Has this site become borderline unusable for anyone lately? Like all of a sudden the page crashes every time, after all these years it’s finally becoming a problem.

Mine has been fine. A few months ago when the site was lagging because of ads or whatever for everyone is when it gave me issues but never since they fixed it.

Agreed. I try to log on via laptop whenever I can, but with the phone it’s always glitching. Sometimes I’ll be writing something using the phone and the site will refresh/go blank and I’ll lose everything. May have to go back to using tapatalk app

A GM asked me a few weeks ago to add a GM survey similar to the one the actual NBA GM's fill out as well. Questions in the spoiler below. Feel free to answer and submit by Tuesday 11/19.

I got Adblock, Ghostery and No script. That’s the reason it’s been fine since I joined the site, but these past two days it’s unresponsive page after page.

Guess I’m late to the party. Been using this site with no ad blocker on my phone for years. Just installed AB pro and it’s flawless.
