yeah it is, sometimes there are so many threads and then some just slip away unnoticed, so thats why people go through the archive and "bump" them to the front page and hope to help them . . . .

7234 2004-11-01 05:50:00 Beetle, with no knowledge of how databases or webservers work I don't think you should be commenting. The server is probably getting quite a workout regurgitating this old thread.

If it takes 3 mins for me just to get the opportunity to reply, then I'm not going to bother even if I have the perfect answer.

Why am I even debating the issue of bumping old threads? It's a no-brainer.

> its here for a reason, are you?

Yeah I drop by to help out and for some entertainment, not to post dribble through my keyboard and make the forum slower.

Nice work,tell someone else they don't know what they are talking about then use the word "probally" to justify your own view.

Once the thread is on the frontpage they open just as quick as any other,Its hardly Beetles fault if your connection sucks.

7240 2004-11-01 07:15:00 I think this brainiac is going to prove his "knowledge" of databases by bouncing a heap of old threads to the front page.

Logic from stupidsville......

Lmao. No that's a bad way to do it but it would still prove my point. PF1 would slow to a crawl.

The better way to do it is to request threads 1 - 100 simultaneously or sequentially and it will slow right down. Almost similiar to DOS attack.

Might do it another night, I'm watching K-pax atm.
