I have noticed a significant increase in the speed to my postings here. Since the board cahngeover I was experiencing delays of up to ten minutes and now it is almost instantaneous through my T1 connection. Thanks for a job well done. HUGS! Sqrl ---

I was kinda scared to say anything for fear of jinxing the board, but I have had very good response times today. Hurray for the techies! (If the board now bombs due to premature celebration, blame Sqrl.) ---

Well, I noticed this morning it was still slow and around lunchtime it was down for some board maintenence. After awhile when I checked back in and it was up, everything was working really fast. Thanks again. HUGS! Sqrl PS. Doctor Jackson was the one who brought up the jinxing so he willed it into the universe which is a big part of magickal philosophy. If anything goes wrong blame him. hehehe ---

I’m almost afraid to add my words of praise here because I don’t want to jinx anything, but Woo-hoo! You guys rock! My day got so much better when I saw that the boards were speedy again. ---

Jerry tweaked a few things and I think this son-of-a-bitch is faster now than even vBulletin’s own board is. Ain’t it grand? ---
