Why does this site take so long to load each page? SUX

FastForwardWheels · #1 09-14-2007, 11:39 AM

I frequent a few car forums each day but I noticed from the begining that the pages HERE take forever to load..... TOO MUCH ADVERTISEMENT load-ups????

I don't come here as often since I hate waiting for this stuff to load up.....

Admins: Suggestion, cut out all the flashing.......

Sometimes it takes a long time for DF to load, while other times its lightning fast...
