Suggestion to make site load faster

I am ENRAGED at the time it takes to load this **** site!!! I have high speed and a good comp and still this is the only site that takes forever to load!!!
I suggest maybe to change the template(leafs and border) to something that is faster to load and therefore make it easier to navigate this site. Like just black as background and no more images all over the background that takes forever to load.

Well we do have another template but darky hasnt fixed it.

It is NOT the images that makes the site slow.

indeed, it's because files get downloaded ALL THE TIME, about the fewest users online I have ever seen was over 30, and normaly it's about 70 users online, and most of them are probably just downloading stuff.

the images are NOT the problem. the images are stored into your browser cache, so each time you open the page, your computer will already have said images ready and it wont have to load them from the site.

All the topics on this site where hasnt been responded for a month should be deleted. Then the site will be at least twice as fast

No it wouldn't, not at all.

Wc3c has way more posts than this site, it's still way faster, it's Darky's modifications of the forum software or too many people downloading stuff or something else that is causing the problems.

Old posts aren't a part of this problem.

i think
it's the server
and lots
of people's
downloads

This site goes through terrabytes of bandwidth every month

Its bandwidth is eaten mostly from the downloads, and thus that effects the forum speed

maybe they should be split, different hosts, that way the resources would have no effect on the speed of the forum.
