My newbie brother would like to join and he can't. 
Don't worry, he's not crazy like yours truly (only non-musician in the family)
Thinks Litespeed is the velocity of Yngwie Malmsteen's guitar picking - he's right

Maybe you could give us some detail about how/why he can't. Such as, does he get a certain error message? Or, did he try to join while the forum website was down this morning for database backup? Or, did he get hate mail telling him that the mods know he's your brother and want him to stay the f*** away?
My point being, your post gives us precious little information to work with, if you actually want your question answered.

Anybody else getting significantly longer downloads the last couple of months? Not at all times but certainly during the rush hours.

I don't mean to Hijack this thread but, other than more space will this new server do anything different?

Make things a hell of a lot faster?
@ 55/Rad yeah there have been times when my connection is refused, I assumed it was a server issue so didn't investigate it.
After the move I'll pay my 25 bucks and get my star (is that monthly/year or what?)

Oh, and that 25 bucks... it's DAILY, ok? Got it?
Seriously, though. The 25 dollar donation is a lifetime donation, though you can feel free to donate again and again and again and again.... etc. Don't hold back.
Joe is thankful to get any money. From what he says, he gets enough to splurge on taco bell after he pays for server costs and other monthly fees. Taco bell!! We gotta get him at least to Chi Chi's!

OK...I will now admit that I have a crush on Koffee.
It's funny and really cool that there are so many BF members now. I think back when I joined it was like around 1000 members ...I'm sure that I am wrong. Age does that to a person.
Thanks Joe.
p.s. the check is in the mail.

I think I once saw a pic of Koffee somewhere. Pretty sure it was her. She seemed to be quite fit, from what I remember. Koffee, aren't you a nutritionist, or an aerobics instructor of some sort?

Warren was quite awesome in his own right back in the Fun Decade and didn't really deserve that label...
