forum access and posting is REALLY slow...

I can't see how the games forum eats up a lot of bandwidth.

Look at the post counts of the top 5 threads in that forum that have been posted to in the past 24 hours. Total them up.

MOF has taken on a life of it's own, and it does use a lot of bandwidth, but it's a good thread as far as providing enjoyable conversation and interaction for the SB community. Surface Interval's bandwidth I think is well used, unlike the aforementioned Games forum.

3 or 4 times today, SB has timed out, refused to move, blah blah blah...

This is just sad. The once mighty SB now suffering from AOL-ism of a few years ago. Rolling brown outs, very unreliable, slow, ACK.

Its too frustrating to hang out. I'll snipe in later (maybe after 2:00 AM) - by then they would have had time to change the hampsters that keep this place limping along.

OY.

In other words, the Humor, Games, Clips, Yarns & Tales posts are keeping those of us who actually want to talk about diving from doing so? I don't mind other folks wasting time... until it wastes mine. Not that my opinion means squat, but wouldn't it make sense to increase available bandwidth by eliminating "noise"? I mean, it's scubaboard, not stupidgameboard.

Actually I was saying the opposite. Dandy Don implied that those forums were harming the board, my response was that they were not. Every post has some impact but those areas are not single handily causing anything to break.

Because that is not the issue I don't see a whole lot of reason to have this debate and as such I'm closing the thread.
