A know that a lot of people have said that the forum is slow at times. I believe them that the pages time out for them. It has happened to me once in a while. But it does not impact the usefulness of the board most days and most times for myself and many others. GFY is pretty responsive for me most of the time and rarely times out considering how big the forum is and how many users there are.

If it times out for you and not for others on a regular basis that means by definition that the problem is on your end, despite your ping test. I imagine that it is frustrating, but there is probably a way to fix it to improve your browser's performance. We still need a search function though!
