Remember, remember/the fifth of November/the Gunpowder Treason and Plot/I see no reason/Why Gunpowder Treason/Should ever be forgot.

I don't know, maybe it would be nice to have it on the sidebar with the filk and such...

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

How hard would it be to add a "50 Most Recent" link to the threads so that people could do the John H. Diet with ease?

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Why not just put something in the FAQ about changing the post # in the URL?

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

Man, I'm waiting up to 4 hours with IE, and still no error.

Are you still on the board in another window, though?

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

Nope. I tried overnight and everything.

This is going to take some puzzling out.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

I don't know if it's my connection or the site, but I'm on a T1 line and I've been getting timed out and having trouble connecting for abou half an hour (since 11:30 a.m. EST).

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

Host response time is glacial this morning.

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

Same thing is happening to me. It's taken me several tries to get to this page. No idea if post will take...

I can't pinpoint if it's a net congestion problem (other non-Hostrocket sites are dicking with me this morning as well) or a more localized one (since the server itself seems healthy).

It's definitely a hostrocket network congestion problem. Doing a traceroute to www.buffistas.org shows that the congestion starts as soon as the packets hit the hostrocket network:

$ traceroute www.buffistas.org
traceroute to buffistas.org (66.162.73.252), 30 hops max, 40 byte packets
