Default Minor site issue update

In my last update, I gave the front page a 10-second auto-direct script for people who had trouble with the Flash.

Unfortunately, this also worked against us as a growing community, making all search engine robots and spiders direct to the forums for caching the site.

While this isn't necessarily a "bad" thing, it does negate the purpose of the intro page entirely and all the META work I've done to it. In a paradox, it will handicap our listing a bit.

So, for now, I've removed the 10-second timer. If anyone runs into a problem with that, simply reconfigure your favorite/bookmark for the site to connect to 40kterra.com/forums instead of the intro page.

In this day and age, I don't think anyone will have a problem with the intro. Even with a 56K (phoneline) modem, it shouldn't take much longer to load than the rest of us. It's a very basic and short animation.

If you run into issues, make sure you're running the latest version of Adobe Flash (v9.0.47.0) from here. If the problem persists, tell me.

You also forgot to mention the work you've done to speed up the site in cleaning and streamlining the server files of redundancy. Always so humble!

I know...it's terrible.
I got a loan of a wireless broadband modem once...it managed to give me a mighty fine 35k for one evening.
