Is there a paid membership option?

One without ads? They slow me down a little, my computer is 5 years old.

It's cool if there's not, I still love the board.

No. Sorry.

Can turn off images in usercp. The images in posts are pretty taxing.

I know this post is old but I just saw it. If you're using the Firefox browser you can get an add-on called "Adblock" which keeps the ads from appearing. I don't see any ads on this site.

Gina, You can also speed up the site by going to your USER CP, click on the options link, scroll down until you find:

Visible Post ElementsYou have the option to show or hide various elements of messages, which may be of use to users on slow internet connections, or who want to remove extraneous clutter from posts.
Show Signatures
Show Avatars
Show Images (including attached images and images in [IMG] code)

Then uncheck the boxes that shows avatars, signatures and images.
