Fast Forums tonight!

Miscellaneous Forums/General Discussion/Fast Forums tonight!

Because there's lots of chatter when things go slow on the forums, I thought I'd just say "Hey!" because tonight things are FASTER than ever!

Thanks BR! It is a much more pleasant experience when you don't have to wait 15-25 seconds a page on a 2MB broadband line!

IPete2.

The forums don't like me - nobody likes me.

Yeah seems good to me now. Was slow earlier today tho' Maybe no one is on them?

it's faster now!

Once puki slows down posting it speeds up.

Much faster today.
Probably because it's Monday
(Stat. holiday for me though :D )

Lol Wayne. Sadly, that's probably completely true.


Good god... discussion of forum speeds is getting frigheningly frequent. A bit like talking about the weather, don't you think?

god puki. Why do you keep commenting like that? Obvously nobody likes you.

Actualy j/k.

I fell asleep on the Big Bandwidth button again. Sorry... must've cost poor Mark a fortune last night.

Do you have a grudge against the Pixies?

Just out of curiosity; how much bandwidth (transfer speed + data handling) does www.blitzbasic.com handle on an average day/week/month?

I don't post that much these days - maybe 3-5 posts in a day.

that post took 22 seconds.

Can you fall asleep on the 'donate money to me by paypal' account?
Preferably cheek falling onto the numeric keypad first so you can hit a few 7,8 and 9's on the way down to the mouse button. :)

"Death to the Pixies" is the name of one of their albums.

I think it's strange that all you broadband users are getting such slow access. I rarely have to wait over 5 seconds to load any page (except the home page, which has lots of pictures). The funny thing is that I am on dial-up and I'm getting it faster than dsl... :)

That last post took exactly 4 seconds to post and return to the general forums page. :)

Once the page starts to load it's usual fine (fast) - it's just that there's often a long wait, after clicking a link, before the page actually starts to load. Posting is often even worse - often having to wait several minutes before it uploads.

Nice try at making us broadbanders jealous of you dial-uppers though, John. :P

I just got a stinky slow post. Closed the window in the end.

I'm on modem too with no slowdowns. It's all you broadband eaters! :)

I can remember the Internet in like 1995 when everything was fast without broadband, even on dial-up and the internet wasn't full of loonies, no pop up ads and spam was meat in a can.

I had a 14.4 then, woo!
