How fast is your 'net connection? Support Apolyton or Terrorists Win

This is to get an idea of how we might be able to cope with a few large images in the turnthreads. If we've all got high-speed connections then displaying the images should be OK, but if we have a 56k member or two then we'll use other methods such as linking or e-mailing. I want everyone to have the most convenient access to the game data possible - and that mostly means screenshots.

Don't be afraid to speak up if a couple of large screenshots (1024x760 is my screen resolution, but I find it best to shrink the images to 75% when displaying full screen pics) in each turn thread is going to be a problem for you. I can easily zip them up and attach/link to the Zips instead.

Most of my 'poly time is done with a fast connection.

At home, I have a 56k modem connection, but I still want displayed images. It's not THAT slow.

Enter the AD-FREE zone

Poly is the slowing down factor as far as I'm concerned. MY DL is a 500 to 700 mb/sec.

So go right ahead and fill that screen
