'Day' is a vestigial mode of time measurement based on solar cycles. It's not applicable. I didn't get you anything.

A thread to discuss naming threads, board policy, new thread suggestions, and anything else that has to do with board administration and maintenance. Guaranteed to include lively debate and polls. Natter discouraged, but not deleted.

Ann, that's a ferret.

OK, ita.

I hadn't noticed the new default because mine is already set at 30.

Nobody is saying let's stop growing.

I understand that. But if we're already violating our contract, and this is August, how much worse will it be in October?

I guess I don't understand how you can say "we could get thrown off by our host tomorrow" on the one hand and NOT see it as a situation requiring emergency measures. Has all of this been explained elsewhere?

Have you been following along in Board?

Have you been following along in Board?

Sorry, but no. Is there a specific post or series of posts you could point me to?

This is probably a really stupid question, but are there things we can be doing as users to decrease the load, sort of the posting board equivalent of setting the thermostat to 68 in the winter? IOW, should I set my posts per page higher, and/or wait until there's a dozen new posts in Natter or Bitches before I read instead of just one or two?

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

The most recent discussion of how to optimize the board starts here.

Should we just get rid of the random quote generator until bobita can code a quote of the day? I love the quotes. I could totally do without them forever and ever, in any form. It seems if we're already in violation, and we know that's a hit on the server, we ought to kill it now.

Thanks, jess. I'll add the thread to my sub list.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm with Cindy -- let's go ahead and yank the quote. Or leave one up there static.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Or leave one up there static.
