I've given up hope, actually.

If it gets out of control, then so be it. There won't be any warnings when the end is near.

You'll come home one day to find the locks changed, and empty space within. Eviction without notice, abandonment without an explanation.

I love the lounge as much as anyone else.

But even the great equestrian has seen a good horse to the grave after a bad break.

At which point, I will lose all hope. Guess I should cut back on my postings more.

EGA, it only seems like insanity to the unenlightened. Nice to see you back by the way.

We'll try to keep it to a minimum, then. I really don't know what I'd do if the Lounge was gone. It's quite honestly the last bastion of sanity in this whole damn board. If it was gone, I'd quite honestly leave and get back to my life which I have so badly neglected.

Wait, I never really had a life. Well, you guys know what I mean...

Actually Shrike, I'm not sure exactly what the problem is. I was querying Gooie's taunting the non-regs, but you seem to have taken a broader look on the whole situation. Is it, as we have guessed, an overabundance of posts or something else entirely?

I guess it's not entirely fair to the new guys.

Explanation:

This isn't a substitution for IRC or AIM or Yahoo or MSN. It's a thread. Like any other. Don't abuse it with pointless chat.

But it hasn't been that bad, lately. I don't know why Gooie was complaining. =\

I was refering to him asking to get this thread password protected, but yes it was kind of looking bad when Gooie stumbled upon a three sided conversation.

What is this...national "we should have this locked" day? First there's a topic on locking C & C, then there's talk of locking the lounge. Ah well, I understand what's being said, there have been a lot of illegal conversations going. For my part, I pledge to try and watch that as well. But, and I believe Shrikey said he would already do this, I think the mods have every right to just start deleting the posts of people who are breaking that rule, hey, they've been nice, we've been warned about three times now, so if they have to cut off a limb or two to save the patient, I say chop away boys.

No no no... Shrikey's kist making a friendly but firm warning, which will be followed up by small but necessary amounts of torture and death, and maybe some bans too.

And what's this talk of locking C+C? How can you lock a forum? Or do you just mean delete it?

How about no. I want to be able to get a job and I dont think killing the children will help in the future, unless I want a job making license plates or as a mailman.

Just to let everyone who cares (Sween) know, I won't be here next week as much as I had figured - apparently Boston is cracking down on the internet cafes and places of the like. It seems I'll have to bring my laptop and hook into MIT's high speed internet port. Yeah, that's where the Indiana Democratic Party ended up shoving me - MIT. Bah. Oh well, tomorrow I'm flying out and I'll give a full report for all the noobs who are criticizing it when I return.

Calm down, Max. It was a joke.

Even though the method is very easy. All you need is a wi-fi card, and you're guaranteed free broadband access in any major city.

Broadband………..ahhh.

My house if about 150 yards too far away from my nearest telephone connection hub thingy to actually get it.

Which is rather annoying.

Grr..

If you go with a new host, I've had great succes with webmasters.com, not a single outtage yet. Fairly cheap too, makes the religious and obssesive way I back up my forums seem almost unneccessary...almost.
