Don't open the forum view if you don't like it. :lol:

All we are trying to do is make enough money to keep this site running, bro.

The video is a trial that Google asked us to participate in. Once the trial period is over, we will stop showing it.
 
Your internet connection must not be all that great.

I've had zero problems.
 
  1. Signatures and Avatars Added: February 1, 2004 - Avatars and signatures should not have any type of nudity or be too risqué, nor are they to contain violence. Basically, nothing sexually explicit or violent. However we also ask that you refrain from using bathing suit-type photos altogether for the purpose of promoting on-topic conversation. We believe this is fair as avatars and signatures are in every forum. In some forums these pictures may or may not be allowed. Thus, there should be no pictures, as stated above, in one's avatar or signature. However, images such as stated in the above may be posted in The Ladies Lounge. Added: January 15, 2005 - You are permitted one photo per signature. Please keep the dimensions within the 400x300 pixel range and below 40k in size. Exceptions can be made if a signature is wider than 400 pixels, but much shorter than 300 pixels in height (a banner for example). Not only does this make for a sleeker, less congested forum, but it also helps visitors who are limited to 56K dialup connections. Added: January 23, 2006 – The use of quotes from other members in your signature in a derogatory or inflammatory manner is not allowed. This creates bad feelings among fellow members, and is considered a personal attack. Added:14 February 2006 - Politically oriented Sig and Avatars are not permitted. This tends to distract from discussions, much as a sexually explicit one would.

Just wanted to make sure with the Google Demo that we're not forgetting our dial-up members. :wink:

The Google ads are not served by FH and you only use Google's bandwidth if you play the video. So, I am still lost...what do you mean. I don't understand why you quoted the TOS.

I understand they use Googles but if someone is looking at the forum view the video still has to load. Users with 56k have limited bandwidth. I'm not saying that would be a HUGE difference, but the dial up members loading the forum view would definetly notice a slow down. Unless I'm thinking backwards?

The script is only calling a ~75k image (give or take). That would only be a problem if you have a snail-paced connection or if Google server is slow to serve the image. :wink:
