I think it's a GREAT idea and I'm really smart

Andrew Thames (Andrew Thames), Wednesday, 7 May 2003 12:27 (twenty-one years ago) link

fair enough.

So what caused the server to run out of virtual memory, blah, blah, for about an hour there?

Alan (Alan), Wednesday, 7 May 2003 12:33 (twenty-one years ago) link

How much physical memory does the machine already have, does it have any slots free and what type of memory does it take?

Sean Carruthers (SeanC), Wednesday, 7 May 2003 13:48 (twenty-one years ago) link

seems to have 256M physical memory,of which usually only 2 to 5 is free.
Only 14M of a 256M swap file is being used. hard disk space is no problem. Andrew is the one that knows the ins and outs of the actual hardware though.

Alan (Alan), Wednesday, 7 May 2003 14:05 (twenty-one years ago) link

I'd be willing to donate some RAM if it'll help and if I have the appropriate type. BOX OWNAZ REPRAZENT

Sean Carruthers (SeanC), Wednesday, 7 May 2003 15:19 (twenty-one years ago) link

Man, I'd be willing to do anything to get the hamsters on the treadmill running a little faster around here.

Is there a PayPal fund that could be set up or something?

Mr. Diamond (diamond), Wednesday, 7 May 2003 17:21 (twenty-one years ago) link

Help! I just accidentally killed my 12-step anonymity on the "quitting heroin, how" thread: I used an anonymous name and email (as below) but forgot to log out, so my real log-in name is there grinning at everyone. Could you kill the log-in name and keep the post? Or if that's not possible, kill it all. And you'll definitely need to kill the post that I followed it up with, where I go "Damn, I just killed my anonymity." In any event, anonymity here is required, not so much for my protection but to protect the 12-step group from people like me being perceived as spokesmen for it in the public eye.

(I emailed Jess and Tracer, but if someone else sees this first, please take care of it.)

Lots of thanks.

Atheist, Wednesday, 7 May 2003 23:46 (twenty-one years ago) link

Which post? I can't find one.

Mr Noodles (Mr Noodles), Wednesday, 7 May 2003 23:48 (twenty-one years ago) link

Someone just took care of it. Many thanks. (Though I was expecting to enjoy my brief notoriety.)

Atheist, Wednesday, 7 May 2003 23:51 (twenty-one years ago) link

Can I draw attention to the "I Hate America" board? It looks like its been set up by Sean M Hall, the serious megatroll that hounds AAD from time to time. He had apparently been unable to get on ilX for a while (he claims his IP was banned) but has found a new account and is back with us again.

Can we blast him quick this time?

Lynskey (Lynskey), Thursday, 8 May 2003 17:54 (twenty-one years ago) link

Hey there
I seem to be unable to moderate in a recent version of IE. Just hangs as per Sean's description above.

In other news, I'd help you if I could Lynskey.

Mr Noodles (Mr Noodles), Thursday, 8 May 2003 18:05 (twenty-one years ago) link

Correction, was just a very slow response.

Mr Noodles (Mr Noodles), Thursday, 8 May 2003 18:06 (twenty-one years ago) link

(I was the one who fixed the forgot-to-logout problem on the heroin thread.)

Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Thursday, 8 May 2003 18:30 (twenty-one years ago) link

Can someone add a not-safe-for-work note on the Sarah Silverman thread?

amateurist (amateurist), Thursday, 8 May 2003 20:29 (twenty-one years ago) link

more Sean M. Hall shenanigans, as noted above. destroy please

James Blount (James Blount), Thursday, 8 May 2003 21:17 (twenty-one years ago) link

Please, remeber if you link a thread/post here, we can destroy them quicker folks. To link a post you may have to click on show all details at the bottom left of the page.

Lynskey (Lynskey), Friday, 9 May 2003 00:45 (twenty-one years ago) link

I'm not clear what your problem is with this, Lynskey? It may be the same person you mention, but I'm not sure we should be taking action on that basis - is there anything intolerable on the board yet?

Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Friday, 9 May 2003 11:18 (twenty-one years ago) link

I'd love to help you Lynskey but the usual gang here doesn't hold sway over that board. Gotta go right to the top on this one.

Mr Noodles (Mr Noodles), Friday, 9 May 2003 12:18 (twenty-one years ago) link

do we want to delete that board then? i've sort of banned SMH's new login

Alan (Alan), Friday, 9 May 2003 14:26 (twenty-one years ago) link

i mean, i don't see anything wrong with the messages there. though i don't know what a board with that name might attract

Alan (Alan), Friday, 9 May 2003 14:28 (twenty-one years ago) link

Only seen faux Ally postings myself.

Mr Noodles (Mr Noodles), Friday, 9 May 2003 14:29 (twenty-one years ago) link

I think posing as another poster is a trigger for whatever big gun you want to pull out, Alang. To mix two different firearm metaphors.

Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Friday, 9 May 2003 15:13 (twenty-one years ago) link

agreed, particularly considering the histories involved here (mr. hall and various ally stalkers)

James Blount (James Blount), Friday, 9 May 2003 15:17 (twenty-one years ago) link

Wait a second, where is someone posting as me?

Ally (mlescaut), Friday, 9 May 2003 15:18 (twenty-one years ago) link

on the 'me no likey ammurrica' board

James Blount (James Blount), Friday, 9 May 2003 15:20 (twenty-one years ago) link

That's really fucking it.

Ally (mlescaut), Friday, 9 May 2003 15:22 (twenty-one years ago) link

Ally, is garancey80@yahoo.com one of your e-mail addresses?

Alan (Alan), Friday, 9 May 2003 15:42 (twenty-one years ago) link

it is similar to one of her old ones

James Blount (James Blount), Friday, 9 May 2003 15:43 (twenty-one years ago) link

why was that board started in the first place?

hstencil, Friday, 9 May 2003 15:45 (twenty-one years ago) link

it was a sean m. hall ' fear me geekery' board

James Blount (James Blount), Friday, 9 May 2003 15:50 (twenty-one years ago) link

hence calls for deletion of said board

James Blount (James Blount), Friday, 9 May 2003 15:51 (twenty-one years ago) link

I no longer use that email address.

Ally (mlescaut), Friday, 9 May 2003 15:56 (twenty-one years ago) link

Could one of you beautiful powerful people lock/delet this thread: I have found the website of the most retarded man on earth ?
I really shouldn't go airing out my baseless private prejudices and i'm ashamed of it. Thanks!

Dan I. (Dan I.), Saturday, 10 May 2003 18:30 (twenty-one years ago) link

This is surely no worse than a minor embarrassment for you, Dan. I don't see it as any candidate for deletion or locking.

Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Saturday, 10 May 2003 18:42 (twenty-one years ago) link

Drat!

Dan I. (Dan I.), Saturday, 10 May 2003 18:54 (twenty-one years ago) link

Indeed, I am about to increase the font size and bold the text of the thread so people can properly revel in it.

(I may be kidding.)

Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Saturday, 10 May 2003 18:54 (twenty-one years ago) link

(haha, my plan is working! I knew it would!)

Dan I. (Dan I.), Saturday, 10 May 2003 18:59 (twenty-one years ago) link

When Dans Clash!

Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Saturday, 10 May 2003 19:00 (twenty-one years ago) link

Can one of you please delete my half=arsed attempts at linking here

And obv. the sweary response straight after.

ailsa (ailsa), Sunday, 11 May 2003 10:41 (twenty-one years ago) link

Done!

Andrew Thames (Andrew Thames), Sunday, 11 May 2003 11:25 (twenty-one years ago) link

The All New Laugh Out Loud thread eats my modem up. Could someone lock the old thread and open a new one? (I would do the opening part myself but I can't think of a snappy title right now.)

Frühlingsmute (Wintermute), Monday, 12 May 2003 11:19 (twenty-one years ago) link

Old thread isn't locked, but Stevem's opened a new one.

Andrew Thames (Andrew Thames), Monday, 12 May 2003 12:06 (twenty-one years ago) link

All right, I just noticed the first LOL thread wasn't locked either, so thanks.

Frühlingsmute (Wintermute), Monday, 12 May 2003 12:15 (twenty-one years ago) link

I think all 'old' threads like this should be locked, with a 'this thread continues here' link facility.

I'm pretty sure someone's already mentioned this...

Matt DC (Matt DC), Monday, 12 May 2003 12:26 (twenty-one years ago) link

Great idea, I can't remember how to link tho

Andrew Thames (Andrew Thames), Monday, 12 May 2003 12:35 (twenty-one years ago) link

um just paste the url into the message, it converts it to blue writing with the name of the thread

Alan (Alan), Monday, 12 May 2003 12:38 (twenty-one years ago) link

Fuckin A? Wow!

Andrew Thames (Andrew Thames), Monday, 12 May 2003 12:47 (twenty-one years ago) link

Fuckin A! Ok, linked and locked. Hope this is ok.

Andrew Thames (Andrew Thames), Monday, 12 May 2003 13:08 (twenty-one years ago) link

Could someone change http to ihttp on my contribution to

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ALLY!!!!!

Cheers
