If it's not covered by one of those other categories, you should probably talk about it here. Be nice.

The avatars are not slowing anything down, Michael. The chat is sucking bandwidth. Dur.

That's okay, you're a DJ, not a Jonathan.

...But I hope you're sucking on some kind bandwidth, and not that damn commercial shwag.

I think the most important thing to keep in mind with avatars is that the vast majority of them are not hosted on the KG server at all - they're coming from somewhere else.

I don't have any control over them.

As a test, I've increased the default chat refresh time to 10 seconds. We'll see if it makes a difference.

I will also point out that I'm posting this using a dialup account. I've had no problems yet with anything on the forum as far as speed goes.
