I would subscribe except that I still won't be able to get on from work and the connection between here and there sucks so it wouldn't help my speeds.

Is it me or did they purposely slow down the regular forums to entice people to subscribe?

Its like they added a 2 second delay timer for page loads because once the page loads it loads up nearly instantly.

I don't mind. It's free. I like free. The Web is supposed to be free. Free is good. If free takes longer, then I can wait.

Right now I consider the slowdown of the free service to be my cost-control system.
If it were faster, I'd spend more, so it balances nicely.

same here. The forums don't load from work. It's not that they are blocked either (I would know, I am the firewall admin).
