  • Maintenance - 12/13/2019

    If the site has seemed sluggish, it's because I am doing some maintenance behind the scenes. I decided to leave the site up while I was doing it, but it might have caused some lag for some of you.

      Serious question... do the gifs slow down the site? If they do, I can throttle back. Thought about starting a "favorite gif" thread in the Off-Topic forum, but was concerned it might slow down the website. I have tough skin, so let me know if I need to change my ways. Shockernet humor helps get me through the good times and the bad. Noticed we had a couple of Russian hackers this morning... go Kung Wu!

        Not at all! Most of those are just links to external content, so just a little string of text from a web server's perspective. It's the user's browser that actually goes and fetches a gif from whatever server you link them from. If the person is on mobile and you drop a reference to a large image in a post, it might take their mobile device a little longer to download the gif, but in this day and age most devices are on 4G, so the experience with even largish images isn't too bad.
