Nowhere but the B&G.

1) The site uses Google ads to generate revenue to help pay the bills for hosting and bandwidth use. If your browser uses ANY ad blocking software or plugins including: AdBlock Plus, NoAds etc. then you may not see adsense targeted ads, but you will probably see extended load times.

Recommend you allow BlackandGold.com to show ads and place the site on your "White list" because our ads are minimally invasive at worst.

2) There were 2 external Fan networks we belonged to that counted hits and ranked us with other NFL fan sites etc. etc. One of the external networks was having a lot of server timeouts recently to its own network server. So we had a banner in the footer to the network and it wasn't loading causing overall page load issues- occasionally.

This was causing us a headache and I decided to remove this Affiliate as they were benefiting more than we were.

I would point my finger at either of these, but most recently #2 may have impacted some surfing load times.

This site is designed mostly with CSS and loads very few images per page. "Smiles" have nominal if any impact on page load. Also the server is a modern 4 processor quad core system with 8 GB's of RAM at a collocation facility in Dallas TX on the PNAP internet backbone with 2 backup DNS servers. The pipe into the colo facility and to our hosting company is relatively huge. We have very few, if anyone, who complains about the site being "slow" therefore I would also recommend you check your home high speed connection.

Hope this his helpful.

Nothing to see here. Coup's computer's HDD is probably corrupted with tons of liberal spam and severed registry links. Hell, it's probably A Commodore 64.

Its probably the newly added idiot filter slowing your activity down.
