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?
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.

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?

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.

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).

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:

My samspade.org traceroute has the congestion starting from the twtelecom.net part of the path.
