Is it just me.....?
....or are the new banners here on EIC slowing the site down? Seems like every time I open a new page here, my browsers always saying "waiting on pub(dot)clicksor(dot)net or something along those lines. As it says in the title, "is it just me" (or my browser/plugins)?
Using Firefox |

I don't see them, and I never notice any slowdown - if anything, the forums seem quite speedy to me lately. I use Safari, but I have Safari AdBlock installed - get an AdBlocker for Firefox and you should be fine.

Ads = Chris's mortgage... and other expenditures such as servers, utility bill etc.
The ads/banners are what keep EIC or the other everything sites from "asking to donate".

I never see them. Firefox has some amazing add on features, try using adblock. It will also let you specifically block animated flashing avatars etc.

Does the Safari Ad blocker stop those VERY annoying box ads that move from the left or right to the center of the screen? As well as that full page ad where you need to click in the top left "continue to website"??
Those two ads piss me off.
