I noticed the 'NN has been really quick to load lately! What's up? I'm not complaining of course, it's really nice

I can make posts so fast!

turtle777 · Sep 7, 2007, 12:02 AM

I dunno. I clicked on your thread, and after 15 sec it still wasn't loaded.
Had to click again.

Murphy's law ?

Ha ha, probably. It's still doing great for me. Loading doesn't feel any faster for other sites, so I assume MacNN did something. Maybe the hamster had a good dinner?

Dude. It's not funny any more. Trust me.

imitchellg5 · Sep 8, 2007, 09:41 AM

I am just wondering what they did to make it faster (if anything). It's been so nice.

Has the hamster been tested for HGH

The only thing less funny is besson3c's poop jokes.

besson3c doesn't even need to make an appearance in a thread for you to slam him! Nice....

At least you got his name right this time.

I am just following his lead. And I am not slamming him, I seriously think the only thing lamer on here than the hamster references are his lame jokes about fecal matter.

Unfortunately he used the wrong name in reference to me. It's too bad he can't show me the same respect I extend to him by using his correct username eh Dork.? This kind of action has been considered "baiting" in the past and has resulted in banning of users. Besson3c claims to want to "play nice" but his actions scream something else entirely.

At least we know that it's not just MacNN who's feeling snappy today....

Railroader · Sep 8, 2007, 05:01 PM

And we certainly know who is "baiting" too, Dork..

Tell me Dork., why is it you are coming to besson3c's defense? Don't you think his actions were wrong to attempt to bait me? Do you have any comments on that?

besson3c · Sep 8, 2007, 05:28 PM

Dork., yeah man! Figure it out...

You are supposed to put up with Railroader's regular abuse and instigating fights in a dickish way without any form of defense! He expects complete restraint while he uses you as a little punching bag, and even when asked to stop (by way of ignoring me), he refuses to do just that. Instead of avoiding these sort of confrontations like an adult, he actually seeks them out relentlessly. Then, when you react the way he is trying to get you to react by way of his various trolling/baiting techniques, he lays into you and tries to claim that this problem is all your fault and he is innocent of any wrong doing... Rinse, lather, repeat.

Railroader, grow up. I think you suck. You think I suck. Just ****ing ignore me and be done with it, okay? At the very least, lay off of Dork. He doesn't deserve your bullshit.

This should come to a head by Christmas.

I'm really sorry you have to put up with this. It's extremely difficult to carry the brunt of the ignoring with no accommodations from the other side. Dragging Dork. into this and adding him to his list of people to attack was just the straw that broke the camel's back for me.

And how is it you are ignoring me? Do you do it by referring to me in multiple posts?

And... please refer to me with the correct username. Calling me by my former username is considered baiting.

I don't mind. My daughter's almost three, I know how to deal with this behavior!

What a witty way of calling me childish.

All I did was point out that besson3c is a topic of conversation for you even if he hasn't appeared in a thread yet. You did the rest.

Full Disclosure: I have bought shares in besson3c's Stool trading business, so anytime he talks about poop we both make money. So there!

My company is also available on the Nasdaq listed as "POOP"... A great addition to your stock Dashboard widget!

Why did you point out to bessonc3 that I am a topic of interest to him even if I haven't appeared in the thread? And yes, that is a rhetorical question. I know the answer.

Railroader · Sep 8, 2007, 06:24 PM

Looks like this thread has went down the toilet. Perhaps we should blame the hamster? Turtle?

imitchellg5 · Sep 8, 2007, 06:36 PM

Please don't kill my thread before I get a real answer. Thanks.

Demonhood · Sep 8, 2007, 06:38 PM

this banter bores me.
i'd like a refund.

mitchell, i believe Monish had made a series of optimizations in the past few weeks. this may account for any improvement in speed lately.
