From the bottom of the main page. Anybody remember anything special going on that would have so many people?

Yep, I'm avoiding work...

It was those long, slow, summer days that Stephen King like to write about while he sets the scene for a typical horror movie.... Sorry, book. The grass swayed, and it was a typical summer in the Savannah.

Basically, everyone slacked off from their work and posted on e-budo, just like you are doing.

Now can we have your supervisors phone number so we can call him to crack the whip in your direction. :p

budo-forum got hit by something like that one day, it was a bit worrying as I was watching at the time, it even had an attachment from 'admin' - and thats me! So i deleted the account and the rest of these guest accounts decayed away. Pretty odd all in all, but definitely the work of something automated.

Hi Will, yeah the ISP's database server is dog slow today, ironically, its the paid for one, I run another forum on their free server and its much quicker, I guess someone else has a very busy site, at some point I'll move it across when I have the concentration ;-) Anyhoo, its running again now, just a little racing slug like!

Most of the Internet is slow today. Just came off of lycos chat room and that is slower than normal as well. Must be a mid week crisis or something.

[yoj]

mid morning crisis round here mate.

That is what you get for having a job. You should be like me. Underworked and have as much chance as a snowball in hell finding employment.
