Yes, the site took a while to load on my computer. The song did load but it took a few seconds.

I like the music, however it it took like 30 secs for me to get the images up on 2MEG Broadband, chances are I would have clicked back before the music loaded, either that or if you really want the music cut it so that it starts at the corus when they are singin "know when to hold em lol"

oh yeh and 1 or 2 loops and thats it cos it gets a little tiring after a while when you have minimised the window

Good point! i think im going to take it off, my idea behind it was that most poker players like that song and that they would stick areound the homepage if for nothing else to listen to the song! but i dont think its worth having an extremely slow loading page.

it could be good though if you got the page to load 1st then the music after cant be so hard, I really liked the music thats why otherwise Id say fuck the music

Come to think of it tryt this:
put an image right at the very bottom of the page and link the song just to that.

i dont think i can get it to work like that, i have taken it off, i think im going to edit the song and play certain clips on different pages, as well as look for some other gambling songs! ive noticed in my stats that visitors werent stayin as long, a song file is huge, i wonder if there is a way to compress it?

PokerMaster · #10 02-27-2006, 11:28 PM

yey its compressed as much as it could be, its just those with low speed internet aka dial up that would have a major problem, I didnty really think anyone had dial up anymore, but apparently Im wrong, lol, and if any of them bad beats me Im always like use the money to buy adsl or cable please .
