I like OSO but little annoying things like this/ slow speeds/ other inconvienences will push more people away.

Thought that I would check and see if what we all suspected was true. It is.
A comparison of OSO and Freaks from the last three months:

OSO:
Page Views down 27%
Traffic Rank down 22,766

Freaks:
Page Views up 78%
Traffic Rank up 181,566

Source: Alexa

Prediction: IB buys Freaks within 6 months and moves it to the slow server so that there is no difference. :D

If prior and present performance is any indicator, IB doesn't give a $hit. They're absentee landlords.

BTW- every banner ad on here is invisible to me. So many of us missing the existence of the Google ads is pretty strong evidence that I'm not in the minority.

No GOOG adds on my screen. But I rather have OSO double or tripple my fee to get rid of all the freeloafer in here with their idiotic comments. Free for a week or two then pay up or shut up.

The ads are on the left side of my screen for "Top 25 stock picks by Google" which isn't that major an issue. I never noticed until now.

naaah. won't happen. I don't think it's about the money over there. TJ's dad founded the site with the intent that it always be free. I don't think that fits the IB business model. :cool:
