so what should I do? Skip Pink Floyd's echoes and go to Hotel California?
 
Is it just me or has PF been rather sluggish since yesterday? Sometime, I get a time-out error after I hit a link to a forum or a post. Even when I don't get that, it can take some time to get to that link.

It just appears to be slower than usual.

Sure! :wink:

I couldn't help but notice the coincidence with ST's ascension to Mentorhood. :rolleyes:

Give the guy a title and a little more responsibility, and he starts mucking around with things. :biggrin:

Watch him Greg. :smile:

Well, at least he didn't shoot himself in the head 12 times.

An Oregon man who went to a hospital complaining of a headache was found to have 12 nails embedded in his skull from a suicide attempt with a nail gun, doctors say.

Well this guy did it deliberately, but I know there was an industrial accident where some guy fell while holding a nail gun, and shot himself in the head.

I believe no one could post during that period. I couldn't post any, even PM, between 6:30 pm till 8:30 pm Central when I was online, and then I gave up.

Yeah, I couldn't do much of anything here last night. It was pretty late by the time I realized there was a problem, so it lasted well beyond when you gave up.

But, really, Greg is just concerned for the health of all the members here. He knows how addicted you are, and that the only way to get you all to move from that chair and get some exercise is to shut down PF for a few hours a day. And, no, hitting the refresh button repeatedly is not exercise. :biggrin:
 
My LateX seem to get screwed up, edits are not replaced, text appearing from nowhere etc.etc.

Aaawwww, excuse me, but is that the site is getting slower and slower? Sometimes, it just takes ages to get a page loaded... :frown:, and hopefully, it will eventually load, but after about 10 times of getting the message saying that The page cannot be displayed, or timed out... :cry: :cry:
Is that bacause of too many bots that we have? :rolleyes:
Does anyone here experience the same thing?
