My professional opinion is still for e-gold's current site.

Does your server have the same user load that the e-gold server does?

Wwireless & cellular PDA users access different versions of the internet.
There isn't a PDA that I know of that can display a site optimized for
desktop computers. The largest resolution I have seen is 320*240, while
most desktops have a resolution of 800*600 with some at 640*480 and some
at 1024*768 and higher.

IMO, that end's up cluttering the page.

So do I. However, e-gold actually figured out how to do it properly. I
have never had a problem with lagging frames on the e-gold site.

There hardly ever is anything new. The constantly changing data is on the
stats page, which can be accessed from the top page. There is a "What's
New" link which gets updated every few months.

It can be accessed from the front page. This falls under the heading of
needlessly cluttering the front page.

All the market maker's are completely indepedent of e-gold and able to
change their fee structures at any time. Money orders have differing costs
depending on where they are bought.

This happens after being in business for five years and continually
building onto the site.

I've brought that up before. The mailing list is supposed to be just that,
a mailing list. Check out the mail-archive link above.

So do I.
