How come this site doesn't have any other products listed to fight lag besides killernic?

Is this site ran by Bigfoot aka Killernic or is it only Sponsored by them, i guess that could be why no other product is talked about on these forums.Just about every post that people talk about lag bigfoot rep replys you should try a killernic, i dont get how a site that really wants to talk about how to end/fight lag allows them to spam their product all the time unless these forums are really ran by bigfoot. (killernic)

So far my take on this site seems to be that you guys are bias to only one product to solve everyones problems with lag, you dont go into detail about doing stuff to normal network cards that 99.999% of the world has to fight "lag".

Maybe if you would allow people to talk about other products and tips to impove their network connect or computers to fight lag with out always throwing KillerNIC in their face these forums wouldn't be so dead.
It just seems these forums are only about helping bigfoot sell more KillerNIC network cards.

Glad you asked!

I do work for BFN (see all my sig. tags, etc.).

I am very active on this site, and BFN is the primary sponsor of EndLagNow.Org.

BUT!!!

I know the ELN guys want more sponsors!!! (it doesn't cost much to join).. and other Lag Fighting products (while few and far between) do exist... and a BUNCH of them are constantly discussed here.

Also, I take pride in the fact that I usually answer with you should do (A) first, and then get (B) a Killer NIC... (or sometimes a Killer NIC really is the ONLY THING that people can do to proactively attack their Lag problems.

why? Becauses Killer is one of the only products designed to fight Lag from the ground up.

Don't get mad at the folks (like Bigfoot (BFN), and myself who are with you in the fight against lag.. get mad at all the other companies that aren't helping the fight.

I'm not mad at you or BFN, i just think this site could do more to help fight lag.

Why not talk about other ways to solve lag issues like ways to tweaks  onboard nic's or teach people how to find out if its a connection problem.(explain how to do tracert and how to check for packet loss)

I'd like to see a site that goes into how to contact providers  like  InterNAP to report nodes that make your connecting spike or cause your ping to go up by 20-30ms.

Thats what i think of when you want to fight lag or help slove issues.

awesome, i would love to see some of that stuff too!

And I'll add, I'd like to see other vendors and products that help fight lag (in general) and especially promoted here.

So, please do help out, join us, and teach us!

btw, under take action there is a list of some common stuff, and a lot of what you described has been discussed here before...
