Suggestions for increasing speed

Support Apolyton, pre-order Civilization IV

Since a lot of people are complaining about how slow the site is, I guess it's time for us to dream up some schemes to improve the situation.

1. Webpage optimisation. Put all the static stuff into external files that only needs to be loaded once. For example most of the JavaScript code can be placed in .js files and linked externally. Also put more of the formatting into the CSS files.

2. Restrict file sizes. Except for the on-topic forums all attached files should be 50K or less.

3. Remove unused features. The "rating" bit comes to the mind. This simplifies webpage layout and reduces file size at the same time.

4. Ask for donations. So the pipe can be upgraded

Any other suggestions?

Suffering from ads?

Is it possible to steal bandwidth? Maybe we could put some of our trolls to good use for a change.

Got spare money?

Maybe we could inva...err invite ourselves over to other (fast-moving) forums and just set up threads with Apolyton in title?

I thought you were going to suggest branching thread then GP

Well they just need to upgrade their connection. God help us all when Civ3 arrives and the hordes of newbies arrive...

Lose 30 kilos (of popups)

[time warp back to Januari 2000] Maybe Gamestats could send every Apolytoner a free DSL-modem, together with a free copy of civ3? [/timewarp back to Januari 2000]

Understanding is the answer...

Support Apolyton, buy Galactic Civilizations: Deluxe Edition

Why not post when it's not so busy?

This was a suggestion I heard here once....

Won't it get boring with just the four of you?
