Seriously, until we know what's up with it, we can't do much. Although the site seems more stable over the last 24 hours, I'm impressed. Mind you, the 'we' is TP and Eamonn and possie, as I don't have access to my emails right now as I'm working in the field (bit damp and cold and a bit rockie), so infact, I've no idea what's happening really :lol:

Who knows mate, we don't know what they do with their websites/forums.

But essentially you're starting to hit on one of the reasons why I don't believe it's a bandwidth issue killing the site.

You'll be happy to know that I'm not really lamb chops anymore!

I'm growing a full (read patchy) beard!

:lol:

I need to move out of the backs and in with the piggies I think. Maybe I should play flanker!!

It's ok son.

dickieducati 16-Feb-2006 10:54

think you need to split it again :puzzled:

i'll accept the baiting bit but surely tp's the only camp one.;)

Mark 16-Feb-2006 10:55

Well, by the sounds of it, TP is turning into a tramp, let alone camp!

dickieducati 16-Feb-2006 10:55

sorry i stand corrected ....and you flanks

TP 16-Feb-2006 10:59

Flanks, you can go play with yourself tiger!

The openside does the most work in any game I reckon, he can keep that job!

And my beard isn't red! I can't even see any grey in it yet, but it's not that long, I only stopped shaving at the end of last week.

Mark 16-Feb-2006 11:00

Cheers sweetie, you're all heart.

It probably will be that patchy too!

I am trying for full coverage though, I've started a beard growing competition at work and roped in the three hottest women in the office to sit on the judging panel. A masterstroke in morale building!

I'm a genius!

Mark 16-Feb-2006 11:08

You feck Ant, my sides hurt!

TP 16-Feb-2006 11:08

But you've just inspired me to grow my hair too!

I can't argue with that, although tramp is more suited.

Please don't go giving him ideas and exciting me even further, and then proving to be empty promises.

Look, you just can't come into a thread and hijack it. You've read far too many of Tony's posts. I think you need to go home straight away and get the bike, and ride it.

Are we being random enough today? Yes/No?

AK 16-Feb-2006 11:33

and why not Flanks - you wander into enough other threads, and mostly at a late stage, I might add!:P

Look, it's my style, go get you're own, and leave me alone. Sheesh :lol:

Anyway, do we think TP will look like a tramp? Yes/No?

I say Yes.

Cheers mate, I'm particularly proud of that bit myself.

We'll be having a few 'meetings' to establish the judging criteria and whether 'innapropriate touching' will be allowed!

Smart move TP...I'll back you!!!

£20 say's that TP can grow a better beard than the three hottest women in the office......wait a minute....make that a fiver!

Tonio600 16-Feb-2006 13:04

If bandwith is an issue (I don't know......), what about only allowing avatar/banners/etc hosted on other servers... I think that's not really the job of the message board to host everyone's avatars...

And maybe people who understand what I mean can help people who don't... Us geeks have all webspaces everywhere... :lol:

dickieducati 16-Feb-2006 13:12

antoine, whats that got to do with the thread title....campness :puzzled:

oh i forgot, you are french:eureka:

antonye 16-Feb-2006 13:26

As far as I know in our conversations looking into this, the webteam have already looked at how much the image hosting contributes to the bandwidth used by the board.

From memory it was a very small amount - around 15% - and so removing this option would not have a *big* impact on the bandwidth.

This is why investigations are ongoing to cover all possible causes.
