Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

I was experiencing extreme slowness-to-deadness from the threads (but not from the board itself) and then got the following error:

There has been an error. It's of the type we call fatal. Please don't be scared. You're not the one that's going to die.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Restarting mysqld helped a little, but the server is still very, very slow.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

The internet as a whole has been very slow for me today.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

Is fine here in the UK

Trust my rage

I can never remember if this is helpful or not, but I just got this error while trying to post:

I just got a similar error trying to post, but then I tried again and it was OK.

Our wings are not tired.

Likewise, at the same time, but I lost the post and ran out of time and out the door to work.

buffistas on iPhone for the win. This is easily the quickest site I've used.

I'm worried about the posts mysql table. I think it needs to be repaired/reindexed/vacuumed or something. By someone who knows more about mysql than I do.
