Are you sure it's not latency in DNS resolution? That is usually a big factor in how fast a page comes up.

As preface, for those that don't know what the LUGNET jump.cgi does... It is a way to track stats on who goes where.

It doesn't bother me to have a sub-group. What with the sculptures LEGO now offers (giant mini-fig, Statue of Liberty), it seems like a legitimate category. However, what we really need is a lugnet.build.ericharshbarger for his postings and (...) (25 years ago, 23-Nov-00, to lugnet.admin.general)

The issue with fractioning groups is that a fan must scan more groups to find new MOC's. I only build mini-fig style models, but I like to look at pretty-much everything else. I think that the mecha sub-group is a good idea because it is a HUGE (...) (25 years ago, 23-Nov-00, to lugnet.admin.general, lugnet.build)
