A quick, easy, and pinless way to free up some bandwidth for the SDMB.

It seems appropriate, at this time, to mention a few things:

  1. Thanks be to Jerry Davis, and anyone else who had anything to do with the Incredible Board Speedup!

  2. If the past is any indication, the suddenly increased ability of the Straight Dope’s server, software, etc. to handle the traffic the Teeming Millions generate here, will be consumed by increased traffic, before we know it. So:

  3. I’m still rooting for the CR to institute some means of generating revenue from us SDMB members, since some sort of positive correlation between traffic and revenue is the only way to keep the hamsters supplied with meth, long-term. :slight_smile:

But I’ll stop joggling your elbow for a little while, guys. Thanks again, and good luck.

Gee thanks RTFirefly! I had totally forgotten about this generating revenue thing. I’ll get right on it, starting tomorrow when the child of morning, rosy-fingered dawn, appears.

Maybe one reason the board’s so slow is that some people keep posting the same sarcastic, nonproductive, nonhelpful comments? :slight_smile:

I don’t think RTFirefly was being sarcastic.

I don’t think dan was talking about me. :smiley:

Vanity of vanities; all is vanity.

We oughta do something about all those vanities. Burn them up, maybe.

Yeah, that’s it. Make a big bonfire out of 'em. :wink:

groaaaan :slight_smile:

I say keep them occupied instead. Throw them a carnival. Or a fair.
