Has anything happened to make the boards load much quicker recently? I’ve noticed they are loading quicker and thus I can visit more. (aren’t you glad about that?)

note: Not complaining or anything, just curious if a change was made. nothing changed on my end.

Jerry the Tech God made some modifications to our board software and hardware, that’s where all this goodness comes from.

Enjoy!

not to rain on parades, however the new speedy board is cutting into my reading time. before i was able to fit in several pages of a book while waiting, now however… i can barely fit in a paragraph or two.

the above is just a wee complaint. i agree that jerry is a tech god and should be sent tributes hourly.

Just send 'em all to me (along with any money, alcohol, chocolate, drugs, etc.) and I promise to make sure Jerry and his staff gets them.
