Not entirely a bug ... more a performance issue

I've noticed that some of the advertising servers can really slow down page loading. So far the worst offender in my experience here has been a.tribalfusion.com ... though ai.pricegrabber.com sometimes attempts to compete for a close second. Is there a way to repremand them for their slowness? It really kind of stinks that the forumZ loading is so badly slowed down by the advertising. You'd think they'd run better servers than that. :?

On the same note I've noticed that the icq server that shows whether someone is online or not is slowing down posts/threads where people have a link to their icq number.
