PCF server discussion
Re: PCF server discussion
i'm not complaining myself, but i'm know there are some members who browse pcf even after their caps are depleted. somehow i don't see them wasting bandwidth spamming when they could be using it for more beneficial purposes.

Re: PCF server discussion
Just done a bit of an Apollo 13 on the forum - turned the online user listing back on, and turned RSS feeds off. Seems faster at the moment, but will be keeping two eyes on things (as often as I can spare them).

Re: PCF server discussion
I have - but he just ignores me. I even suggested he delete me and all my posts - and then I can start again. But he won't hear of it.

Re: PCF server discussion
it managed last time, and if tribble has her infamous (or infamouse) weekend away this weekend, we just might get away with it.
