Well, we've gotten back to where things were before the new server was installed. Lockups and such are much more likely: I just was unable to access the Board for five minutes. Let's make sure the capybaras aren't being used for food by hungry staffers. It IS Lent, after all... :p

The delays and lockups have become more frequent for me as well.

Maybe it's just down to when I'm online, but I didn't see an improvment when we switched, I just took everyone else's word for it.

There was an improvement but it seems to have been just for long enough to convince me to pay.

When did we make the switch from hamsters to capybaras? I really need to pay more attention to these things.

I've noticed this as well. The boards will lock multiple times a day, lately.

Autolycus Productions proudly presents! An excerpt from The Princess Doper

Setting: a medieval castle. The hero reunites with his beloved after being mostly dead.

Westley: I told you I would always post for you. Why didn't you wait for me?
Buttercup: Well... you were locked up.
Westley: Lockups cannot stop true posting. All it can do is delay it for a while.
Buttercup: I will never doubt again.
Westley: There will never be a need.

Thank goodness. If it were, I'd be forced to go through everyone's clothes and look for loose change :D

I found out WHY the Board is having trouble. Seems the rodents are playing games when they should be working!

Currently, the capybaras' list of demands includes mango pickle with naan, Barbara's blue cheese and jalapeno cheesy poofs, and a case of Westvleteren 12. Good luck with that last part: They're getting picky.

The server upgrade a few months ago. (http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=404617)

The capybara are also modest and sensitive and hate being talked about so I should close this thread before they get their feelings hurt.
