Anyone else having the issue that pages are taking an AGE to load right now (most of today it's been like this), and yet when they look at the time taken to generate it says only fractions of a second?

But... when I look at one of the pages while it's sitting and spinning for minutes on end I see down in the info bar "connecting to a.tribalfusion.com", now tribalfusion is an ad serving company so surely we can just get rid of all the ads.

And it stays like that for ages.

Tribalfusion is killing the sift! Stop it... stop it you mean, nasty tribally fusiony thing.

Oh, and couldn't there be a sift talk channel for sift related talking?
