2.servedby.netshelter.net

Whatever this 2.servedby.netshelter.net thing is that the forums have to connect to each time a page loads, gotsta go. I'm assuming it's for ads, but it takes me almost 30 seconds to load each page on broadband. That is assinine.

Anyone else getting this? No other sites are doing it except this one, which sucks since this is my favorite site!

Sometimes I get stuck on it for a few seconds, but then the page just pops right up after that. Not a big issue for me.

Add this entry to your hosts file:

127.0.0.1 servedby.netshelter.net

This will blackhole it and stop the lag.
