lol thanks man

Thanks.

When we first got the chat, we moved it around a lot and found that it wasn't a successful feature anywhere but right on the front page.

We were among the first networks to test the chat, in Beta 1-3, and we will get newer and improved (faster, we hope) versions as they come out.

dj maybe you need a faster computer than that one you purchased at WALLMART, the same place you purchased your 30 dollar disc golf shoes your allways bragging about, lol

How about digitizing shirts onto people's pics?

Yeah...I had the same thought. This isn't eHarmony or one of those other dating sites, is it?! LOL. :-P

Seriously though, I think the best thing that we could do with this site (Terry C. I'm sure knows this comment is coming) is to either reduce the quantity of imagery that is "forced" in front of people's noses OR optimize said imagery so that it doesn't chew SO much bandwidth for the few thousand of us who like to frequent this site on a regular basis. Folks would be surprised at what can be done to speed-up the amount of time it takes to display an entire page's content if one simply optimizes the imagery found on it. If you're on a T1/I2 connection, it probably doesn't matter too much to you. However, if you're on dial-up or DSL (or checking things out from your cell phone or PDA), and/or don't like it when your favorite sites occasionally crash under the weight of bandwidth, it's something we ALL should be doing.

Some links on how folks can do it:

I did a blog posting as a follow-up to this comment: http://graphicsoptimization.com/blog/?p=75 Big, FAT, BLOATED images abound on this site...which cause it not to perform as well as it should...particularly related to people who are visiting from dial-up, mobile or slower cable/DSL connections. Just a friendly suggestion! :)
