I have never participated in any high-volume online discussion board that didn't have its share of server issues.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I bet I could write an online discussion board in ASP for IIS, using ODBC to connect to an Access (or text file) back-end that would have lots and lots of server issues.
I mean, there's a shitload of ways to do it wrong.

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

Even the discussion boards built around top of the line commercial packages, like TableTalk, PeoplesForum, and WorldCrossing (which all use the same package), all had problems at one time or another. WX took months to work out their worst issues.

Hey. New board.
I have no doubt of that. Mostly was just curious. I'm a big fan of letting other people do my work for me, but I'm glad there are those out there that like attacking things for themselves.

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
Is WXing fixed, now? Also, is Roll Your Own archived? It must be. I'll find it.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
WX has been pretty stable for months.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
WX has been pretty stable for months.
Not for me -- last week was a bear for me to get in. But much more stable than the last time it broke hard.

Yeah, this last week WX has been annoying as heck.

The first RYO thread is in the attic at WX, and I also have copies of everything that's in the attic. The discussion that got it all going was in the TT Bureaucracy thread, and that's archived over here.

Is the board incredibly slow for anyone else? It's loading, but it's taking 45 seconds or so per page. I'm on Windows NT, running Mozilla Firefox.
