Your kitty boot sig gif is eating all my bandwidth or something. The pages immediately freeze until the cat reaches the end. That takes like two minutes.

A small price to pay for a lolcat of that caliber.

I've never seen the entire thing. I hit the back button and get the fock out of there as soon as I scroll to his first post that causes my shiz to freeze.

Oh I'm not the only one. It is hard to escape a thread without seeing a post by the brain. Mine doesn't freeze though. I'm just pretty sure displaying it 5 times on my iPhone can't be good.

You slow bastards need to step out of the 00's and get faster internet or something. Never noticed any freezing. I do agree it's a bit big though, size wise. Ban his ***! ...wait...

Also, just disable signatures if it's that big of a deal. I guess it goes to cache in mine, because I never see it actually load, it's just there.

Y'all need to upgrade your PCs. A '286 with 640k doesn't quite cut it nowadays.

All of you should at least be running a 386 with the math co-processor upgrade.

If your computer slows because of that gif, you are fail.

I don't remember it ever giving me an issue before today. But just now when I clicked on this thread it froze for a second, then everything was fine.

I'm on my gf's mac and we have DSL here, so its not top of the line, but I would imagine it shouldn't be slowing down from a gif file. Weird....

Dear Brain,

If you have even one hair on your ***, you would double post (make 2 gifs) that cute kittie in your sig. But, I guess you're getting older now, and must be, dare I say, pc? Anywho, nice to see all is well.

Your Friend,
Rocky

I couldn't possibly see how you are having issues with that gif locking up your browser. Sounds like you haz computer problems.

I think we've isolated your problem to two distinct failure points...
