Do you mean activity slower or physically slower? If you are talking about activity, it's summer, happens every year.
However, I was telling Tim Andrus at the sport show that the reason I don't come around much anymore is because this site is sooooo slow. I have 4 forums bookmarked and I can click my way around them with no problem. But here if I for example click on the Realtree bookmark I wait 15-25 seconds for it to open. Then when I click on the Lounge button I have to wait 15-25 seconds for it to open. Then it's another 15-25 seconds when I click on a thread. The bottom line tells me that I have to wait for double ads and plug-ins. And it's not just my home computer. My computer at work is the same way. This web site is just too dang slow and I get tired of waiting.
