Slowed to a crawl for me too, I thought it was because of another site I had open.
DX's last post in Bur'cy showed up for me as 3510 of 3511, btw, with no following post.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Here are my traceroutes, the first from when b.org was effectively unresponsive, and the second when it was fine.

I was just popping over to mention how excruciatingly slow the board is being.

Me too. Pre-death WX level slow.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Haven't been able to get in for awhile.

Am I correct in thinking that the slow periods always seem to occur around the same time in the day? It seems that it's always early evening here (mid-afternoon board time) when things grind down.

No other candidate is asking the hard questions, like "Did geophysicists assassinate Jim Henson?" or "Why is there hydrogen in America's water supply?" --defective yeti
I never notice the slow periods. My regular dialup speed must be slower than an excruciating grind on broadband.

Am I correct in thinking that board problems in general always seem to happen when we're in the midst of bureau/lightbulbitis?

Except lightbulbitis was not at peak. And Noumen, I'm on dial-up and noticed the difference.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Was it me sucking? I bet it was us sucking. People have been researching.
Maybe now would be a good time to provide static archives of all the once-sucked threads so we're not engaging in multiple repetitive suckage.
This is probably the porniest BaBB post I've ever posted.
