Now that the move to the new server is complete, is there any improvement?

Really, it could be just me and my optimistic view on life but it is really "whoa, much faster!".

I still need time to decide whether I should vote "a little faster" or "much faster". But it's faster, indeed.

haha, is it a sign? when I clicked "vote" I got the "unable to connect to the server" message, twice
hahaha, it'll probably not happen again

the site did load reasonably fast for me before, but now the pages load up nearly instantly - cannot complain about the speed at all from where I am sat. I just hope this one will be nice and reliable!

EDIT: ok, when I posted this message, I got the "cannot connect to server" message a few more times.. :/

Just like Barry, MS loaded fast for me even before it changed servers. I suppose it is thanks to my (abusively expensive) internet connection. But it is faster now, yes. I don't know how it would have been with a slower internet connection though.

no, the reason it wasn't loading for me (and everyone for those few moments) was that Ivor was doing something "behind the scenes" with the site at that moment in time
it is not a recurring problem

Oh ok good I was hoping that problem would go away with the new server!

And after searching around for a while, I would say this site has become MUCH faster indeed!
This makes me giddy! Good job staff!

I kept wondering if the new server would make MS a .com or something different like that.

No, that domain name is owned by the weapon manufacturer named Metal Storm. (Those bastards stole our name!)

I think it's a little faster... but a LOT faster when you open the collection pages, to open big wishlist could take years for me before. Now it takes like a second! :

I'm also not sure whether to vote much faster or a little faster. It definitely is loading faster than before, but I can't say I had too many problems with the speed before the change of servers. I'm sure the move to a new server has definitely been a huge help to the MSer's who have a slower internet connection though.

Alot faster, sometimes it would go this fast for me on the odd occassion before, but then it would go back to the slow ass stalling and timing out crap. Hasnt done that once for me since the move.
