It amazes me that there are so many great programs out there to work with, however, if that site is slower than molasses in January here in Pennsylvania, there is a problem. I understand that bandwith and a few other hundred concerns play into this issue, but if you can't fix it, you shouldn't be charging membership fees.
A site with roughly 1.6 million people taking 5 minutes to load a page just lost 1.5 million people because they don't have time to wait 5 minutes for a page to load. Now multiply that by the fact that they have to email roughly 30 people to help them build their business, and you just made it completely unbearable to work with the program. One time membership fee or no, you will not get your paid members to continue referring new paid members if you can't put a little bit of that income back into your business.
Need to know how? Well, I'm quite sure I do not have that answer. I do not operate a site with 1.5 million members, nor am I sure that I have the patience to do so. What I do know is that someone out there knows, and if you ever decide to fix the issues, start with your hosting provider. My guess is you need to go from that 8 buck a month program to one that is just a little more expensive.
Can you handle that? I am guessing the answer is yes, especially since 1.5 million people referring members at the speed of light who are willing to pay you $25 to get started, is a major income loss if you don't!
Best Wishes,

P.S. I have mailed my specific complaints off to this program. If it's not fixed, I'll name them for you! But I would hate to give a bad review to a site that is working hard to fix their problems...so for now, we'll wait and see!
