Poxy fule

Actually, while Nick would bring the surefire roffles, perhaps it would be better to select jaymc from that particular cohort, as he would be more helpful in reconstructing the missing pieces of the fullblown ILX.

Are these code issues, traffic issues or a combination?

Simon's under the table, cursing super-strong cider which he claims he hates but curiously can't seem to stop drinking.

the cider is all stet's fault. still, it makes a change from the time he forced me to drink double vodka and blue aftershock. or was it double blue aftershock and vodka? either way, i don't remember much about the next day. or the one after that.

This is what I have learned from Ned. And ILX.

While subscription is closed at present, understandably so -- I'm not a member myself -- you can still read all the posts if you want to keep track. *VERY* technical, though, so unless you can stand that your eyes will glaze over. But suffice to say a number of good points have already been addressed which will help speed up the database/reduce bottlenecks/etc.

I would just about get behind dumping the DB and starting fresh, and everybody could have 30 days or whatever to save their favorite threads. It would be interesting to start from scratch with basic topics like "Sex: C/D" with a mix of old-time ILXors (whose outlooks might have changed) and newcomers. But I know that's been brought up and pretty much discarded as a plan.

(since ken c isn't here, someone has to do the parody threads...)

Hooray for all of you at thehole.net! (which is my default typo when I try to get here, inexplicably.)

poxy fule 1 = admin doing some admin thing (couple of minutes)
poxy fule 2 = too many people visiting the site (longer)
timeout = even more people trying to visit (hours on end)
other timeout = something else happens which can sometimes be solved by Andrew?

B-b-but I'm afraid of sharks!

ILX is mostly down at the moment so it's kind of hard to diagnose anything when you don't know if what you're trying to connect to is even available.

(type "ping ilx.p3r.net" and/or "ping ilx.wh3rd.net" from a command prompt)

"tracert ilx.p3r.net"

That might show you where it's timing out.
