This site the past few weeks has gotten increasingly laggy.

You should be thankful you're even still allowed around here, honestly.

Just ignore him. I do. In fact, I don't even know what he said. I only know what you just wrote to him (this quote of yours above) and that whatever he said he probably deserved it.

One last thing..

All of these closed threads because people can't/ won't adhere to the thread posting rules.

These non-cmpliant threads should be not only closed, but deleted.

I've mentioned this many, many times.

The humorous thing about that is that some of the previously mentioned demographic have learned from experience that they can post a thread and not adhere to the rules as a matter of strategy and know fully well that it will only be closed rather than deleted.

That's why the weasels do it so routinely.

Which effectively just amounts to yet another ''Shut up! Listen!'' type of thread since the many closed threads remain but simply cannot be responded to.

Usually some dumb ten second tiktok video or something like that to serve as some kind of billboard. Spam basically, which is permitted to remain, even though dialogue is not possible once closed.

That's he mindset you're dealing with with those tyes of people.

It's a laughable, pathetic strategy, mainly because it is a strategy, and that just goes to show how the topical content has eroded over time, as well as by what mechanism, but that's a lot of wasted server room, too.

Personal attacks rules are desperately needed.

So please spare us your arbitrary claims of victimhood.

You're one of the primary low-value wrecking balls that deter from any expectation of what could be considered lively, stimulating, relevant dialogue/debate on the board.

Thank you for the personal attack in zone 1.

Personal attacks rules and desperately needed m

You do have an organized demograph here who likes to call anyone who might disagree with some political policy a terrorist or a terrorist supporter, for example. And they are a nasty, antagonistic, committed bunch, for sure. That gambit is most often invoked for the purpose of stimulating others of like mindsets and intent to gang up on people in the same, juvenile, antagonistic way whom they know will not stoop to their vitriolic level in return nor carry on with dialogue in that solicited way, observably. It's cowardice, really. People like that are not viable and valuabe in any setting where there is an expectation of civil, relevant and meanigful dialogue.

This Mickey Mousery is intended to deter from any civil, meaningful dialogue. And that's usually what happens.

These are very low value posters because that's primarily their intent here.

I had responded to one of the more primary, habitual purveyors of that gambit earlier in the thread when I had mentioned directly to that particular purveyor that the user should be thankful he's still allowed around here.

Bad element, those types. Intelligent, relevant, meaningful, civil dialogue is not possible when this gambit dominates.

Just juvenile, low value smut, really, that only serves to degrade the board further.

And, really, that's the intent with those types, observably.

And then there is the cry victimhood when you call em out on it. It's laughable...

Thank you for the personal attack in zone 1.

The truth stings, don't it?

You may take your entire deck of arbitrary victim status cards and shove it up your rear end, ya fraud.

And enjoy the rest of your afternoon...

I don't have such a huge problem with "adhering to the thread posting rules" BUT I seldom start a thread because I never know what forum to put it in. It's too complicated for me.

No, I was talking about the ones who routinely play the system and do it on purpose. It's most often the same usership.

They know what they're doing. At least in my view anyway.

One might logically conclude that if one's threads keep gettting closed for the same reason that one would change one's practices.

That one does not choose to change one's practices is indicative of the gambit being run there.

It's silliness, really, but I guess to those specific users who routinely run that gambit, it's considered some sort of ''activism.'' Heh heh...

 

[Natural Citizen]

Oh, one more thing, since it keeps happening here at the moment.

I keep getting a popup whenever I go to post or edit..and I edit quite a bit whenever I have an afterthought...telling me that ''You must be logged in to to that.''

But I close that login box that pops up on my screen out and refresh the page and I'm still logged in.

It's weird.

That may be a browser issue. Not sure. I'm using the Brave browser on a Macbook Pro.

Yes, I know.

The garbage cleanup functions are stalling at server side with the resultant outcome being.... an overloaded heap, an inappropriate Garbage Collection algorithm, or insufficient GC thread.

And on browser side, we get a simple function halt.

 

[Ropey]

What kinda available memory is there?

imho

The issue is not a lack of memory. It's a fail of the collection function and the troubleshooting should focus on the code or logic that uses the collection.

Sure is a big waste of bandwidth that doesn't help.

Meh. He (and his) doesn't try to run that gambit on me anymore. I'm confident that by way of experience, he (and his) knows how that's going to end by now.

Ever hear the one about the hunter and the bear?

Like that...

But, no, I was referencing the organized nature of the gambit itself when I had mentioned about it in response to Delldude's thought there in post # 145.

Trouble-shooting is hella tough unless one brings in a debugging specialist.

We debuggers have a different mindset for determining failing traces amid non-linear breakpoint analysis.

Well, you're way above my pay grade..

 

[Crepitus]

That and bandwidth. Lots of large sig pics, loading entire articles, probably tons of old posts.

Animated sigs and avatars...?
