I don't really have a good place to post this, or in any way be cohesive, but you're all getting my reactions to things as I encounter them because some of them are so good I need to share.
So today I was hanging out in one of the RP Discords, and they were talking about themes they liked - a common enough occurrence - and so I thought I'd take a look.
It's completely typical for its genre, the copyright in the footer suggested it was custom made for that site, and it probably was, but it looked like so many of the others in the genre it could easily have been one off the shelf and tweaked and I'm sure no-one would have noticed the difference.
But the bit that got me was how slow it was loading - and then it dawned on me that it was loading a whopping 95MB of images on the board index. And since half of them were from files.jcink.net, the browser's only going to load probably 2 at a time, so they're going to crawl into appearance.
Optimise your images, people, ffs.
Note that I am not sharing which site, no name and shame here.
