Yes. Unfortunately I encounter it quite often. Just now the loading of the forum has stalled for me for like 20 seconds until it finally loaded. I have mixed feelings about this forum. I understand it's just a facade over email. I think it works quite well, and I prefer it to traditional email newsgroups. But sometimes you'd like fancy stuff like embedding images into your post, especially when showing off a project.
What I'd really like to see though is an additional section in the "D Programming Language - Ecosystem". Something like "Projects". Where you can create threads for projects that you have started, are working on etc. Something like the old dsource forums http://dsource.org/forums/ .
Right now there's no place for that. You have General, but it's for language discussion. Learn is for learning. Announce might work for that, but in general it's for release announcements, rather than continued discussion on the project, also it doesn't work for work in progress projects. I think if such section existed, with subsections for notable projects, it'd greatly boost the community. Look at projects like GtkD or VibeD - they have their own forums. Most people frequent both their forums and here, but I imagine there are some people that only hang out on GtkD or VibeD forums. I think it would be beneficial to bring those people here.
