This thread will most likely get bounced pretty quick. Don’t get me wrong I love the SDMB content wise, but not the way it locks up at busy parts of the day. Can anyone recomend message boards simular to SDMB (GD and GQ) that work a little better from a tech stand point? ---

Man, there’s a great one you just wouldn’t believe. Stephen Hawking posts there, as do Chief Justice Renquist, Martin Luther King III, and James Randi. Plus, it’s speedy as all get out. Can someone tell me how to do links? ---

The response time at the [teletubby message board](http://members.tripod.com/amyritchie/tubbymessageboard.html) is usually pretty decent. ---

Jesus, Arnold! That’s disturbing. Certainly **not** what I needed to see this damned early in the day. What were you thinking, man? ---

The [Backstreet Boys Message Board](http://venus.beseen.com/boardroom/g/16155/Date) comes across as pretty speedy too. They appear to have endless debates, just like we do. Maybe that’s an idea? ---

The secret is out. We now know what Coldie has bookmarked on his computer. ---

kellibelli, I’m not The God, just a god. But any discreet, tasteful worshipping is more than appreciated. Let it be known that UncleBeer won’t admit it in public, but in secret he has videotaped all the teletubby shows. He has a shrine to Laa-Laa in his house and often wears red jumpsuits on the week-ends. Coldfire, The Backstreet Boys?! Yuck! 😛 Come on over and join me instead for [talk on all things Britney](http://imusic.artistdirect.com/cgi-bin/bbs/bbs.cgi?x=BRITNEY%20SPEARS). ---

We’re letting this version stay in ATMB, but a little reminder, we do not like crossposting or deliberate duplicate postings on the Straight Dope Message Board. In fact, we can get quite riled up about it, so you don’t want to be doing this. Y’all keep on scaring one another with those links, now. 🙂 your humble TubaDiva Administrator PS I like this one. [The World According to America](http://users2.cgiforme.com/Bullock/cfmboard.html) It’s attached to a message board, so it might be a place for someone else to hang out if you’re hip to the subjects covered. Thanks to the former “Khronos” for the link. ---

I hate to say it, but that Teletubbies boards was hilarious. I’ll keep checking back on that one – if I see any references to felching or Jack Chick, I’ll know I’m not the only Doper there. Let’s keep away from the Britney Spears board. Too much intellectual debate going on there. ---
