Marathon Messageboard Thread is it defunct??

I can't get to the Chocolate Planet anymore - is there a problem somewhere? It's time the inhabitants of that thread to squeak up! What the error message reads as----------------

Sorry if I'm inconveniencing anyone-really.

It's still there, but this new site is so damned slow it's impossible to open it

Yeah I noticed the combo of being on dial-up and how fast the site times out makes for some rough browsing.

....sometimes

What if you were the SQL database? What if you had to boot every morning thinking of the 12,000 posts you have to output for one thread? Think about the servers guys, think about the servers.

If i am not wrong, a server is in business to make money..So if it is to hot in the kitchen the leave.

Think about the servers guys, think about the servers.

I'm thinking about the servers at Hooters right now

How's that

Even though I don't post there (out of respect) ...the Chocolate Planet thread is tradition.

It's been running for years. It'd be a shame if it was lost forever, imho.

I tried to bring up the Marathon thread. Thie site timed out. As much as people say this new WC is faster I sure don't think so. And it's getting worse. Last night at 3 AM I coun't even connect to these forums without timing out. And I am on a 3 megabit connection.

kona0197 misses the old site

Speed seems to be hit or miss. Just like right now at 8:30PM EST, the forums all of a sudden just got really really fast. Like "Wow that's fast" fast.

*sigh* the chocolate planet is all the way on the sixth page now. I haven't been able to open it in a long, long time. Maybe we can start the chocolate annex here. I always thought OC should have a thread of his own.

goodmorphing hasn't been around much due to serious out-of-shapeness and learning to walk all over again (at least enough to beat old ladies across the street again).

I also miss these fellows. They were my buddies and i feel a twang of sadness when I reach for one and find him banished. Sorry... I'm just the loyal kind of girl.

I've not been able to open it for weeks. Even then, maybe only a few times this year. That thread is so full of happy times. I miss it so much

awwwwwwwwww fuzzy, we'll just have to make new happy times again in here until we can go back home. Anyway, it's OC's thread so it's bound to have magic in it.

Someone will have to round up feline and OC again.

... that feline has a knack of filling out a thread.

Here's a idea, a server just for the thread
