Front Page Tune-Up 2005-01-05 09:13:11


I did a front page tune-up yesterday... Removed a few button ads, trimmed some k off the layout images and html file, etc... Little anal changes here and there that should have cut off around 100k or more. Has anyone noticed a difference? :)

I noticed the front page loads 0.000002 seconds faster than usual.

Response to Front Page Tune-Up 2005-01-05 09:20:54


Sorry to disappoint you, but no.

Response to Front Page Tune-Up 2005-01-05 09:21:59


I have a high speed connection so it doesn't change for me much.
But i gues for 56k and dony it'll change abit.
Keep up the good work Tom.

nice work tom, my dial-up notices thanks

Response to Front Page Tune-Up 2005-01-05 09:26:35


Nope, i haven't noticed something different, but i'm sure whatever u did, it was for the better.

Response to Front Page Tune-Up 2005-01-05 09:27:26


If I still had my crappy massed.net dialup service, I would probably love you right now. But as it is I have cable, so the difference is hardly felt.

uh... thanks anyway?

I use the front page as my main page and I have noticed a difference, but only when my computer is running slowly such as when I'm too far from my mobile transmitter. Still there is a difference. Thanks Tom.

Well, I don't normally visit the front page, as well as most of us, but I really didn't notice any faster loading times per se.

I'll say this though, everything looks so good, you could almost lick it.

I dont see the difference, but im glad you're improving the site :D

Response to Front Page Tune-Up 2005-01-05 10:16:19


I actually did. I was wondering about it, because I saw the change while I was doing stuff. So one second it was like it was before, and the next, it was different. Nice job, as always.

Why dont you take that Sex Kitten RPG off the front page, that game was super lame and the only reason it has a high score is because of the losers that get of on hentai. Its its a shame that its on there with those other great entries.

Response to Front Page Tune-Up 2005-01-05 11:09:53


What are 100k nowadays?

It looks nice, Tom. I'm not sure i would have noticed if you hadn't
mentioned it, but yeah. It seems more organized somehow.

One thing i have noticed for quite some time that you might
want to change:

"The console version ships on November 16th! Play the original here!"

At this point that kinda implies that AH console version isn't
coming out for another ten months.

Everything seems fine... however, I keep seeing a banner ad that says "Alien Hominid... Coming soon to a console near you" on the forum page from time to time. D'oh!

If you do a good job at trimming filesize, nobody SHOULD know the difference, right? :)

Response to Front Page Tune-Up 2005-01-05 12:07:03


Yea for the dial up people. I didn't notice, but I'm on a good connection unlike dial up.

Response to Front Page Tune-Up 2005-01-05 12:07:52


When I load NG from my classroom, I don't get any more pop-ups. Outside of the school, It loads slightly faster.

Well, at least you care about us, Tom ^_~

Response to Front Page Tune-Up 2005-01-05 12:15:01


Everything is lagging for me. Flash movies play like mudd, the very text I type with appears at least ten seconds after I type it. It's not photoshop or quark I already closed them. It's probably my connection. I did notice a huge lagg on Monday, probably during other updates you were making from Bora Bora, or where ever you said you went to. Couscus? I don't remember. Still, thanks for taking the time to update. I'm sure we all appreciate it.

if you figure out what tom changed, it won't be much, since he said little anal changes

Response to Front Page Tune-Up 2005-01-05 12:51:21


Actually it is slower for me.

When I was making Telebubby Fun Land with a 33.3 modem, I tried to keep all my Flash files under 100k. How times change!
