My connection seems to be working fine NNS. Perhaps Steve, the owner, has just got you on a lower level server. The elite members, I've heard, are routed through a more powerful one.

Well it comes and goes...I think it may have something to do with the quality of my avatar at a given moment...I'm thinking little ole Christmas legs got through just fine...

I pass numbers of posts ending in two zeros every few days. Those milestones are so <yawn> ordinary.

I might get a little excited at 2000, but 10,000 should be cause for some champagne cork popping.

That's funny.

Or maybe Steve reads everyone's private messages and he's not happy with something you said recently.

Actually, I've noticed that the server is busy more of late. Which is a bit perplexing because you'd expect that traffic is lower around this time.

I think Steve might have to invest in some more powerful servers soon. I don't know how he does it actually. I'm not a techie, but there must be a huge amount of server space required to keep all the pictures that are uploaded onto every thread around the forum.

Here's the worst experience at Cycling Forums. You just finish a long post and submit it, and the server comes back with its "too busy" page. And then, when you go back, your post is no longer there. I usually "copy" my longer posts now before submitting them though.

Hi there

I've ordered more ram for the database server and will upgrade the forum software later this week or early next week. I've been putting upgrading off for about 2 years, may as well do it soon.

cheers

Okay, college football fans...I had on a Missouri Tigers cap today...and a four year old says to me..."Why do you like Mizzou?" Damn kids today....bunch of fair weather fans!

how do you get out of not paying your parking tickets?

I didn't say I got out of them...I just said I didn't pay them.

Seriously, I had a ten dollar ticket for parking on the street on street cleaning day...and I forgot about it, so now I get a thing in the mail saying I have to pay 40 bucks. So being the world's worst procrastinator just cost me 30 dollars.

And my license plates were expired for about five days, because I really am the world's worst procrastinator, and I'm driving around thinking great, I'm gonna get pulled over for the plates, and get arrested for a parking ticket...

I am a dangerous woman!

BTW -- nice to hear from ya!

Okay, that JUST happened to me. I will copy now as well.
