   Dear god...who designed that site? Crazy Java applets, insane overuse of DHTML, and a page header that takes up half the height of the page. Ouch. My eyes....yarrrrr!

   Stop encouraging them

   Intermitent reinforcement is one of the strongest forms of conditioning. You need to totally ignore them. Be strong.

   Hi Ryan,
   Thanks for your comments. No really, actually, I can't agree more. We're working on a super revamped version of the site and will be releasing it in the New Year. Our goals are to:
   1. Make it load faster.
   2. Improve Navigation.
   3. Simplify the graphics and make it cleaner.
   However, I don't think we did a bad job considering we only cracked open the HTML and Webdesign books less than 9 months ago. We're learning something new every day :)

   By January? Who the hell are you kidding. I've got a blazing connection here and I can't tell you how many times I degaussed my monitor waiting for your page to load. I thought it might be better loading the second page, but nope. I didn't make it past page two to get to the stuff I was really interested in (as referenced in the techdirty lines above), and writing a few sentences of protest is waay faster and easier than trying to load your damn pages again.

   It seems that the speed varies from area to area on our server. It doesn't help that our server is shared with 4 other sites and is prone to outages and slow performance (if you have any ideas on a better hosting company, I'm listening). I've just clocked our site (cache cleared of course) using the @Home connection at the office at around 8-10 seconds. It COULD be faster on this connection, but we've had days where it would take 20-30 seconds to load up. Updating this site takes a lot of patience, and we can't wait to move into a faster server.
   We're listening, but there's not a heckuva lot we can do right now, unless you want to cough up the cash and move us right now ;)
   But thanks for the comments...
