The sensible company never upgrades its equipment until its fully depreciated. That thing’s got some time in it yet.

TMI, dude, TMI!

Especially when you consider “Intel” is the nickname for hamster #4.

When come back, bring breeze.

I breezed once…in 1960…for about 20 minutes.

Damn you! I missed it by this much…

[Brainiac4]

Ah, it’s a 1920s style “breeze ray”.

[eleanorigby]

I get timed out, too. I figured it was the board’s way of saying–stop talking.
You mean this happens to other people? :eek:
(I can’t test this at work, all bb’s have been banned at work-access denied ).

Still yet even more minutes earlier:

@Clothahump

This is, by count, the 1st attempt to post this message. I have no idea what I’m complaining about yet.

[Queen_Bruin]

I’m breezing with the intensity of ten thousand suns!
Damn solar winds.

Well, no.

But it can occassionally feel that way.

@Hal Briston

Hmmm…

I had the same thought.

Yeah, pay attention!

Back in the old days this place just crawled along.

These days, I can’t remember the last time something timed out while here, but it was quite awhile ago.

[wolf_meister]

See ??? I told ya !!! Once they started switching to paid subscriptions, they were just going to take our money and run. Okay so they didn’t do that immediately. All right it took them over a year but still there you have it. No doubt they wanted to lull us into a false sense of security. I am outraged. :mad:

Hey. If I can search new posts, pick a thread, skim down to the bottom, hit Quick Reply, type in my answer, Submit, hit new posts again, find another thread, skim down to the bottom, hit quick reply, type in my answer, and get told that I have to wait 30 seconds before I can post again, the BOARD is NOT SLOW.

Me too, but I didn’t inhale.

Thanks, Gangster! Now I have to change my underwear - pissed myself laughing!

Sure, it’s like that for 98% of attempts. But I’ve had at least dozen timeouts today already.

[Ethilrist]

… then there’s the possibility that it’s your machine, or your network, or you modem, or your phone company, or your ISP, or the Internet itself…

[GorillaMan]

Sure, even though it happens whether I’m at home or work, and only on this board, it’s gotta be a third party that’s at fault.
