The static thing is there to show people that TheCubed is actually doing something - if there was no page before the main page, the java applet for the news ticker would take forever to load , hence a blank page for about 10 seconds. but since there is a page before it, Internet Explorer & netscape hold that page there while the next page is loading...

Yes, the static could be optimized, or some text that says click here to enter might work, too instead of the static...

The page should also preload the images - so they are cached before the main page came up. If there was no preload page, the HTML in the main page would show before the graphics would show...

Some optimizations are needed, though...

Thank you for your comments - they are much appreciated, by the way - check out the MODS and BOARD section!
