I find that the above mantra help me calm myself the fuck down when I encounter a Boards-related delay, which seems to be a very frequent occurence today. Also when I lose posts due to board slowness.
I do not know whom I’m addressing by “you” BTW but it definitely has something to do with the SDMB.
I hope this information is useful to someone.
Doubtful.
Um…you know what’s also helpful? Pushing yourself away from the computer, talking a walk, and calling your wife on your cell to tell her how wonderful she is. Or husband, kid, or best friend, as the case may be.
This is probably more of a Pit thread than an ATMB thread. Moved.
Okey-dokey, but I put in ATMB because it was a means of addressing Board issues that there doesn’t seem to be a lot of motivation in getting fixed. It’s not a very inventive pit thread.
I mean, this is getting really silly and really old to have a malfunctioning, delay infested buggy messageboard that we keep getting told is being worked on. What would you recommend as a reasonable timeframe to having these crashes, delays, lost posts etc resolved, after which we can just mutter and curse constantly? This summer? 2010? Never?
Did you mean to post this three months ago? Since the board was upgraded, I haven’t experienced any timeouts or even slowness. Okay, some occasional database errors (like maybe once a week), but backing up and trying the link again invariably works. That’s still a problem, but it’s a hundred times more reliable than it used to be.
Yeah, prr. Did you step through that rip in the space-time continuum? I thought I put up a sufficent warning sign, but maybe someone took it down.
I haven’t had one single problem in months, now
You know what that means…
Oh wait, I’ve got it. prr did post this three months ago, and it only just now hit the site. 
That’s funny. No, I’ve been having a hard time all day long today. Losing posts, long delays, grrrrrr…
Jokes aside, that does suck. It’s unlikely that it’s the board’s fault, though.
My browser is abbreviating your title to “Goddamn you, you fucking pie”
I am disappointed.
Okay, maybe by “you” I just mean “me.”
I was getting all excited over a prr Pit thread. And all I got was this?! My disappointment knows no bounds.
Couldn’t you at least make something up to rail about since we’re already here? 
Naw, I prefer PRR’s method.
Me, I’ve been experiencing almost exactly the same amount of timeouts, freezes, and slowness. Sporadically, but then it always was. It doesn’t matter whether I log on at home or at work–where I have a superfast connection and a somewhat better computer. Same thing.
I will say this, it’s better than it was 5 years ago, when I could barely post anything and could only read one-page threads (or the first page of multi-page threads).
So I have a crossword puzzle next to the computer…
And you know the worst part? We have to pay to be treated like this! :rolleyes:
NO you don’t. :smack:
Or did you miss the part about you don’t have to pay to play here anymore??? :rolleyes:
I think you got whooshed.
I’m not paying, but then again I did not get any pie either.
