I reckon double posting should not be allowed but rather use the "modify" button instead. It makes it less pages to load since im on dial up :P

It is not really against the rules, but I would discourage double posting, unless it's a link dump thread.

Double posts have a higher chance of being deleted, under my moderation, haha.

An extra post takes a whole couple of kilobytes.

ZOMG MY BANDWIDTH.

(seriously, maybe an extra 2-5 seconds on dialup?)

That said, I wouldn't mind a lo-fi option for this site (stripped of graphics and barebones formatting)...would be handy to easily read/navigate this site on my mobile phone when I'm on the move.

Some people are unable to get broadband due to some stupidity on Telstra's end (aka. pair gain / RIMs).

Optus isn't quite everywhere Telstra is yet!

And some people do live below the poverty line...
