    Whenever I see the joinrightnow.com banner I just go ahead and refresh

    I have a 3.0Mbps DSL line, but that one chokes GFY where the page never loads past it. There's a couple others almost as bad, but that one is consistent. Is there any reason for a swf banner to have more than a few seconds of mouseover audio?

          I've never had a problem with it as I am on a 20mb per sec connection but somebody made a post like this the other day. Maybe they should make a new one.

              So that's what it was..I knew GFY would cause my browser to lag but didn't wait around to see which banner did it

                The only time I notice who is advertising on GFY is when someone skins the whole site, so I never pinned slow loading down to a particular banner. When GFY hangs, I tend to assume it's being DOS'd and just come back again later...

                      Well, being that this is a business site that is a pretty bad approach.

                      Maybe forcing you to reload a page several times just to continue is a business model

                            not really...you will still get their non-flash versions, plus seeing the sigs and whatnot, its not like your missing alot

                              Thanks for bringing this to our attention.

                              Seems like a lot of people like the music and even some mix master mixologists use it to scratch with.
