    With all due respect. I have never in my life, seen a web site that functions as abysmally as this one. I am seeing transfer rates of around 3.0 KB/sec, or less than a 56Kbps modem. What is the problem? Doesn't the revenue from advertising displayed make it possible to have a site that works?

          Hmm.... let's see it this way. This guy's been a member for more than 2 years, and has posted 4 messages (that's including today's troll-posts), and he comes up and says in the Lounge that it sucks. It's like having a house owner in your neighborhood who's never home, and suddenly comes to a community meeting and shouting, "You guys suck, this neighborhood is c*ap". Heck, forget the analogies - even if he's entitled to his opinion, we are entitled to ours. :) Vikram.

                    The site is currently fairly responsive from over here. I've seen faster sites, and I've seen slower. With all due respect: I am writing free articles in my spare time, and I am confident they are valuable. All I expect as compensation from you is: a little patience. If you don't have the patience, you can help the site handle it's load by visiting the Codeproject Store[^]. Thank you.

                                  Worth1000 has one of the funniest naughty word replacemens lists I've ever seen. Small warning: the page contains all the original naughty words and some of the replacements aren't exactly politically correct. Charlie if(!curlies){ return; }

                                        With all due respect. I have never in my life, seen a web site that functions as abysmally as this one. I am seeing transfer rates of around 3.0 KB/sec, or less than a 56Kbps modem. What is the problem? Doesn't the revenue from advertising displayed make it possible to have a site that works?

                                        You're entitled to your opinion, so fair enough. But, if you feel that you can do better than do so, if not then whining will do nothing constructive. Also, be grateful for the resource you have, creating an extremely popular website is not an easy thing to do. Jeremy Falcon

Should anyone ever complain about anything or should they keep their mouths shut and "do it better". Is this site ever slow to you or do you not even notice it because you're busy being grateful.
