Why I don't browse LO as much as before...
Once I was one of the most active users here on LO, spending hours here every day and posting tons of messages. Now I hardly visit once a week. Why? How did my activity drop like that? Well, for all the greatness of LO and the grandness of its' member base, the site is just so. God. Damn. Slow!
Seriously, I mostly browse it while in school and I have a great internet connection there (100 in/100 out), still an average topic takes more than 20 seconds to load! It hasn't always been like that, but nowdays each and every thing I click on takes ages to load.
Research shows that the average user loses intrest after 10 seconds, and 30 is just over the top. It makes me stick to other sites (SWC, PP boards) that loads faster and is also a nice site. But I don't want to give up LO. I'm starting my third year here now and it has been a great time.
I don't know if this can be fixed, but I'll try to stick to LO since I don't want to loose all the great people I've met here and actually had the oppurtunity to meet in real life.
