So, i am unfortunately one the many still-using dial-up internet access.
As u know ofcourse, dial-up aint a very good thing. But for me, its all i have, so i have to check mail with it, post in forums with it, dload songs and ... ehmm :D well!

Ok, so i am just requesting or asking the GG admins or site-developers that there be a SIMPLE forum skin. JUST simple, i mean, it be so simple that one desn't have to click the printable version button.

So, hope u understand the probs of a dial-up user and many like me who want to browse through sites quickly, but have to wait and keep constantly staring at the "status" bar at the bottom of IE or keep looking at "Downloading (1 item(s) remaining)" text...! :wtf:

vB grey is simple enough, no really big images or anything. Try turning off avatars/sigs in your user options then you won't have to see them when browsing the forums. Might cut page loading a bit.

1924, to be exact. And not wind-up. It's hamster-powered. ("Come on, Skippy!")

Ah whats the difference. Either way you are going to have some slowness using 56k. Get DSL.
