I use firefox with adblock plus... I've never had pages here take more than a couple seconds to load.

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1865

the only banners I see are for laserwave, skylasers, warnlasers, stonetek, and jayrob's heatsinks.... actually that's a lot, but no syndicated banners or anything that loads slow.

it shouldn't be taking that long to load. i have not noticed any problems for the last few weeks, even when using slow networks with speeds of less than 5Mbps. i just checked the server and there has been hardly any load over the last 48 hours. the cpu load on the server has not been over 2 for the last 6 days.

i think the speed problem has something to do with your ISP, or possibly a setting on your machine. try using firefox and disabling the cache by setting it to 0mb; sometimes using RAM to store the cache is faster.

please remember that the forum would not be possible without ads. if everyone blocked the ads i would not make enough to keep the site going. it costs a lot to run the forum and i spend hours every day doing maintenance to keep it running as smoothly as possible.

I keep the ads on. They look pretty and they make money for the forum.

Do you get money when people click on the ads?

Btw all of you people complaining about load times need a faster comp. The ads don't give me any trouble at all.

We had this discussion not long ago. The TOS forbids him from discussing these issues. He will probably even have to delete your post asking about it.
(and this one quoting it.)

google adsense does pay per click, for more information on adsense check out http://adsense.google.com , it truly is a great program to join if you have a web site

Sorry about that ad clicking comment. I honestly didn't know about that.
