You've gotta be kidding me, ads are way too big (filesize)

[MusicMan]

So I'm loading tst just now and I notice that it's taking a good 10 minutes to load (I'm on dial-up, 28k to add insult to injury because I live outside the broadband availability area).

So this ad for street-solutions.com is basically killing my internet and I'm seriously getting pissed. So after 10 minutes or so and the page finally caching, I discover that that ad banner is a whopping 1.29 MB!!

Most people when running banner ads keep their banners under 25k or so. But that ad is basically 50 times larger than it should be. You really should set some limits because nearly half of all internet users are still on dialup (56k or 28k), so that's half the people who visit here probably don't have the patience to sit for 10 minutes and wait for a page with that ad on it to load. ;)
