Tell me your lag time.

When you post or do something in here, how long is your lag time? I am going to get a watch or something and time mine. Seems that it is at almost a minute. My browser even timed it out.

 

Sometimes 15-20 seconds, other times I could use an hourglass...

 

I think they're still fighting some server issues. Today from work half the time pages wouldn't load at all, clicked stop & reload & the page would pop up immediately. Tonight it seems to be behaving.

 

Right now it is to fast to count, but earlier it was in the 10 - 20s. It doest bother me though.

Well, at first I thought it was my server, but some site load fine. Maybe it's just the heat. To think, I have high speed....Wonder if I can get a discount for this?

 

SMT... I miss the word association thread....


(hint hint)

 

When the last one was officially deleted by the moderators, you should probably take that as a hint. The gods have spoken.

 

Nothing was wrong with that thread though...

*sigh*

fine, okay.

 

You should have done like I said in that PM. We would have been fine, and now the word is out. We were almost there man! Just think, now that there is nothing going on, we can all sit and stare at our screen and wonder what it would have been like if we had the word association back. We could have been busy.

Maybe that is why there is so few people coming in anymore. Nothing moving.

 

But that would have been wrong SMT.

You had an evil plan muwaha. And you expected me to do it? HAHAHA.

You wanted to see my downfall

 

Why is it people use the term evil when they talk about me?


Well, I will tell you, today I had a small paper bag, a string and a rock, but I did not go looking for a cat. So there, I am not evil.

 

Lag time? A few seconds if the board behaves, if not - I have press refresh for it to load, then it's usually no probs.

Re: Word Assn......Don't even go there. If you had your inbox cluttered up for the last two years like we had, you'd get my drift. Posting for the sake of posting serves little or no purpose, i.m.o. If others want to do it, that's up to them. Personally, I have more important things to do in life.

The lounge went quiet lately, mainly because there were a few stirrers, now gone, creating unnecessary tension.

 

@ CaNo You ever wonder that this means (smt aims)___@@(CaNo) if so, you would have to PM Lugz or I in order to find out.

 

Eh?

Never did it once fill my inbox. Were you subscribed to the thread or something?

 

Re: Eh?

Yeah, I must have posted a couple of times there myself and not unsubscribed (Doh!).

I think Kodo just wanted to eliminate unnecessary server clutter, plus it was kinda irritating for the same thread to be on the front page for eternity.

If you want to start another, feel free, but don't blame me for any flak received.

 

Re: Eh?

Or just give me 24 hours and i might think of a new game of some sort. As you know, I usually can come up with something interesting.
It will not involve a cat, string, paper bag or a rock. I am not EVIL!!!

(smt aims)___***(Lugz)

 

Well it seems that everyone is in here so.....good night all....its 2:07am and i am tired....see you all tomorrw!

SMT,
To tie together your two themes, lag time ,and word association, in UK
"Lag Time " is an expression used for time served in prison, hence the term "old lag".
Thankfully, in UK parlance , my lag time is zero!

 

What is occuring with me is what GT describes...(it's intermittent though - can't get a finger on the conditions, though)... it even occurred whn replying to this thread....(using IE6.0sp1 - have to here at work)

One observation I've noticed is the time it puts up the Winguides ad at the very top of the page will get real slow and appears to get stuck as if one of the links embedded (or whatever the actual term is) is processing real slow to "push"/download the ad to one's computer in order to be displayed. When I stop & refresh, somethings gets cleared out and the whole page is there. Sometimes I wonder by navigating using the Backspace or Alt+arrow keys to quickly something gets snagged and the stop & refresh clears it up.

Hope any of this is fruitful in tracking things down.

 

Ditto. Except on the good ones, if I blink I miss it. Literally.

Edit: For instance, that last one took maybe 1 second. To get to the edit window took maybe 2.

 

for one mr. kodo don't like it............and when ever they move to a new server it's easy'er to just get rid of it.........and kodo don't like it..........but he does post in it............and I've seen them in other foums...........so now that we're on a new server, why not break it in with a new....."word"..........wobbles

 

I will have to go to dial up at this rate. I think it might be faster now. Maybe I should contact my cable provider. This really is getting on my nerves.

 

I haven't tried anyplace else yet. Umm, for some reason when I get here, I don't seem to leave unless I am going to bed.

 

I don't know the official reason but I can offer some guesses...

-Having that many words in a single thread would cause a huge delay in the database for searches... and cause a lot of misdirection in that search.

-Having a thread that huge would cause some lag as the server processed the thread for display.

-There's no reason to have something that huge choking up the database as there's usually one hundred or more people on the site stressing it out as it is.

 

The word association thread :\

 

GO TO BED!!!!!
