Big Monitors... Big...
« on: March 17, 2009, 09:21:59 AM »
Unless you're like me and have a hard time replaying shit unless you wait a good year or two to do it. Depends what it is a little bit though, shooters have easy replayability. I'm still blastin' shit full of holes the second time through.

I got a new 21.5 inch monitor. Woo! Nice replacement for my 11 year old HP Pavilion monitor. -Shut the fuck up, Mo. I don't care. =P

Hahah you know what they say about people with big monitors!

Not to continue this digression, but Mo, do you draw this conclusion from personal experience?

Nobody needs that except movie pirates and porn addicts.

Not me! That was the basis by which I made my previous comment and the one prior to it! As 24 is quite larger than 21.5.

Edit: Did I mention... late night, every fricken night... LM never loads because Mo is downloading shit...

See a connection?

Strangely enough, Mr. "Global Moderator" I don't see any connection between the last half-dozen posts and the topic of this thread.

Quiet! I wait to split the topic till the side-topic dies down, otherwise they both die from splitting it too soon and that's boring!

Is that true?  hehe well I am downloading things at those times, but it shouldn't really slow the site down.

Actually it is true. Almost every night and the page doesn't load at all typically throughout the entire night. lol. I try several times out of habit.

I actually can't get it to load at all usually. Most of the time if I wait it just leads me to a connection error page, or I just wait about 15 seconds and then continue on my merry way. Just to note though, last couple of nights were problem free. So last night, and the night before. Can't even remember the night before that. lol. There was also one day too, where I came on at about 10 in the morning, and it wouldn't load at all, so I came back on after I got home and it was fine. That was probably either monday or wednesday.

I suppose there could be more to it than I thought, I always just blamed it on you, hence the reason I didn't mention it sooner. You made an earlier post some time saying you were doing a lot of torrenting lately and I know how that goes. Best time to do big downloads like games or movies is while you're sleeping, so I just figured that's what it was. Nobody else is usually on that late but me anyways. I could care less, I just check every forum I frequent often throughout the time I'm on the computer, and I typically always check right when I get on and right before I get off. Either way, I pretty much check every day multiple times a day, so if a few times it doesn't work later in the day, oh well. =D

Also, you said you "downloading things at those times, but it shouldn't really slow the site down." Well, if you mean through torrents, unless you've changed your settings to not upload at all, you are most likely downloading and uploading at the same time.
It's always good to give a little back, right?

Yes but I limit the upload to 40K max so that leaves plenty for the site.  Some times when I wake up in the morning I notice my connection is dead.  So that would explain why you couldn't connect at those times.  Rebooting my router fixes that.  It's rare that it happens though.

It's strange indeed, then. I think it was last week that it was like that almost every night though.
