Wasn't this MUD upgrade supposed to increase speed ?

well, everything is either slower than before or just as damn slow

I don't need highschool-age features for handing out pats-on-backs or flower bouquets

is there a way I can inactivate this newfangled stuff and continue to live my luddite life

It is faster for me?

What kind of throughput do you get on Speedtest.net - The Global Broadband Speed Test (and what browser are you using?)

Since neither my browser nor my provider have changed, I don't quite see how this could be relevant to the question of speed of MUD before and after the upgrade

Because IMO (and a few other user's opinions) the speed of mud browsing has improved albeit slightly. The complexity of the pages has, however, increased. Using a poor browser (or poorly setup browser) or a low bandwidth connection may aggravate a problem that was causing mud to seem slow for you in the first place.

There are often some tweaks you can apply to enhance your experience.

a slow forum exposes the visitors to the ads for a longer time

Did it shut down for a while today? I couldn't get on Mud, but everything else was cool.

Cumcast + Firefox 2 = Extremely slow today.
Cumcast + Mozilla 1.7.12 = Extremely slow today.
Cumcast + Exploder 7 = Extremely slow today.

Conclusion. Mud is extremely slow today.
