Hi Agg!

Hi mate, and all the rest o' the Hive.

Seems like it's actually loading reasonable quick here late at night

Yeah, it was really slow earlier, but the mods shut off the boards for a few and it seemed to clear up pretty well.

I can point to a number of reasons besides the server being hopelessly outdated that contributes to the massive slowdowns.

First, and most important one: Long threads, the longer a thread is the longer it takes the server to process the information. Unfortunate many of the long threads are also very popular ones (need I say StoryHour ), so many people read those and that hangs the server.

Threads should be limited in length to about 200 posts. That would be much more managable to the server. And also make thread viewing easier as each page of the thread would be directly accessible.

Or is it just another RPG reference, and, akin to Julius C., you have decided to refer to yourself at the 3rd person?

*sigh* I think he refers to him and his wife's bike exercise noted only a couple of posts up.

As to the rpg thing, I've only fought one orc, but I lost.
