More than anything, I am praying to God, Skinner, Elad, that DU does not crash on Election Night

[graywarrior]

Oh and Earlg too. Right now it is taking almost a minute to download a thread or post something. Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeze work on Nov 4. Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeze?


This is so sloooooow, I just want to scream!

[POAS]

1. From Your lips to Skinners ears!

I may take my laptop to our party just to keep up with DU!

[rubberducky]

2. It makes me sick to my stomach to think about that.

[elocs]

3. It needs to do better than during the last debate.

Something, if possible, should be done to limit the multitude of chat threads that consist of one post that say little of value except to the poster, but they must gobble up bandwidth and overload already stressed servers.

4. No Problem...The Mods are going to give the little fella a LOT of Drugs.

[begin_within]

5. Maybe it should go text-only that night, like craigslist.

[blueknight]

6. it will

it always does with heavy traffic,it seems

[begin_within]

10. Yes, they turn signatures off at times. But I meant turn off all images completely

even the ads. They can afford to go one night ad-free can't they?

[Number23]

23. Good idea. People here talk alot of smack about Free Republic's format

(and with good reason, come to think of it) but it doesn't crash one TENTH as much as DU does.

Every single day DU crashes for me. Goes down anywhere from 2 minutes to an hour. Every single day. It's the worse form of torture.

7. I think they should limit the # of threads a poster can start to 1 an hour. And, only members can ..

view the forums that night, so we don't have freepers snooping our boards and increasing the already high traffic.

8. It was fine in

Nov 2004 expcept for the bad news.

Got a few more peeps now, don't we?

[graywarrior]

9. Tons more

And I don't think I can keep my head on straight if I can't come here.

Plus, who better to celebrate the victory that night?

[Cha]

21. That's right..we need to be

here together:grouphug: :)

[QueenOfCalifornia]

11. Wheeeee!

I'll be watching MSNBC and getting all drunk on election night.... :)

[Frank Booth]

12. More than world peace?

[graywarrior]

13. If DU crashes Nov 4, there will be no world peace.

[Mojambo]

14. I'd bet my house (if I had one) that it will go down at some point.

There's just no way anyone can prepare for it.

[knowledgeispwr]

15. There should be DU IRC chats going like crazy

Especially when people want to chit-chat or post a single idea. It's real time and could relieve some pressure on the servers.

[Doremus]

18. If you get a sec, could you post more about this?

I'd really like to have a backup plan ready 'cause I honestly don't know WHAT I'll do if DU crashes that night.

It makes me cringe just thinking about it. :(

[Doremus]

16. We have been waiting 8 long years for this night. PLEASE DON'T SCREW IT UP

PLEASE

17. Don't worry, part of Plan X is to make sure DU stays up

Nov. 4.

[Skidmore]

19. God!?! You're pointed in the wrong direction.

Address your prayers to Skinner, Elad, and Earlg--DU's triune godhead.

[graywarrior]

20. I changed it.

Damn, is anyone else having problems with DU tongith?

[stillcool]

22. yeah me too...

on both counts. Slow tonight, and I really hope election night doesn't break DU. I can't do tv straight anymore..got to chase it with DU!

[Top Cat]

24. Thanks
