This site is terribly sluggish and loads slowly. Try both web addresses to see if it makes any difference:
http://www.986forum.com
http://986forum.com
They both load the same pages, but one may work faster for you or keep you from receiving timeouts.
The owners know about the pokey pokey page loading problems, but have not been able to fix them as of late. I think it requires having the site moved to a much faster server.
