Is there any chance to do something with that website to improve the speed?

It casts a really bad light on Lazarus/Freepascal that the website www.lazarus.freepascal.org is virtually unusable and most of the time it takes minutes to get a page loaded because of the timeouts.

To post something on the forums takes about 5 minutes and it is very frustrating to get 3-4 timeouts before something is getting through.

I won't hold my breath.
This beast is an undead monster way beyond its natural lifespan, refusing to accept its fate and rest eternally. Avoid it at any cost.

I must say its been driving me up the wall also.
Even the turnaround time on the mailing list is nearly an there a problem with the server or its connectivity? What sort of monthly bandwidth does it incur ?

Dolphins are so intelligent that within a few weeks they can train Americans to stand at the edge of the pool and throw them fish.

Maybe Michael H. can find out why it's slow and then we can look for solutions how to improve it for example by moving part of the site to another machine.

And while you're at it, update the look of the lazarus site, so it is more in sync with the freepascal/wiki one. The contrast is rather big...

The latest news is/was that the machines where the lazarus site is running on were "DOSsed" by some Austrian address. To improve overall perfomance, Michael planned to increased the bandwidth, which should be done by now. Don't think that this will help against such "attacks"
