OT: SUBSCRIPTION SERVICE MUCH FASTER THAN REGULAR FORUMS!!!!!

[fkloster]

Damn, Anand must be running the subscription servers on P4's.. JESUS JUST KIDDING Seriously well worth the 30 bones!!

 

[Rainsford]

Yeah, you're right, it is well worth the $30 price tag. But I thought your post was flamebait for a second, don't even start sentences like that You had me scared, I thought the average intelligence on the boards was suddenly going to go down.

I've never had a problem with the speed here. Almost instantaneous on my cable modem.

I'm still on dialup!

My condolences go out to you bacillus.

hehe.. well if the forums again become as reliable as they were 2 weeks ago, there would be no reason for me to go subscribing.. right now sometimes I open a new thread in a different window, and get to it later, only to find it didn't load! I don't know why this happens (might be a problem on my end), but it does! it didn't happen before the server upgrade either..

but the real reason I probably won't subscribe, is cause I'm on a 56k modem!

I mean, pages ALREADY load fast (when the forums aren't slow, like they were October 31st). even when u cable modem guys are complaining, I don't feel a difference.. I'm satisfied, are u?

Seriously well worth the 30 bones!!

Now I'll have to take out another loan. Yeah, I'm broke as a mofo.

Anyway, I'll gladly support Anand's cause to keep his site and the forums going.

*$30 coming Anand's way*

Downloading music and movies from the forums is so much faster now. I love it!

 

[abaez]

Anyone who has ever used the hot deals forum and saved money should subscribe. That alone
is going to be and was worth it.

Ummm I just subscribed, but I still get banner ads.. anyone know whats going on?

 

[fkloster]

You need to go to the 'new subscriber' home page here.

 

[AmigaMan]

I just love it. So much faster. Although I don't know why I subscribed, been here since pre-Fusetalk and have only 250 some odd posts under my belt....

The forums were perfectly fine until 2 weeks ago when a supposed "upgrade" happened. Ever since, the forums slowed down considerably. It's a conspiracy I tell you.

2769 posts and you've never heard of the Off-Topic forum? Does the OT in your title make it okay to post here?

Thats why I went into this thread, I was waiting for the conspiracy theory to kick in. But I will admit the forums have been slow as molases these past few days.

Umm, and you would be who? Your damn right it makes it o.k. to post here. Don't like it? WTF are you posting in this thread for 'Jack the general hardware' newbie? Where were you 3 years ago when I began to support this quality BBS?

My compliments to Anand for the ultra quick server option

 

[jacklutz]

I apologize if I haven't been here as long as you and are thus inferior, but if I want to read about General Hardware issues, I go to the General Hardware Forum; when I want to read anything Off-Topic, or forum issues. There's at least one thread in the former, and one in the latter. This is redundant and off-topic.

Edit: 378 posts in the Off-Topic forum regarding the Subscriptions, nearly all with more information than your P4 remark. Amazing!

 

[AmigaMan]

jacklutz: Hush little boy. If Mr fkloster wants to post something about the subscription service then let him. If you don't like it, don't read it.

In other words, STFU!

 

[fkloster]

<< I apologize... >>



Apology accepted. After all, if the Boss can post about subscriptions in 'General Hardware' , then I can comment on subscriptions in 'General Hardware'!

 

[jacklutz]

It's worth noting that not only is that forum accouncement stuck to the top of all the forums, but Anand is, like you said, the boss.

It's also locked and thus not open for replies. Oddly enough, there's a "Subscription Suggestions" post by 'the boss' himself in forum issues that, even weirder, isn't locked!

 

[fkloster]

<< It's (the Boss' subscription thread) also locked and thus not open for replies. >>



And I am left to assume that if the Boss' thread were not locked, then you would 'tell him where to put his thread' too?

 

[jacklutz]

<< And I am left to assume that if the Boss' thread were not locked, then you would 'tell him where to put his thread' too? >>



That offers nothing to any discussion about whether or not this is the right place for a member to put a thread about subscriptions. But of course I wouldn't.

 

[Yourself]

no need for tactful replies fkloster

Something like this should suffice:

Please STFU jacklutz and move along...thanks!!!...Have a nice day!!

Flokster, you still considering dumping that P4? Dual 1900+XP's on the Epox M762 is looking mighty sweet

 

[InFecTed]

This thread should be locked because it has nothing to do with general hardware, simple as that.
It's kinda sad it still isn't. Maybe it will be moved to the top like some kind of THREAD-BANNER:disgust:
