I hate to say it....
...but I have converted to the "other" site. For the benefit of this community, let me offer the two primary reasons why I switched. Perhaps the admins can improve this site and lure me back.
1) This site is so terribly SLOW!!!! It takes a good 6-7 seconds (many times even more) to load each and every page, forum or not. I'm not being impatient. This is excessively slow. The "other" site is quick as can be. Get rid of the slow loading ads and upgrade your servers. This speed is not acceptable for any website.
2) Far more active users. Many many times more users. Posts will be off the first page in a matter of moments, and you'll see so many more available trades. This can be a hassle in and of itself, and I can think of many ways the site could be improved. But as far as having a large community with a very large amount of available items, the "other" site can't be beat.
I'll certainly continue visiting this site for the content updates and because I respect the fact that this site has been going as long as it has. But as far as trading goes, you've lost me.
