OWENS!!!!!! SERIOUSLY!!!!

**Blurred** · 11-04-2004, 12:35 AM

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.

**midget** · 11-04-2004, 12:58 AM

agreed................

WE are going on a bigger, beefier box this week.

yay! Censorship!

He mentioned a couple days ago they were getting hit with Denial of Service attacks a lot. That coupled with the election fallout traffic could amount for the slow servers.

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

You do realize this isn't about an obese girl's meat curtains, right?

I see those anger management and manners classes are starting to work.

**phUnk** · 11-04-2004, 10:11 AM

I find the tone of the original post rude and insouciant.

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!

What phUnk said. You need to pass a collection plate? I'd proudly be the first of about 500 people to throw in $20.

**bad_roo** · 11-04-2004, 10:35 AM

Are we sending the server heliskiing?

**Lane Meyer** · 11-04-2004, 10:37 AM

Call me a technocrat, but I'm not so sure that WiFi extends deep into the Chugach....

Bwa!

And I'll happily chip in. I think it is a novel idea that if you don't buy any TGR merchandise, you contribute $5 or however much each year. JMHO.

**yogachik** · 11-04-2004, 10:56 AM

ha! that would certainly change the landscape around here - charge a subscription fee. What would happen to all of those aliases???

**Lane Meyer** · 11-04-2004, 11:00 AM

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?

**AntiSoCalSkier** · 11-04-2004, 11:15 AM

If you did want to go to a subsciption model, you could let the first 100 posts be free (sort of like drug dealers do). 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.

**Buzzworthy** · 11-04-2004, 11:34 AM

Brett, totally uncalled for and rude. Got to speak up on this one.

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.
