I understand the temptation to sell out. Especially if you grew up poor, or if you've been struggling for a long time. What I don't understand is why people who couldn't possibly need any more money keep selling out. Like, you've won the game! You can stop playing now!

People paying American dollars to let other people know they didn't agree with someone's position on something is the lifeblood of these forums.
Just sell out in overseas markets like a normal person/Tommy Lee "Boss Coffee" Jones.

It's absolutely fine via the awful app which is basically the only way I've used the forums for years now.

i am happy to know it’s not causing any immediate issues but in the next month or so I might ask someone to start a new one and archive this one anyway just for a fresh start and an easier navigating experience (so we can have two big threads as opposed to one, two year old megathread) but it’s not a big emergency

i will let you folks know when i plan to do that and someone can pipe in to create the new thread later on down the line but i will make a note in this thread when that time comes

Whenever I get slowdown I just run the PC diagnoses and it'll come back like 'yeah you've got 6 things slowing your pc down' and once I tell it to fix those then it speeds up.

One thread that's actually been running crappy for me is the Gif thread. Which is probably from people posting huge un-optimized gifs.

It's been so long but even this barest of context clues make me pretty certain of what this exact place is. Does it involve lots of running and camping like a wuss on the highest and most inaccessible parts of huge industrial equipment to avoid an almost certain mauling below

like, client side loading? i thought the old megathreads were getting closed at a certain page count because the search or something in the backend was horribly unoptimised and it was loving up the forums to have threads that long

and then someone made it slightly less unoptimised and we kind of went back to normal

Yup. Even worse are PYF threads about posting music, because of all the embedded videos. Usually the OP has a request to have only one embed per post to make it more smoothly, but that rule goes out of the window before page 1 even ends.

I thought it was just something dumb and obvious like the page-jump navigation select box in the bottom right getting thousands of entries in it.
