Why Boards was down again. no Kidding!

Akrasia · 15-01-2014 8:16am #1

All of us know that Boards is for posting lots of words. That's why Boards has a big hoard of ascii chars in a big hard disk so that words can go up on boards.

But too many of us post too many words using a common ascii char and I think that Boards has run out of this char.

To stop Boards from going down again, us boards guys (and girls) should try our most to not post words with this ascii char so much until Boards can find a supply of this common char that won't run out.

It's gonna hurt and posting is tricky to put up on boards this way, but it's not as bad as all of boards crashing so much. (almost most days now!!)

So who's in???

I'll just blame Dav...he was responsible first time round so it's fair to think he did it again....or maybe it was the board's office gerbil got into the outer

No focking idea what you are on about OP but next time it happens I'm off karma whoring on Reddit. My loyalty was pushed pretty far.

Ciderswigger · 15-01-2014 8:22am

Wait, what? You wanna stop who from going down on who?

B_Rabbit · 15-01-2014 8:22am

I think he means stars for words like **** and **** and ***********.

Go **** yourself OP.

Isn't Ascii one of the Geldof kids, Qwertys' sister?

Are you suggesting we all try not to use the letter E?

Plazaman · 15-01-2014 8:26am

What's this about chairs now?

If they have a problem at the Boards Office they should check out this little beauty.

It's been done, in TCN of all places.

Pointless, meaningless drivel. I suggest a more constructive pastime to fulfill your day.

Akrasia · 15-01-2014 8:36am

I know it's flippin hard, but not as bad as boards crashing so much.

all of us must work hard to do this!

If boards crash again, it's his ^ fault.

It's hard but it looks as if it's not hard. You did a good try though. This ascii char is almost ubiquitous

I'm forever accidentally clicking on them when viewing the site on my ipod.... I'm probably worth more than a subscriber at this stage.

That leaves a certain mod./admin in a pickle!

Akrasia · 15-01-2014 9:42am

not all will pull through. I cry for all who can not adjust. This is a dark pit to fall into.

JohnFalstaff · 15-01-2014 9:42am

If you think this is difficult, check out the book Gadsby.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gadsby_(novel)

50,000 words - none containing 'e'

(Perec's A Void does the same thing, but Gadsby did it first.)

Akrasia · 15-01-2014 9:45am

If this won't qualify Akrasia for honour of a Dorky award, nothing will.

(nb, tomorrow, found dorky awards, appoint Akrasia as only guy to pick who wins awards)

a book that is probably not as hard to put in ink as an author, as it is to finish and say that it was good.
