Dude, you need a new host. THis is rediculous. It takes days to load a page, and as the site I visit most, this has become way more then annoying. I can point you in the right direction for a solution, hell, we'd all cough up the loot for a real server, but this ones got to be fixed or moved.
No, he just needs to delete
EVERY FUCKING POLITICAL THREAD! AND LOCK THEM FOR GOOD!
I loathe bush, I've sprayed here how I loathe him. Pro/Con - this isn't the place.
agreed................
WE are going on a bigger, beefier box this week.
by the way i it ain't cheap. We are using about 900 gigs a month in bandwidth right now.
yay! Censorship! :rolleyes:Quote:

To be fair this is a SKI forum; he's not asking you to stop talking about SKIING is he?Quote:

OWENS! WE'RE SLEEPING ON YOUR COUCH! THE LEAST YOU COULD DO IS GET THE COUCH CUSIONS STEAMCLEANED AND RUN OUT FOR BEER ONCE AND A WHILE! DID YOU WAX MY SKIS LIKE I ASKED YOU TO? DAMN!

Are we sending the server heliskiing?
Call me a technocrat, but I'm not so sure that WiFi extends deep into the Chugach....

ha! that would certainly change the landscape around here - charge a subscription fee. What would happen to all of those aliases???
Okay, okay, maybe $20 is alittle steep. I was just thinking of how much my last bag of H cost, and since posting/reading here is arguably as addictive, it might be a better substitute. And with less track marks.
Seriously, I just think it's rad how much effort Owens puts into this place on all of our behalf, and whether we give $ or just simply say thanks, he deserves it.
Not a subscription, per se, but a suggested donation. But that's a great point...if it were a subscription the alias population would wither. Who'd pay for Iceman?Quote:

Very few of the alisaes ever amass more than 100 posts, plus it wouldn't be a turn-off for the jongs since they could join the community without dropping any cash. On the other hand, I think a donation model would probably be just as successful (if not more so).
i'll pony up the money for iceman. i owe him a few drinks anyways.Quote:

What happened to being nice, especially to the one person who is doing all this for us here?
Yes, it loads slow sometimes lately, but you certainly can ask Chris in a NICE way to find out if something can be done.
And archive the political threads for sure, I do like that idea.
I do believe I just got spancered!Quote:

Bandwithis soooo annoying on a site like this.
I would be willing to donate some cash so they get their own server.....that's co-located.
Oh gawd you guys, quit your fucking crying already. I offered to throw him money, Owens is lucky to have such a successful site. Was just voicing frustration of it taking 2 minutes to load a page, if and when it does.
You guys don't have to take sides and make an issue out of everything, go skiing already.
Hurry up and fetch me my skis, bitch! I'll even pay you.
No offense taken. It's mellow. I agree. It's been frustrating. The new box will solve a lot. We've been fending off tons of Denial of Service attacks too. Not cool. Look at it this way - for every time you've had a page that takes 2 minutes to load, I've had an hour of cussing and dealing to do.
Anyway - no need to donate. Just show some patience and know that I'm working on it. I got yer backs.
well i'm still going to spancer iceman, if you don't mind.
thnx ons...
I bow before greatness.Quote:
