Before I leave, this morning's thinkgeek quote of the moment:

"Roses are #FF0000, violets are #0000FF
All my base are belong to you"

Ok y'all..... don't freak out!

The other night the boards went kaput for about 5 minutes and it was discovered that chain of songs and LTE were each causing problems, as well as the fact that a member used the sort feature. The three instances forced the server to shut down and reboot itself. This obviously isn't a good thing, so I am going to do an experiment.


Our three largest threads are getting locked, split and moved to the mod board where they will receive no traffic. I am splitting them because, if it turns out to not make a difference, they can be easily merged back together.

Yes, I realize there is going to be flack for this - but I can handle it.

Post count will NOT be affected.

Thanks everyone!

Whatever works :D :D

Why would there be flak?  ???

yep, looks like you found it  ;D ;D ;D


Why would there be flak?  ???


in general for all three threads...

Oh.  Whatever, ban the complainers ;D

Oh.  Whatever, ban the complainers ;D


yeah... that would work! ::) ;D ;D

So even accessing a locked LTE would break the board eh?

Gonna go 8)  770!

So even accessing a locked LTE would break the board eh?


Well, no.
But if it was locked and left in Wow, and a sort was done in the Wow, then it would definitely crush the server. ;)

This is just an experiment, if it doesn't show any improvement, the threads will be brought back. 8)

LTE rocks!

Oh.  Whatever, ban the complainers ;D

or divide their Karma points by 10  :D

works for me.

Whatever works :D :D

Sure, be difficult... :D

Hey,we're at 770!  :)

My Netgear keeps konking out on me.  >:(

Yay.  new chance to start posting gibberish!

Epic win. We need to start ueberposting though to get us back up to a silly number of pages.

so word to the wise....don't sort super long threads  ;D  btw it wasn't me!  I rarely sort.

oh and tam, out of curiosity,  when you say they were split how did you split them?

bobo should take this opportunity to start a live blog sports thread in the Sports part of the boards....

or even special sections...

Live Blog: Cricket
Live Blog: Baseball
Live Blog: Basketball
Live Blog: Soccer

etc....  ;)

oh and tam, out of curiosity,  when you say they were split how did you split them?


I just took the last two quotes from the LTE and split them, in order to make sure it was still the LTE. ;)

Actually I was thinking about starting liveblog threads, I just hadn't gotten around to deciding how to organize it yet.

I think I had an excellent idea!  ;D

Yes indeed! Ooh. Just one more until snoz has palindromic post count bonus!

For that matter, prime number bonuses are much easier to calculate when the prime numbers are this low. :D

Bobo has been pornbotted!

No!  LTE!  :P

Ironically in our quest to get the longest thread ever and to rank up on Big Boards, we may have doomed the 00ze :o

It's all going to be okay in the end. Greetings Kin, by the way.

Howdy 8)

Bobo needs to stop sending me porn!  :P

Bobo needs to stop sending me porn!  :P

I'm not sending you anything, you're playing on XBox apparently.

Hopefully nobody minds if I change the title of this thread. It makes it easier to distinguish it from LTE 1..

But I am not on Xbox...hmmm.

That's very strange. What does Kin think to the title of this thread to distinguish it from LTE1?

I like it 8)

But now it's not the LTE really, it's just aspiring to be an LTE :(

Just so that when we see it on the front page it doesn't just say "Re: Longest thread ever..." and we think it's the same as the first one.

Yes but if we saw that in the Recent changes I might think it was for the first thread, not the second one.

Dastardly mod attack!

but where is LTE 1..  is it hiding?

In the Lead Mods board, so that you non-mods can't see it, but we mods can see it, and it doesn't make the post count for the whole board go down.

Tam said why.
thank you comrade

Not enough muscles.

Today, my boyfriend who likes to get high was driving me insisting he wasn't currently high. A family of deer was standing on the side of the road and he pulled over by them waited until they walked closer to us and said, "what seems to be the problem officers?" He wasn't kidding. FML

Today, while I was walking downtown a homeless person asked me for a dollar. I thought it would be funny to wave the dollar in his face and taunt him. I guess he thought it would be funny to stab me in the leg with a pencil. FML

Today, I found out my boyfriend stacks things on me while I sleep. Apparently his record is 4 pillows, a textbook, and the cat. FML

Ooh. That's good news.

It is also good news that LTE mark 2 is stickied in WotW. 8)

That is indeed pretty epic.

I am around, I think.

Bobo needs to stop sending me porn!  :P


Bobo needs to send ME some porn or is it pr0n?  ;D

Howard would not like it!

Of course I would,pr0n all day and all night.

I was looking for a thread for Tam, then decided it was too late after she asked for it so didn't send her any links anyway

Hi karen.  :)

LTE did in fact turn out to be the longest thread ever here, so it's all good.

Ah, Homer goes to rock and roll camp.

Wish they'd have gotten some dudes on base for those homers :P

More runs Pirates!

Cubs in a couple hours.

Too bad it wasn't the 200000th of the old LTE :P  Silly server.

Bratwurst!

Bratwurst!


nice with red skin mash, carrots, corn, and onion gravy

Just ketchup and mustard on a bun for now, thank you 8)

I do like the part where Pittsburgh is currently making StL its bitch.

Won't last very long though if they keep giving up homers :P

Sadly.
I think STL need to trade a backup relief pitcher to NY for Jeter, Texeira and Arod...That way Pujols might have some support. :D :D :D :D :D

Yeah.  One for doing the deal, and the other to think it's even feasible :D

Yeah.  One for doing the deal, and the other to think it's even feasible :D

You are probably right. OK..STL will also throw in a 10th round pick in 2012..now that's tempting  ::)

Bad news for the Cubs :(

Good news for Cards

Red Sox /Yanks, 0-0 in 9th inning.
Now it's Rivera vs Papelbon.

Red Sox are a one hit wonder so far tonight

She's her and He's him.


yeah.....thanks for clearing that up  ::)

I'm thinking if a baseball game is still 0 - 0 come the ninth inning, then neither team deserves to score.

I think that I'm me.



WRONG... you're you... I'm me

WRONG... you're you... I'm me

No no, I'm me!

I gotta be meeeeee!

There are no ties in baseball. It's a never ending story.

No like Cards!  :D

How about Charlie's Angles bikini poses on cards...umm..playing cards
(No Bosley pics tho)

Where are they letting Okajima pitch the 9th?????

Ortiz batting .222 this year, Varitek .227.

No soup for them

Baseball would be very interesting if there was a bowl of soup to consume on each base.

Who's winning?

Wow, no scoring.  Incredible!

Must walk dog.

Scoring epic fail.

Who's winning?

0-0

Baseball would be very interesting if there was a bowl of soup to consume on each base.

would be messy if someone hit a line drive and it made contact with the soup bowl.

How about trap doors on the infield?

Or like, Subbuteo-style astro-turf instead of grass in the outfield, and instead of grass there is just a big hole. :D

They could plummet into danger.

Too many injuries. No one left to play.

They could plummet into danger.


How about the odd javelin falling on the field? You like this stuff huh?

I hate getting injured while playing sport, but watching other people get injured is fun. :D

No win yet?

Yankees have runners on 2nd and 3rd in the 9th, 2 outs (after a balk, of all things!!!) . Posada batting

..now we're going to the 10th.
Posada K.

Balk is one of those things that seems really difficult to call.

Balk is one of those things that seems really difficult to call.

I could just imagine...
Game 7 of WS, bottom of 9th, bases loaded. Pitcher suffers first epileptic seizure of his life, balks in winning run.

Ooooh, potential rally.

Stupid bunt and double play = no rally >:(

Ooooh, potential rally.

the way the Sox have played, a guy on 1st is a potential rally. At least the top of the order is coming up, guys who are hitting more than .250

Stupid bunt and double play = no rally >:(

Red Sox have a whopping 3 hits in 10 innings.

Gotta go eat dinner ..
