Is the site slower than the average forum site?

It is the slowest site for me as well. It got alot quicker when they redesigned the banner though. I think it is all the animated ads they have. I am running the fastest DSL on the planet and it is lightning fast on any other site. It is also the most heavily advertised site I frequent, which is why I think it is all the advertising.

The site runs EXTREMELY quick when browsing the forum via my cell phone using a mobile web browser. It doesn't load any of the ads or pictures and is extremely fast. The downside of this option, I can't readily see the pictures without manually downloading them.
It is handy for regular posts that don't have pictures.
Food for thought.

It's slow for me, as well. I agree, its all the ads. Like if you roll over a certain words, i will bring up an ad. stuff liek that, the javascript, it's a bandwidth hog. GIF images aren't actually that bad, and I don't see any flash. So it's just the Javascript for the ads bogging it all down, i think.
