�Got into a conversation with fishmech by accident, took several posts to realize� is a forums rite of passage which newer goons will never understand like we do

for the longest time I kept confusing fishmech and leperflesh, because leperflesh traditionally went by leperfish in dwarf fortress threads

Last night I dreamt of Adolf searching for Anne.
I lay on my back
standing alone in the corner watching the girls dance.
I'm on crystal meth.
I piss in my pants.

Credit where it's due, ZDR's late-2015/early-2016 move from the aging hardware (notably including an ancient load balancer made in the '90s that radium allegedly got on ebay) to the cloud sped up the forums a ton.

We're definitely still in the process of correcting a lot of oversights from the past. My personal favorite example of that right now would be a change we made back in April: we set up a newer version of memcached, something the forums use to store copies of all kinds of data in memory (fast) to avoid having to bother the database so much (slower). Before the update, periods of high forum activity (like the 2020 presidential debates) could make the memcached servers lock up in a strange way that was difficult to try to debug, causing most/all forum pages to take ages to load until memcached was restarted. Since the update, we have not run into this issue at all, and given the extreme level of traffic this thread generated in its first day, we can call the issue pretty conclusively solved.

thanks for keeping the dumpster fire going nerd, appreciate you doing your thankless job.

old sa had a lot of great content. the big peeler threads that werent a countdown to mary-kate and ashley olsen being legal were pretty hilarious and amazing. the weird trip reports of goons doing really weird perverted poo poo. the photoshop fridays. the relentless image macros. people trying to understand how anything worked. yeah it had more juvenile posters, but it had a lot of well center people too.

i guess i just want to say

bring back dpph

So this whole lowtax dying thing was already hard enough to explain to people not terminally onIine, now we gotta explain screamy and the cum mouth to these folks too? Migh5 as well be describing alien culture at this point
(Screamy and the cum mouth would make a good band name btw)

Guys I'm pretty late to this thread, but I know that Richard has passed away. Does anyone know if this was related to the poor man's lovely spine? My first assumption was that the loss of revenue from the forums resulted in his titanium psuedo-spine being repossessed due to outstanding loans and no health insurance. :shrug:

it would be pretty funny if Uwe Boll punched Lowtax hard enough that it did a rock-em sock-em robots job on Lowtax's spine and that led to all of this trash-fire

like, Lowtax was maybe gonna be an abusive POS anyway, but imagine if this was the trigger

Yeah, that option was added immediately after Jeffrey bought the forums.

edit: I don't think it's really advertised, but donations made since then also change the color to a much nicer blue, if the badge isn't hidden.

Yeah but I'd rather just change my color while retaining Lipstick Apathy
