I'm now on the Full of Ads side and am using Firefox.
The loading times are not a problem nor are the ads.

It's all about to what one gets accustomed.

Yea, I have to pay the bills with either ads or subscriptions to the ad free to pay the bills here. We don't push anyone either way, I just want to give people a choice because I have no choice when the server bill comes in

also some of the ads are flash based and when you don't use the latest flash player, they are more likely to hang when they are loading and slow you down.

I don't turn off the ads for myself because I don't think it's right for me to show you guys ads and not look at them myself... they don't bother me, I appreciate them because if it were not for them, I don't think I could run this website.

you might very well be right about the latest downloads of Flash Player.

i just downloaded Adobe Flash Player and Shock Wave Player, now the site is loading up REAL QUICK.

but before you mentioned this, of late, i too have been experiencing slow load up times.
