Ecthy · June 26, 2003, 12:58

this was the first time.

Has anyone noticed the OT forum will refuse connections as server too busy before any other sections? If this is by design,

thats the reason

have a nice day

War4ever · June 26, 2003, 17:23

mine is still missing...and i notice some have them some don't....were they lost ??????

Maybe you should first of all read the most recent threads carefully. First of all they are not gone for good. All avatars have been temporarily disabled to decrease the server load, thus not actually erasing them.

Shame on you War4Ever, for not reading every thread on Apolyton

Q Classic · June 26, 2003, 23:21

ok, here's an idea.

not all of us can send in cash (being a college student and what not~). however, i might have some hardware lying around.

would you guys be willing to accept donations of hardware? either to increase settler-II's brawn, or to offload some of settler's duties to a second server, worker-I ?

alva · June 26, 2003, 23:27

Won't it cost more to send the stuff by post ?

Why not sell the hardware and then send the money

(keep some to buy yourself a beer though

)

Q Classic · June 29, 2003, 22:22

well, i'm in chicago for most of the year, where rah and ming are purported to be...

rah · June 30, 2003, 09:14

Purported, Purported.

Many posters have visited us here and have posted about the wonderful hospitality that was provided.

DrSpike · June 30, 2003, 09:17

The 'hospitality' once meant a 100% pcr for Tassadar IIRC.

Q Classic · June 30, 2003, 22:15

so is settler II stationed in chicago? if i can find any spare hardware, i could conceivably donate it when i go back to chicago for school again this autumn...

That's a kind offer, Q-Cubed, but as a commercially hosted site hardware donations are not suitable for Apolyton. Again, the thought is appreciated but this would be too difficult if not impossible to authorize and co-ordinate given current hosting arrangements.

Did you actually expect AH to keep his word? Of course he came back. In fact, I bet he never left.

Alexander's Horse · July 1, 2003, 03:02

Look up the word parody.

Agathon · July 1, 2003, 03:19

Start an official internet fund like that one for the French Jedi-Kid. I'm in for 10 bucks.

Ecthy · July 1, 2003, 03:38

He's also going to buy polywear again. He feels that urge.

geeslaka · July 1, 2003, 03:46

Who are you imitating AH?

Skanky Burns · July 1, 2003, 04:11

I thought it was obvious. People who throw a tantrum whenever something bad happens - such as slow servers or servers being down.

Dan - could you tell us a bit more about what =might= be a practical and suitable solution? Are the server problems indeed due to lack of good hardware/financial means?

Hmmm, he was in on the joke that night and was later credited all the posts lost that night.
