Addressing the 'slow' complaints.

rick_mcdaniel
17 years ago

For those not familiar with marketing techniques, your "slowness" of the forum, is a built-in delay, from the loading of the ads at the top, to the loading of the messages, with the idea that the delay forces you to look at the ads.

While we all know that doesn't work.....marketers still think the public is basically comprised of idiots who don't know any better. (smile)
