Can't post anything in forums!

I have tried like 20 times to post something in the Knife Makers forum but my computer keeps saying that the site is not responding.

If you're trying to post a thread you may not be able to because you dont have a knife-maker membership.

Is there like a limit to the amount of words you can use or something? Its kind of a long post. I really need to figure out a way to post it right away because I need an answer to the question I have ASAP

Oh, I've posted in the knife makers site before without problems though. I also tried posting it in the general forum and it still didn't work.

Try posting the first part and then go back and edit in the rest. If it won't take the edit, post the rest in a second post in the same thread.

I just finished posting it in a bunch of small sections. Thank you.

It's because one of their paid advertisers is pushing through mobile ads. They don't load on a PC, so the ad just keeps trying to push it through over and over again, killing your bandwidth and building up data in your cache. Right click on your back button. Do you remember those endless advertisement pages it shows?

The ads here push through so much spam it's not even useable on a phone if you're a free member. I tested it on multiple devices too, so it's not malware. Then I came here to ask about it, and what do you know. Shit tons of mobile adware coming through cache that don't display on a desktop due to formatting, but are still there. Either the forum is allowing it and making big money, or their "sponsored" advertisers are pulling a fast one on them.

This is why the forum is slow for you, and can't even process a post before timing out. That, and the unending advertisement data the site pushes through to your system cache compromising your actual computer performance too.

Anything for a buck I guess.

I noticed the other day when I tried to make a long post it refused to go through for an hour or so. Would let me do everything else or make small posts, but not a big one. Not sure what the deal is.
