However, aside from not knowing exactly what a hampster is referring to on this boards, I think I can take a guess.
It’s slang for the server that runs this board, no? The more page loads it has from people, the more slow it gets, that right? If not, then I apoligize for being ignorant, but if that is the case, it would see someday we’d get so many members regestered and on at the same time that the hampster machine would just overload.
Smoke would start to come out of the poor, little creatures’ ears, their legs will finally get tired, and lo and behold; in that musty Chicago attic; the poor critters will just up and kick the bucket.
Poor, poor hampsters. When that day comes we shall mourn the loss of the cutest balls of fluff that were ever spawned to run this board.
[hijack]And while I’m at it, I think I’ll hijack my own thread even before it starts if it’s possible. What’s the deal with this smilie? :dubious: It doesn’t even look like it belongs in with the rest of them.
Here we have nice oranges, cool purples, wonderful hues of blue and red, then we have this colorless facade: :dubious: Which, by the way, looks warped to boot.
But hey, I guess it needs to make room for that eyebrow.[/hijack]
Anyway, I’m sure we’ll all be sad for the hampsters’ deaths.
Yes, you’ve almost got it. I believe each board server is powered by a hamster, who has been enslaved and forced to run incessantly on a hamster-wheel, which powers a wee little generator.
Sadly, these hamsters are underfed, resulting in their need to eat posts sometimes to boost their caloric intake. Sometimes they are so dazed by their lives of oppression and dolor that they post things twice for you, whether you hit the “post” button twice or not. It’s their only tool for self-expression.
Won’t happen. I know for certain that Jerry the Tech God is presently doing genetic research to create Super-Hamsters[sup]TM[/sup] to power the server.
They will be stronger, faster… He can do it, he has the technology
Have you not wondered what exactly they are serving in the Barbeque Pit? Those tastly little barbequed nuggets? Dead hamsters. Those tasty barbequed ribs? Eh…let’s not dwell on that one…I wouldn’t want to ruin your pit dining experience.
:dubious:
This little guy has always looked like a pirate with his eyepatch slid above his eye to me.
;j
This is the one that I don’t “get”. I’ve been around quite a while and don’t recall any explanation of this one.
I stated in another thread that they should really consider upgrading to raccoons. Much more intelligent. I worry about the extra post’s they would need to consume for sustenance though. Perhaps that’s why they chose hamsters in the first place…
When that day comes we shall mourn the loss of the cutest balls of fluff that were ever spawned to run this board.
