Big threads hogging up too much bandwidth?
« on: November 04, 2014, 01:00:08 pm »
The "what are you listening" to thread slows my internet down to a crawl every time I open it, is there something we can do like, having youtube vids no all pre-load as soon as you open the thread or something? Is it just my interbuttz?
Not Istanbul.

Get a better computer.  One manufactured within the last decade should do
