EDIT: This was originally attached to the sticky thread regarding popups. Mark moved this thread here and gave it that title in order to troll (the irony).

ORIGINAL POST: Either's great for me.
I never see popups nor ads on pages anyway.

Whichever loads faster.

Once the average loading time dips below 10 seconds per page at all times of the day I'll reconsider.

It's not me, it's your damned load times.

I don't see why I should be making my load times even longer than the insanely long loadtimes I'm getting already just so I can see 3(!!!) banner ads on the site, and also being pestered by your popups on the main forum page while ALSO being pestered into buying some of those apolyton propaganda.

if you dont like the ads dont visit the site

and you could have better loading times if you used the light style instead of the default

I think you'd be hard pressed to find anybody who like the ads beside you, since you and Dan seem to be the only ones liking them.

I know what you mean, though. Fix your loadtimes and I'll look at the ads and maybe click a few.

I'm not paying for bad merchandise.

Smooth, Mark.

Why don't you start disclosing how much money you're making from this site, and then explain to us why that money isn't going into fixing the site so we don't need to wait 300 seconds for pages to load?

Edit: Can I get a special title now?

Thief would be just fine.

Speaking of "thief", where do you get all of your stories from for your Top-40 sites?

Are you up to date on copyright laws?

And you should move this to off-topic.

Don't they have have any laxatives in Canada? Damn, Asher you are begging to look like the victim on the Keystone/bitter beer commercials. It would be nice if the advertisers had adequate server response time (Those with the e-mail addresses remind them of this: "Hey guys, pissing off your target audience with slow loading adds is counter-productive", but....... Why go smurfing disproportionally ballistic about every minor inconvenience of a free site?


But there at least one other poster here who admires scrupulous behavior with regard to copyrights

Right now it's fine, so I'll turn on the ads again.
But the next time it tells me "Cannot find server" and hitting 'refresh' only take 200-300seconds to load the page, they're going right back off.

Damn straight. I'm filled with teenage angst and I'm not afraid to use it.

The load times can easily reach above 100 seconds sometimes. Hardly a minor inconvenience.
