having had so many issues getting to Sheff forum recently, I decided to do some digging, I have some internet issues which turns out is VirginMedias routing in Surry ( a trace route turned that up ) but out of interest I traced to SheffForum, and it turns out its in Dallas...
well im outraged, why is it a UK site, hosted in the US?? :(
at very least you could have hosted in the Netherlands and atleast kept it in the EU :(
lol!! :hihi:
Contact the Helpdesk and see if Geoff'll answer your query! :D

Maybe the hosting costs are cheaper? About Virgin Media's routing what did you find anything out as a matter of interest?

Of course, it wouldn't be The Sheffield Texas Forum (http://www.texasescapes.com/WestTexasTowns/SheffieldTexas/SheffieldTx.htm), would it?

Didn't a load of us off SF post on their Forum last year?
There's a Sheffield Forum in Texas? What the heck?! I didn't even know there was a Sheffield there much less a forum for it!

Nope, I've never even visited the US never mind lived there.
I intend to visit at least New York for a whizz round the shops one day though, and possibly California to sit on the Beach and perve at young lasses in small Bikinis! :love:
