Default Hello and goodbye

Registered yesterday but I regret i won't be back to post any more. This forum is useless for people with dial up connections. Takes forever for pages to load. This effectively locks out users with dial up connections. I have better things to do with my time than staring a blank screen. It's a shame because this seems like a very good forum. It just should have been set up better.
Truckerdave.

welcome to the real world. Sorry, but there's no way to design web stuff for 56k anymore.

listen, if you really want to browse, get adblock plus, and give it *.jpg, *.gif, *.png, *.jpeg as filters - you won't see any images, but you'll get the text, and it'll load faster. Or set your browser to not load images.

I'm on a T-1 at work and pages take a long time. At 56k, I don't blame you, but is there anything on the web nowadays that loads quickly at 56K?
