You got all kinds of learnin' and you made me look the fool without tryin', and yet here I am with a gun to your head. That's 'cause I got people with me. People who trust each other, who do for each other, and ain't always lookin' for the advantage.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

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.

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.

I read mostly when traffic is light, but Gus's little charts used to show me posting at all hours. I don't know why the board is never slow for me.

I was just being cheeky (or adjusting my tinfoil hat and wondering if the board was trying to spank us) - but Liese may have a point, there's probably been a lot of threadsucking, too.
