Ya ever since Georgie has been on his doom-the-non-plats benge the pages have been loading pretty slow for me. I'm on a crazyfast connection too. The only thing I can imagine is the ads, considering the fact that they are plastered all over the entire site. Granted to fix this you must go plat, but I've been plat before and it wasn't worth it to me. That was over a year ago and I suppose since non-plats are losing so many privledges the only way to make my internet forum experience better is to pay for it....
But I think its the ads slowing down the pages.
