no. it means like 'database server 3' and is probably some ancient mysql myisam smoldering garbage fire

i can believe it

SA is a shambling mess of 15 years of amateur hacks built out of reinvented wheels, all fueled by stubborn ignorance and a refusal to believe there is any other way of doing things

uhh no offense but this is the worlds most advanced forum software idiot - loetaxxe

lmfao lowtax is literally begging for dollars because the alternative would involve making something that people find funny, and maybe renaming gbs to "purple monkey dishwasher" isn't going to cut it

i believe you'll find a curated, handcrafted collection of hilarious content on the something awful front page

who remembers when lowtax tried to make a real lovely fake Simpsons thing that was tragically unfunny to viral

or fauxtesting

I remember both of those. it was Bart the general. made by chef boyardee who went on to create the classic dilbert 2 and 3

and also, faux testing wasn't lowtaxes idea. he actually originally called it propesting, and some random goon coined the far more clever fauxtesting in the thread and lowtax had a gay baby meltdown about it lol

upgrading would be pretty much going from scratch

like lol if you think radium's additions would accept any upgrade peacefully in a sane way

no, radium's code is like a foreign object, a parasite keeping everything together in a very delicate house of cards

I didn't say to upgrade. I said to start from scratch, with any forum software. the TCO of that would be far lower than the probably half million dollars dumped into the development and upkeep of this pos. the real problem is this site requires a developer, and he can't afford it anymore. in addition he only trusts a small coterie of people with questionable experience and skill to make changes. he can't afford the next time the database shits the bed. and there's no one doing preventative maintenance.

Database Unavailable!
The database is currently not available. You can try doing whatever it is you were trying to do again later. You do not need to notify anyone of your arrival at this page.

Dear Friend,

Hello! I am very sorry that you are reading this page right now instead of posting hilarious comedy on the internet. I'm sure this issue will resolve itself soon.
Thanks,
