it spend some time at the NRA lobbyists desk at the Dept. of Agriculture?
