WTF, this might be the last straw
So now it takes like 10 minutes for this page to load, "ads.boostlabs" BS hangs up my whole browser for minutes on end waiting for who knows what.
When I bought my WRX 7 years ago this weekend, premium was less than $2/gallon- I came to this site and met a few other subie enthusiasts, we went on drives and rallys together and had tons of fun.
Now it seems few if any of my friends are left here, gas prices have more than doubled, the "new administration" is "cracking down" on all sorts of things that used to make i-club entertaining, and now this forum is so burdened with lame advertising crap that it has become completely and utterly useless.
So- today i-club is no longer my "default" web page, and chances are you won't be seeing much out of me here anymore.
It was fun while it was fun, but it isn't fun anymore...

are you loading www.i-club.com as your default page or www.i-club.com/forums? personally I see no real point to that main page as far as the forums go (which is what i-club is). I have a bookmark on my menu bar that takes me right to the forums and it seems to go pretty quickly, especially with ad-block

geez, has it been that long? that's crazy Pete... i guess it has been a WHILE since i last did one of your TSD rallies...
yeah, the site has been EXTREMELY slow for me as well since last night. I gave up after couple of tries last night and this morning seems to be a LITTLE bit better...

Both of our pc's wouldn't load I-club for several hours this morning. No matter what link we used it just sat there going no where. After 15 minutes only the top ad would load and nothing else. At first I thought our net was messing up, But had no issues to other sites.
Funny thing is both cell phones connected just fine.
