In Response To: Re: Louis! Mnemesis! Anyone with power! (kapowaz) : "as well as this one" just happens to be toilet though. I'm on ADSL
Seems to me you haven't bothered to look at the customization possibilities before complaining. The page I load is under 100k, WITH images. There's a preferences link - try it out. btw - show me a (credible) study that suggests that you shouldn't go over 40k that was written AFTER 1996. Even the main site here, which is DESIGNED for fast loading on modems, shoots for 100k pages as a baseline. (Yes, there are many pages over 100k... but you know what you're getting into when you go there.) For that matter - show me a UBB forum with a sub-40k page. : The UBB style is perfectly suited to this sort of forum in any event, since
But UBB is not threaded - and that totally kills conversation. Keeping track of who's answering what post becomes SO much harder on flat forums like UBB (or any of its variants). If you really like flat forums, simply use the guestbook style here. I haven't spent much time customizing it, because I don't use it myself... but several people have said it's quite useable. And again - show me a UBB-based forum that keeps off-topic posts in an off-topic forum, consistently. And does it without forum nazis. Go ahead - show me. : I really can't see why you would prefer this style... Because over the years, it's proven itself to be more useful, that's why.
