Hmmm really, I have made it a point to make my website run as fast as possible and haven't had any issues with people not being able to load the pages. Hmmm what browser are you using?

I am with them, lose the splash page they are never good. Plus I have no idea what your site is actually about...you should really let people know what it's about when they arrive.

I'm willing to give up some of my spare time to assist getting rid of some of the pointless features and promote the forum as much as possible.

I sent you an MSN invite request, but I don't know if you got it?

But, as the others have said, splash pages are a total killer of SEO. Just not needed at all. And you have incorrect links to your forum.

Hmmm weird your the first person to have problems loading it, I will spend some time looking into it as several of my members of my last forum liked the splash page, ill see if there is any way to reduce the negative effect of the splash page, if not ill just lost it like you said.

Hmmm good point, I have a few ideas on how to make this clear. Looking at it there really is nothing telling what the website is about thx

I've been on MSN all day. I'll assume that you are in a timezone that means your online, and I'm offline

Pointless features = Splash Screen
