Im new to this site, but hopefully someone can help me with this. I can normally get on any site EXCEPT blackplanet.com (no other site) and ONLY on MY computer (no other computer)(takes 2-3min to go from page to page). I have gone through the internet options and have deleted files, cookies, even restore defaults to no mission being solved yet.....please help.

This problem looks local to the PC rather than the site or your ISP (originally reported by and later echoed by /). Narrowing the fault quickly will show whether it is browser-only, system-wide, or network/DNS related. The most effective first steps repair local name and socket issues and are safe to run from an elevated command prompt (open Command Prompt as Administrator), then reboot.

Run these commands:

ipconfig /flushdns
ipconfig /release
ipconfig /renew
netsh winsock reset
netsh int ip reset resetlog.txt

If the problem remains, isolate it with quick tests and simple checks. Try a different browser (Chrome/Firefox) or run Internet Explorer without add-ons (iexplore -extoff). Use ping and tracert to see where slowdowns happen:

ping blackplanet.com
tracert blackplanet.com

Open the browser Developer Tools (F12) and the Network tab, reload the page, and sort by time to find which file(s) or host(s) are delaying the load. If many slow resources come from third-party domains, the delay may be on those servers or their CDN rather than your PC, but the traceroute will show whether the latency appears inside your LAN or out on the internet.

Also check these local items: Internet Options -> Connections -> LAN Settings (no unwanted proxy), the hosts file at C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts (no overrides), temporarily disable antivirus/firewall to test, update or reinstall the network adapter driver, and test the site from another network (phone tether) or a clean Windows account / Safe Mode with Networking. If those checks still don’t fix it, a captured traceroute plus the browser network waterfall will pinpoint whether the hold-up is before your router, in transit, or inside the PC.

Today is July 6, 2011 and, I'm still having trouble with pages loading on Black Planet.
So...I agree with PhyZeke and The Dude. It seem like they don't do anything to improve their site? I'll have to find out who own Black Planet?:-O
