The Forum is Very Slow
Already a long break since I stopped posting in the RedLynx community.
The slow loading on has been an issue since RL moved the forum to here with vBulletin. It takes me 30 second to load a thread with 20mbps. In the old forum, the speed was instantaneous. I don't like these tons of images in the background and the main board. Is this really necessary RL? I don't want to see them every time, they only slow the site down, and it increases ZERO experience, in fact it worsens it. What I care is the community. The slowness turns me away on reading and commenting the threads, it wastes 2/3 of my time just loading the threads.
RedLynx should've only moved to vBulletin (or better IMO: Xenforo, IPB) to eliminate spam, make the appearance nearly identical and give us the smilies back. Or shouldn't have even moved to here. Brown theme fits the best for Trials, this theme in this forum with the trials fusion bike/rider, social icons, off-place buttons and colors looks more like a Fisher-Price community. Well, only thing RedLynx got right in this forum is the dark background on text, everything else, meh.
Just my 2 cents.

The other site i frequent uses Xenforo (7S) and it loads smoothly. Ive always hated vBulletin. RL's old forum was the best. Besides the Offtopic/General Dicussion section gets like one new thread...a month. I don't know how else to explain it. People used to come here for a good time, now its just a necessity only because Fusion has its issues. Redlynx needs to buy themselves out of this hole, move back to its original roots and release a THDEVO Collection that can be played on next-gen.
