Members ZachMetal Posted June 21, 2006 Members Share Posted June 21, 2006 The weekly spam thread isn't cutting slack. The week isn't over, and it's already a huge thread. People on dialup still will take days to read all of this. Zach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate it when people here at work brag about how cheap they bought their McMansions, then proceed to bitch about the 2 hour drive to work because they live in the middle of nowhere. They're also on dialup and I laugh at them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DirtyChains Posted June 21, 2006 Members Share Posted June 21, 2006 Phil, individual SPAM threads have always worked well here. It sells gear quicker, gets more views, and I think most people want to be able to post them. If you are not looking to buy the item in the title no one is making you click on it to read it. Please allow us to post indivudual spam threads. HCAF is going downhill quick, IMO:( I don't mind a weekly spam thread so much. The reason why it is filling up is because we can't post individual threads. Often the monthly spam thread was used after an unsuccessful indivudual spam thread did not sell the item. Bringing them back will fix the weekly one filling up and make it a good idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members GuidanceOfSin Posted June 21, 2006 Members Share Posted June 21, 2006 For the guys still on dial up.... Just go to your profile options and turn off the img option. All the photos show up as links and you can just click on what you want. Much faster that way. I was on dial up for years and got around fine.

I can't get anything but dialup where I'm at and I'm 15 min from downtown little rock. The reason is I live in the middle of a horse shoe lake and they won't run a line down there for just the people that live on the inside of the lake...I can get satellite internet but it's $599 installation fee adn $59.95 a month and only 9x faster than dialup...{censored} that...

I was on dial up for years and got around fine. +1 Plus you can turn off displaying avatars and turn off sigs too. And if you change it from displaying 25 posts per page to 100 you'll have less pages to load and instead have just one longer one at the beginning (meaning all those ads and extra stuff will only be loaded once instead of 4 times for every 100 posts).
