Just a guess - all of the advertising is probably necessary to offset the cost of maintaining a basically free site. All the ads are probably bogging things down.


While it can be a bit annoying (slow), that won't stop me from visiting. Too many good people and good info to pass up.

This site is horrible with ads, slowing down the system. There's a lot of times my computer gets jammed up and frozen waiting for ads to load. Many times I have to click the reload button for it to continue. Other times I have to log out completely for it to clear itself.

I have no problems as for speed it's pretty fast most of the time. I am a supporter but i believe the ' Adblock ' i have is doing it's job,no adds at all. I have noticed some of the names don't come up as often but i have seen a lot of new names. I come and go every day but spend more time on the 73 to 79 forum as i no longer have the 51 truck.

I've noticed lately that the system doesn't save my login data....so I get the ads when I bring up my browser....until I am able to log in.
