Why is MPSIMS always fucking broken! I get to access it maybe 30 minutes a day!

I know! Tonight is the last time I get to post/read until Saturday night and it is driving me crazy!

This probably won’t make you feel any better, but the moderators are just as frustrated.

Ya, you should see the 10 or 11 posts that came through on the server but not on my browser in the “Best breakup song” string.

Yeesh…what an ass it makes me look like.

I know, man! WTF?? My only guess is that it has the most topics and the most posts. But then again, this board is probably stored on one server, so it shouldn’t matter, but hey, who knows…

MPSIMS always has the worst problems because it has the most people trying to post to it. Look at the numbers on the list of forums.

Ya wanna talk frustrating…our network was down last weekend, so I couldn’t access anything at all for a couple of days, then we get back up again, and sure enough, MPSIMS is down. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!  
How am I supposed to get any procrastinating done?

Yeah, me too! I really can only go for so long before I **need** to hear about some shmo’s 1000th post every two minutes. I also really need to participate in threads that have been done a million times before like “funny porno titles”. Plus, I need to correct people who honestly think that Jessica Rabbit is more hot than Bugs Bunny in drag.

Dammit! How am I supposed to survive?

Hey Biggirl,

Mayor Guliani announced today that he has been diagnosed with prostate cancer. I know this is the Pit, but jeez!

**Alphagene** , stop whining about MPSIMS and get your butt back up to General Questions. I’m actually trying to encourage some threads that don’t have to do with Star Trek and you’re not helping by spending your time down here.

“Front-load washers” is kicking the butt of “permian extinction event” by about four posts to one for Ghod’s sake, so I could really use the help up there.
