Could someone give The Straight Dope server a kick..

it’s lagging bigtime…this shit is pissing me off now, what’s this joint run on?, popcans and string.
Cecil reach into your damn pocket and give us a break, i’m trying to load posts with my cable modem and its slow as fuck…come on man…geeeezzuz

Only good time of the day is around 1 in the bloody morning, goddamnit Cecil, that’s it I’m coming down there and beating your ass.

expect me soon,
concrete
ps: don’t expect me to hold your hair back next time you feel like being an asshole.

Well, at least it’s not just me! I was wondering what the problem was…

At least I know it’s not just me. For a while I thought my system was just being. It’s slower than my inbred cousin Rufus from Kentucky and I keep getting timeout messages, so I’m not even sure if my posts are going through.

I say we all chip in. If 1,000 of us contribute $10 each, we can buy the SDMB a kick-ass server.

yup, i was trying to post to some thread but I had to give up. Now I can’t find it. What kind of server is this? The kind you have to wind up first?

Thank God it’s not just me!!

I’ve just changed my ISP and thought there was a problem with that, but no.

There seem to be a lot of people signing up to the SDMB - perhaps we’re overloading it?

It always seems to be the slowest around noon for me. Today, I couldn’t even get into the message boards. A page kept coming up saying it was too busy.

SingleDad has a good idea…

Well…at least the board hasn’t crashed.
I’d give ten bucks towards a better server.
