"A good reason is we (webmasters) are reaching out to those with social networking. Much like the OpenID concept, we have methods of Facebook and Twitter integration and logins. People with a Facebook or Twitter account can create an account on the forums using their logins from either site. The Facebook Like and Twitter Tweets allow for people to spread information which is very common in this day and age. By sharing information, it spreads to their friends; and if their friends like it there is further potential to spread. This is a GREAT thing for webmasters as it allows for more members to come to their websites. More members means many more good things, from posters/commenters, to people who may donate. Plus, increased traffic can also mean more money to improve the website if a webmaster is running ads (which I am trying very hard to avoid, but may soon have to do). \n \nWhile I personally have tried to keep the website as dial-up friendly as possible, I'm not going to keep things a certain way forever, I can't. Progress is happening daily and you have to keep up to keep your site out there and interesting. There are less than 5% of dial-up users visiting this site. In fact, I'm amazed by that number. The fact that people are still using dial-up is absolutely amazing. While I do understand that sometimes you use the only thing available in your area, I believe you can also write to your senators/congressmen and let them know that it's 2010 and the only thing in your area is dial-up. I switched to cable as soon as it was available in my area, even signed up to beta test it because before I was on 28.8k dial-up. Sadly, dial-up was the only thing offered in my area. I still remember shortly before cable Internet was out here we had problems with our phone lines. They cleaned the boxes and I was getting 56k speeds, finally. But when cable Internet was here I didn't pass it up and still firmly believe it's worth it. \n \nSomething you (and many other dial-up users) may wish to keep an eye on is the National Broadband Plan. \n"
