Bankdwidth and dialup
Question:
I used to get these clips and images for my late husband, when he could no longer sit at the computer long enough to get them himself. He enjoyed them. In all honesty, so did I, so I'm still wandering by now and then. I like watching pretty women, but as I've said here before, my goal is to never find photos or videos of myself here or on any similar site.
Some of the users here still have dialup. At home, I'm one of those people. The time it takes to download a clip doesn't matter to me, because I'm not tied to the computer waiting. If it takes thirty or forty or more minutes to get a 25 second clip, I can answer my e-mail, or write a report for work, or do the laundry, or soak in the hot tub, or watch the Padres on TV with the sound down and listen to Jerry and Ted on the radio.
What I wonder about is all those clips, many of which are 10 of 15 seconds of video along with a ten second leader with a name and a fireworks pattern. Would it save the forum operator any significant money if that leader was only three or four seconds, rather than ten? The trailer is short. Why not the leader? Can that be done? Should it be done?
I'm on here at no personal expense, but somebody is paying heavy coin to provide this forum for those who enjoy it for free. Is there a way the users can cut the expense?
