I don't come on this section to gripe very often, but it has gotten to the point where coming to this website is becoming an exercise in excruciating tedium and waiting for me.
You have added so many useless bells and whistles to both the main Freeones page and the messageboard that are probably generally unused by most people that it slows both sites to a crawl when there is no logical reason for it. I know it's bad when FreeOnes tries to download dozens of model profile pictures on the top page of the messageboard that don't even show up on the page. It's also bad when things want to be reloaded every time I click on a page to return to it. It's a lot more than just that though.
Now, I know you want to make this site good, I know you have to fit a certain number of advertisers in to make FreeOnes viable, and I know you can't just reduce everybody down to the lowest common denominator because some people have slow connection. (Although there are a lot more people with slow connections out there than people realize. Then again even for non-super-fast broadband this place can get slow, let alone dial-up.) I get that. I also don't expect to download video or a lot of pictures fast, or a lot of times at all. I get that also, but is there any reason for this site to take so long when almost an entire page is just text. Even when I use something like FireFox with a add on like No-Script it only makes it go from unusable to just bearable. I know about turning off signatures, but is there something else that I'm missing about setting up my profile. Is there some way to turn off all the junk the website wants to run when I'm going through the messageboard. There are too many times I would like to respond to a thread but after waiting minutes upon minutes for it to load it too often isn't worth it and I go on to something else.
