Classic Bugs Bunny (and other WB cartoons, I believe) also said of foolish people "What a Maroon!" which is where the WFRR? character got his name.
I miss Oz. He'd get it. He wouldn't say anything, but he'd get it.

Do you have problems, concerns or recommendations about the technical side of the Phoenix? Air them here. Compliments also welcome.

Heh. That's how this conversation got started, with the Bugs ref. As DXM notes, it's a slangy corruption of moron.

I didn't get that joke until I was 20 or 21. I am a dolt.
Also just got the joke now.
And woohoo on the fewer connections.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
I quailed at actually calling myself a moron. Plus, maroon funnier. And conversation generating.
Bad natterer. Shutting up now.

Rob, there was nothing that would leak connections there any more than in any of the code.
Are the connections opened, used and closed all in one PHP function?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Opened and closed in one function, used wherever that function is called from.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
Wow, such a relief. And thanks to Kristen and Monique for guiding us through this crazy process. It's so helpful to have some real infomation when we're trying to figure out what the hell is wrong. Go you!

Bugs Bunny was also fond of the term imm-BEH-sell (i.e. imbicile).
Just for a celebratory useless post.

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.
Can't say I'm crazy about this idea. Perhaps if the day comes when I am able to monitor resource usage myself, we could try experimenting. But as long as I'm dependent on going through a chain of command to get those numbers, I'd prefer we left well enough alone.
Yeah, especially since the other thing wasn't done. If we WERE to try something like that, we'd want to turn it on or, say, 1 day, and get the numbers for that day. But, I agree, I wouldn't worry about it.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
Personally, if the loss of the random quote generator cut our resource usage in half, I'd have no objection to the quotes becoming a thing of the past. It was a nice feature, but I'd much rather we lose something that's essentially an accent than have to make major changes to board setup and people's posting/reading habits.
