it's a shame things don't seem to be running as smoothly as it did before the switch to a new isp. it's an even bigger shame when you start something out as a free service just to turn around and start requesting that complainers donate some $ for upgrades. i'm pretty sure antoine didn't start this forum out with hopes of commercializing it and making a profit. for those of you tired of being ragged on for not donating any $ i'd like to invite you to check out http://www.mazda-talk.com . it's not as flashy but i'm sure the 333mhz pII can keep up with the demands. it's a free service and it'll stay that way. don't get me wrong, i think this site rocks but i'm just a little perturbed by all the bitchin about needing donations to buy the latest and greatest equipment just to still have these glitches.
