As far as I'm concerned, it's even worse as I'm from monday to friday
morning on a mobile broadband connection. If you haven't used that,
imagine going back to a 56K connection. That's exactly what I have at
the moment so I'm not going to have to wait several hours until a page
of a forum is fully loaded (several hundreds of kilobytes at least).

Forum is a no-go for me, while I can only spend some kilobytes for
getting the mails sent today with offlineimap,
Same goes for irc, which is just efficient for instant messaging.

For the above reason, I'm not going to change for a forum which will
load tons of images and waste my bandwidth. :-)

Regards,
