That GLAM beacon is taking too long to load.  It's a problem.

It says "File not found" so you will be waiting a long time :D

glam22 and www35t are taking time to load.

Google Analytics is also taking time to load...and I don't have it loaded on my site.

Did anyone figure out what http://www35.glam.com/ is?  It took about 10 - 15 seconds to load on my site when I went to approve a new member.  Needless to say, it didn't give me the warm fuzzies seeing as I have no idea what it's there for.  Virus?

can we get this annoying site slow down load off our networks? 

[Asil]

GLAM Media owns NING and its their scraping that is slowing down your network.  They make their money selling advertisement.  The information below is pulled directly from the "Ad Choices" pop-up at the bottom of the http://www.glam.com/ page.

How does it work?

Advertisers may collect data about your online browsing activity and use it to show you targeted ads (a process known as "behavioral advertising").

You can prevent the companies listed below from showing you targeted ads by submitting opt-outs. Opting-out will only prevent targeted ads so you may continue to see generic (non-targeted ads) from these companies after you opt-out.

You may opt in to behaviorally targeted ads anytime by deleting your browser's cookies.
