This Site's Heavy Load-Part II, The Unhijacked Version
« on: April 04, 2008, 03:54:47 AM »
Way to go, Fred!  I've never seen this many people wandering around the site.  Hopefully, they're all clicking on the ads to help support it.  You'll have to let JB know his new book has a ton of interest.

Yes, fred, ....

We really appreciate your ability to keep it up this long tonight. I know last night.... there were some challenges.... but you know, it's better now and I'm sure I speak on behalf of everyone when I say we're really happy to see it hasn't gone down again so far.  ;)
If you are up to no good, please do no good for me too, okay?   ;D

I think your character has taken over your brain.  That somehow sounded so...dirty.

A good chunk of that credit goes to Priscilla.  She and I both have the power to restart the server, now, so there's a much improved chance of bringing the thing back up when it dies.

We've seen at least 4 or 5 crashes in the last 48 hours.  Together, we've made those as invisible as we could.

You BOTH ROCK! It would be awful for new fans to come here to see what Jim's talking about and get the 404. *shudders*

Thanks to You, Fred, and all the Mods, for all you do to keep these boards going!

This is going to start that whole standing O thing that got the last thread by this name hijacked, isn't it?

Yes, Fred, you and Priscilla are the bees knees, the cat's pajama's, the straw in my single malt.

OK, that last one was a little weird.  Blame two nights of little sleep reading Small Favor and posting in the book section.

That's why I spelled it out.... to avoid such confusion, since you felt it necessary to point out the filth inherent in my previous comment. Sheesh, try to be effusive and what does it get you? A reputation....

Let's see if I have this straight...

You think *I* gave you the reputation?

Make that 5 or 6 crashes, Fred! :D

Methinks dedicating the book to the forum-going fans may have been ill-advised, as far as our little server is concerned. :D

I only noticed three.  Perhaps I have more of a life than I realized.

Well, let's ride out the storm and see if it eases up.

Looking at the google ads report widget in terms of numbers of ad "impressions" given out, it looks like we've probably experienced a 50-80% increase in traffic in the last three days.

Gooooooooo JIM FORCE
