So I sign on to the board again for the first time since June 26 (not that anyone noticed), and I decided I’ll check the ‘View New Posts’ button as an easy way to catch up on what I’ve missed.
Holy farking fuck. There were not 175 new posts, nor new threads, but 175 pages of threads containing new posts, unread by me. Four thousand, three hundred, seventy of those threads. Woooooooow.
I figured I’d just go through the various forums instead, that way it won’t seem like so farking many.
So then I click a button to go to the SDMB main page, and it nearly freezes on me. Seeing that, I try going through the quick link bar to get to MPSIMS, and it does the same thing. I see this threat and open up a new window to go to the Straight Dope, so that maybe I’ll get there faster. That window came up with a 404. Oh crap, three friggin works worth of posts and I’m about to lose alllll of it because of a connection problem or a board crash or something, I thought. If it was a board crash it would probably be my fault, considering all those pages of unread posts those wheelie rodents would have to keep track of.
And then I did. :smack:
Kafunkityschnunksonnabunkinhunkabistroclunkitybunk! Says I.
Then I think, “You know, life’s funny.”
Then I thought, “sonnabitch.”
Eventually I think I’ll write a sequel to that one ‘Saga’ post I wrote, or something. I dunno. I got so many friggin threads to surf through now, man.
