Back to the topic at hand...

Removing all that unneeded space in the code will NOT only reduce the Server Bill, but it will also -


  1. Reduces the loading time of the pages by 25 - 120% of what it presently is.

  2. Stops people, as Froy likes to point out, from "having epileptic fits with their mouse on the Reply To Topic button." I mean, it can't be the board loading shit so slowly being at fault. can it Froy?

  3. Stop making people feel like posting on the board is too much work. I have read that comment more than a few times, and it has also been said in chat, when members were defending the reason they chat INSTEAD of post.


People with Cable/DSL bitch about the loading time being an issue as to why they don't post, I am not even talking about the Dial-Up members. And before you go and say well these people should get into the 21st century and get cable, let's not forget that at least 4 mods, including myself, are on Dial-Up, and that it IS an issue for the broadhband people as well.

Unless, of course, you don't care about the Server Bill and the End Users fading away cause of the slow loading time. Just don't start crying later when you had a chance to make some changes now.

I think it all started with the Declaration of Independence -- the idea that we had the inalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. That pursuit is what took America from the revolution to the computer age in 200 years. But the progress has come at a price. The obvious being the people that were exploited to make it possible; the not so obvious being us, the first group of people that were given no obvious frontiers to conquer. We hear stories that about the good old days that don't seem to apply anymore. It's a generation gap that leaves us without role models. But the bright side is that without role models, there are no roles. Maybe that's what the 60s were all about -- getting rid of the roles. But what do we replace them with? Without any guidance, what do we replace them with? Without any guidance, the choices become overwhelming. Sometimes it just makes everything feel hopeless. So we destroy our bodies in the search of an ideal. Try to salvage relationships that don't work. We feel we must do something, instead of doing something that we feel. It is the prison of self-imposed momentum, and the sad part is that we get used to it. It reminds me of a song I heard the other day. It's called "The Going Nowhere Fast." But the people I have met here have shown me another side of Nowhere. They've pointed out the beautiful irony that stagnation makes it easy to stop and smell the roses, if we just let it. What would we be if we had nothing to rebel against? Well we could finally be ourselves, the first group of people who stopped looking for the answers long enough to appreciate the questions. And all we have to do is to make our own Declaration of Independence. We can embrace the right to life and liberty by simply realizing that happiness exists -- not to pursue, but to accept. After that the only challenge would be to make sure with the rest of our lives that we weren't just another fad. I don't know, it's an idea. What do you think?

This reminded me of something totally unrelated to this thread.... Infopop had protection for this, as I recall.... it wouldn't let you post a duplicate. The only way to double post was to change something then try to post again.

How hard would it be to add this protection?
