Funnily enough, their website loaded slower than the ones who were ripping it, so I was initially confused about what the argument was as the large background image took ~20s to load/push down the rest of the layout. The JS on the navigation never started working either.
The direct copying by other sites is definitely lame, but I don't see anything here I'd want to copy. The crazy load time makes the site almost unusable (as I write this, the page is frozen, and still loading... maybe use fewer http requests and compression?), and the design is nothing to write home about (it's decent though).
I think that's the total load time. The page actually shows up and is usable nearly instantly for me. Also, possibly the Slashdot effect.
Why do that site take so long to load?
Everybody that reads hackernews is loading it at the same time?
seriously the original website takes forever to load
