What's going on with the boards?

How come the boards are funky today? Sometimes I click and it takes forever to get the message: “This page unavailable.” Then I immediately click again and quite often the page comes up blazing fast.

Sunspots.

Not sunspots. :rolleyes:

Lemurs, quite obviously

Ted Koppel.

It’s the rude elevator guy; he made it back to his desk and now wants to take over the internet.

Is it just today? (3 “timed out” messages to open this thread; 5 “timed out” messages to edit.)

I thought this had been happening for a while, but more and more lately.

Sadly, I was waiting for someone else to pit this (and waiting to see if it was just my experience).

I blame white people. Plus, Clinton got a blowjob.

It’s not uncommon for the board to time out on me a dozen times a day.

Morning, middle of the day, 3AM…doesn’t seem to matter.

Hasn’t it pretty much always been like this?

As it was in the beginning
Is now and ever shall be
World without end
Amen, amen

Finally, all those years in the church choir turn out to be useful after all.

Bush lied, the boards died.

Nah. It used to be a gazillion times worst. Or a bigger number than gazillion. There were a whoooole lot less people here. The boards would go down-- and I mean no posting for more than a day-- at least twice a month. It took (not exaggerating) 5 or 6 minutes to open a thread. The general practice was to click a link and go to some other site for a while. Remember the double, triple quadruple posts (trust the cgi. . .)?
Good times. Good times.

Whenever this happens, look around for Robert Goulet.

I blame gay marriage.*

I do remember that from my early lurking days. It was so aggravating that I stopped coming here for years.

Anyhoo, it’s time to scapegoat. Deadbeat lurkers are stealing the bandwidth I’m paying for! Fuckers.

Clinton got a blow job; Bush couldn’t score one in Tijuana. That has no effect on the board behavior but I think it needed to be said.

The hamsters have gotten into the marijuana stash again.

I blame Rhubarb.*

Thanks for the opening. You know that Tuckerfan can appreciate its all purpose, all occasion, all inclusive poachable use.
