This Should Be Interesting...
« on: August 05, 2002, 06:04:25 PM »
I'm going to have to take a look at the server stats later tonight and see what the useage for these two hours is going to be.

Not that it's a bad thing, but it will be interesting to see what about 6 to 8 people can do to it in 2 hours time.

I'll get back to this sometime after midnight when they all refresh.

Heh... should be fun.  I don't know about anybody else, but this is probably the most I've posted in any given forum for about 6 months.

Do? Do WHAT exactly?

Post messages? Wreak havoc?

Only 6-8 people? Hah, shouldn't take
long.

Yea, I haven't seen you too active on HN in a while Revka.

And as for this forum being wrecked, I think it's going to take a lot more than just 6 to 8 people to mess with it. The server it's hosted on is rather diesel.

I love it when I download a full backup off of the server. 610+kb/sec all throughout the download. Fast as hell. Faster than the old server it was on. That's for sure.

I've been on HN every day for a while... but I haven't posted anything because I haven't had anything worth while to say.

Nice... let's try to do that again.  Uh... but not until Friday.  I'm gonna do some demolition work at my parents house for the next few days.  I'm fully expecting to tear down about 4 or 5 walls.

Yes, it was fun.  I would finish posting something and go back to the forum right away and then find that somebody had posted in that very same thread (about 10 seconds after I did).  It was interesting trying to keep up with that.

Then it doesn't make sense anymore. Once stuff like that starts to happen, and people are replying to things before your post and they don't quote it, it looks really messed up.

I've only had that happen to me a few times thus far, and most of the time I always quote people so that doesn't happen, or incase they try to change what they say, you (and others) always know what you're talking about.
