Just a report in from the other side of the _world_, let alone the country … I’ve had a wonderful day today, able to access SDMB even during the peak hours without having to watch spiders spin webs for jollies. It’s great! Well done! ---

I, too, want to thank you guys for a job well done. The speed since Monday has been nothing but fantastic! (It wasn’t that fast Sunday or Monday.) Did the Reader finally pop for the extra RAM? ---

Ok, so who can tell me what exactly the techs did? - I’m a network engineer, I just gotta know! 😃 ---

RAM’s been doubled, we’re now running over a gig. Not sure exactly what else got done, but they figured out something at the Reader and it’s apparently helping. I’m grateful for all of it, I’m still zipping around the system, what a deal! your humble TubaDiva Administrator ---

Somehow I find knowing that there are 94 fellow dopers and 12 lurkers on the board at the same time extremely cool, although I’m not sure why. Either way, the board blazes. Thanks! Fenris ---

Thanks, Jerry. The board is back up to the speed it had when I first joined. I like the logged in users feature as well, and I like it even better when it says who is logged in. ---

> [@](#): > > Sunshine said: > I just wanted to say thanks for whatever you guys did over the weekend! Ditto for me! I don’t post often or at all really, but I’m lurking faster than ever now. 🙂 Pages are loading; the board is flying and all at around 3:30pm here in Michigan. Plus there were over two hundred people on the boards a few minutes ago. I’m really impressed. My thanks and admiration to the Straight Dope Tech people, Kiley ---

I also must say that the boards now fly faster that flies to dog shit. Great job tech’s, and keep up the good work, the check’s\* in the mail.
