I don't like it at all. It slows things down and it's too busy on the eye. I'd rather just pay for a subscription if they need money.

Are you trying to say their mind F**king us Rev?? :lol: :lol:
That's just not very nice of them.

kind of like with gas, raise the price a dollar and then drop it 20 cents and everyone thinks it's a great deal

Hate it!! It slows the board down, big time. I will consider leaving now, because it drives me nuts, and did I say slows the board down.

The adblock for firefox speeds it up immensly. Hell, it should, considering it's only loading half of the page now,

Its not the end of the world.. but it does make the board appearance and performance rather sucky..

Big deal on the ads .... I could care less. As a business owner you have a responsibility to enhance your revenue stream. Last time I looked, this site was not registered as a 501c3 Non-Profit Corporation. More power to the owners to make money.....

That may be true - but...

If most of the people that use this site are using a connection that could be slow at times (aircard, slow wi-fi, etc) and move on, then exactly how are they going to make money if people aren't visiting the site?

Using Internet Explorer or FireFox without Adblock, when my connection was a standard low-speed, it was taking almost a minute to load each and every page. With FireFox and Adblock, it takes about 5-10secs to load them.
