I don't know if you guys have noticed the forums (when they weren't being indexed) have been going extra fast lately. This is because I enabled, uh, something in Cloudflare (I honestly cannot remember the name of it and I'm too loving lazy to find my phone to do a two factor auth and see what it is in the control panel). In the last two weeks, when I've had the option enabled, it racked up a bill (based off bandwidth) of an extra $1,500 charge, in addition to the $220 monthly fee Cloudflare charges.

Is this worth it to you guys? I'm like over $200,000 in debt from medical bills (which are incredibly still going on) and taxes and poo poo, so I gotta ask you guys if it's worth it to you. I'll like try to figure out some way to mitigate the costs or do something somehow if you all really notice the speed difference and appreciate it, but right now from a purely financial standpoint, it's taking me into the opposite direction of where I need to go. So any input or opinions would be very appreciated by myself, Rich "Hitler" Kyanka, creator of 4chan, 8chan, and the man who solely elected Donald Trump.

Dude, Richard, just let the forums run at normal speed, that is absolutely insane and I for one appreciate you asking and I think I speak for everyone when I say don't go spending that much money especially with what is happening with your health and the fact that you have another kid and stuff dude. I'm coming out of my dumbass retard troll shell to say we do not need the extra speed my man

All I want is to be able to search 60% of the posts from 2017

Save the money imo. True goons get motion sickness from the high speeds

The forums are actually too fast honestly. It moves really fast and it scares me. We should really slow it down actually because I think someone is going to end up hurt at these speeds.

I'm thinking of spending $1500 extra a month so people can post about making GBS threads their pants a second faster and I gotta say, I'd rather you just pocketed that money

Turn it off. I don't really care if a page takes 2 or 0.2 seconds to load, as evidenced by the fact I haven't noticed in the slightest.

I'll take slightly slower forums.

People say it's better to burn out than fade away, but I think of these forums as a Sometimes food, so I'd hate to come back next week/month/year/decade/however long it'll be until I post again and see that the forums are down because they repossessed your spine and took all our property (our posts) to cover the interest.

I mostly browse from my phone these days, and I'm willing to bet I'm not the only goon who does, so it makes zero difference for me.

Turn that poo poo off and save a few dollars.

Reassisted Retrogression
So the bill is normally 220 but but with the turbo button pressed its 1500? Not sure that's totally worth it.


Honestly, I don't mind the forums being a little slow as long as they are stable.
