With the current server behaviour, how is one supposed to take part in any discussions? I need some advice here.

I was thinking of writing general easily adjustable arguments and (just leave some [insert topic]) write follow-ups on the same argument etc, and do a fast edit-copy-paste whenever the server let me, but that kind of take the fun out of it.

Most of the discussions are a bit serious at the moment anyway :(

*half heartedly opens a bottle of beer*

Yay? :?

That just won't do. :(

*Gets a beer as quickly as the server will allow*

I've pretty much given up today!

Join the club.

It's all getting way too serious. I'm at work for christ's sake!

I take it you completely processed that beer before the server allowed you to proceed. It takes the spontaneity out of discussion.

It feels like playing chess by snail mail, in Rangoon, during monsoon season, with a cowboy who depends on the pony express because the tracks for the rail road haven't been laid yet.

PS - I've had to submit this post 22 times. I only stayed with it to illustrate the point.

:shock:

*Opens a crate of beer*

Wonder how often I will have to do this?

Trying RPing! A pain.

*hands out appletinis to everyone*

:D

Appletinis?!...........Get Out! :x


Stinking underaged/T-totalling hippy. :evil:

the server is really annoying lately...it makes it not worth my time to reply to most things, and i really wish they could fix that. i like the debates around here, but the server behavior makes it tough to want to craft detail responses. and we don't need any more encouragement for one-liner responses, quite frankly.

*half heartedly opens a bottle of beer*

Yay? :? thats why im here, im here to lighten up the sad mood of the posters here who take it seriosly to post interesting and thpught provoking topics.
I find that it is my job to lighten up the mood presented by all those who are bad, i post stupid, interesting and even things so dumb that they are funny.
me and my frieds could participate in real disscussions but why, why?

i do enjoy when non-serious topics are proposed but i am also sad to see that not many people even look at them

come on people lighten up!!!!

Just who do we complain to as regards the server speed?...I run also on another forum and they upgraded their servers..is there a suggestion box we can email to state our displeasure with the current server situation?

I mean for mercy's sake..I keep dropping off the webpage

When we move to Jolt we won't have this problem any more. Hopefully it will be soon. *crosses fingers*

Do I smell beer?

*Posts* :o

[Has a beer]

Sigh.

[Goes back to reading a book. You know, those bound sets of papers with printed text. Yeah. It's come to that.] :cry:

Of course, I haven't been able to reply to any of you since I started this thread in the first place.

*settles for beer*

:o

Cheers to the oneliners, Bottle!

I'm sorry, what? :P

*has several beers in quick succession*

*joins in the beer race as long as it lasts*

Depressing. But hey, the wheather looks nice outside...

Glad you've got good weather...it's raining over here :(

*joins in the beer race as long as it lasts*

Depressing. But hey, the wheather looks nice outside...

weather lousy here - raining and the hills are blanketed by cloud. am so depressed. May I have a beer to cheer me up?

*rolls in two kegs*

Sure, there is enough beer to enjoy when the wheather or the lack of discussion brings none! :wink:

*drinks more beer*

Oh look! An opportunity! :D

At least with one liners, the multiple posts are less annoying :lol:

Jim SEE TWO LINES! 8)

think I must've missed something, what's Jolt?

*gets a beer in quickly*

It is getting worse :(

Jolt is the NS messiah...

Although I don't really believe in Jolt. Heard too much stories about it but no evicence you see.

*gets a beer in quickly*

It is getting worse :(

Or have you been in come back?

*drinks more beer to avoid getting even more confused*

this forum could be mistaken for a gathering of alzheimers patients

Anyone else have the sneaking suspicion we'll be changing servers when NS2 comes out, if you know what I mean :cry:

Has anyone had this happen?

See an interesting discussion; click to respond.

Unable to get response page to open. Keep trying to refresh, give up, go back to the index page and start over

Same thing happens three times.


You go back too far and have to sign in as your nation again

...which takes forever...

then get to the forum index


...which takes forever...

then into General


...which takes forever...

then into the thread


...which takes forever...


then you quickly try to enter your response


...the response page miraculously opens!


and by this time you can't remember what the thread was about, or what you were going to reply!

so you try to go back to the thread but you can't, you have to go to the forum index...then to general...then the thread... ... ...


:cry:

Not too bad. Did the New York thing last week. Didn't meet the nice Lower East Side Jewish girl that I've been saving myself for but I did eat the finest pastrami in the world!

And you don't want to go around meeting girls, we're all evil :wink:

I seem to remember demanding "don't you know who I am" at someone but I was a little tired and emotional at the time.

Snakes with tits as my friend calls them ;)

*drinks last beer and braces self for server crash*

Weren't we supposed to move to Jolt in April? There isn't much of April left.

And I could take offense at that...I'm not in the least bit snake-like :P

@Collab: Yes. Cheeers

This is an overtime post/Cheer according to Lord Eynon's estimation! :wink:

Probably not :(

Don't take offense, I'm sure it wasn't meant to include you somehow :?
