Haven't noticed, really.
However that t-shirt shop background thing is ticking me off, I've been accidentally clicking on it quite a few times when I meant to click the 'home' button up there. I'm sure it's been purposely put up there just to accumulate accidental clicks!

Ya. I have been having problems with the site for about a few months now. If I open multiple tabs of this website it just crashes my firefox browser. I know it is not my computer or internet because when I go to the engineering computer labs at my college it is just as bad.

What's the point in having multiple tabs open, anyway?

Convenience mainly. I just open up a new tab for each forum topic that I would like to read so I don't have to constantly hit the back button to get back to open up more. It's not like I open up a crap ton of tabs, mainly just 4-5 max. But I still have problems with this website with just the home page opened.

Strange.  Wonder why some people are having issues, and others (myself included) have no problems at all.

It does take the longest out of all the websites I go too...and sometimes even with posting comments...I get delays...

This is for the main page of these websites and this is until everything is loaded.

In the past month, VGC has been virtually unusable on my iPhone. Used to load just fine.

Must be something wrong then... taken about 7-8 seconds for me, and a little longer for IGN... and I only get about 3-4Mbps on the cheapest Dell laptop (though I don't think the specs will have anything to do with how fast flash content loads unless the PC is from the 90s)

I'm going by the loading icon for websites and how long it takes to go away, the website is usable earlier then the times I got, but just to get an accurate time I timed the loading icon.

Also this is in Chrome, the fastest browser I have. Firefox and IE takes much longer.

Edit: and there can't be anything wrong with my computer because I just did a clean install to Windows 7 a week ago, so there would be no viruses or spyware or anything on my computer now that would make the pages take this long.

Yes the same method (firefox 3.6 when it stops loading the page) and I wasn't suggesting anything wrong with your computer, but something wrong with perhaps certain groups of people having trouble with this site (perhaps all in a certain region, but i would think someone would have drawn that correlation if it existed already)
