quote: Why do you think this will make any difference?

Why would it? Adding more RAM isn't yet any longterm solution, as ACS will undoubtely grow, plus the site has been down frequently (three nights in a row this week the site was not responding for several hours; see the CGN discussion).

quote: If you think it will make no difference, then why are you doing it?

I feel entitled to call ACS so if I want and as the QoS hasn't improved noticable recently (and I don't have a bloody dial-up modem, so I would have noitced any speed-ups).

So when you distort names to make them abusive it is a witty rebellion against poor service. When I do it is worthy of a rolling eyes smily. That's alright Asucka, as long as I know where I stand.

Anyway, what I meant was "Why do you think that calling ACS 'Crapolyton' will have any effect on the QoS whatsoever?"

What you're leaving again?

If you can't take it, Rasbelin, you shouldn't be so keen to dish it out.

That notwithstanding, the record should note that neither I nor Dr.Spike suggested that we didn't want you as part of the community. And even if we did say that we are hardly spokespeople for the other 34,997 people here (or however many it is now).

Leave if you want to, but don't try and blame it on us.

No, this is the first time I'm going to leave this community. I maybe back sometime next year or maybe going to see you never again. Who knows. However definetly I will be leaving now for a long time. This community doesn't seem to need me and neither do I seem to do any good here either; well, except give you reasons to laugh at me.

	Tired of ads?

Tass contacted me and told what's going on, so I decided to get back and rectify two things.

1. I do appologise to those who feel offended by the name Crapolyton, but I have my right to say so, if I can reasonably explain why. Which I have tried to do. I usually don't use the name, as there's no need for it.

2. badams52, you quote me in the wrong context. Surely it makes me look like a bad guy in that form as YOU put it, but if you read the whole post, it was regarding cussing about other websites on some other website. I haven't done so. That's the fact and my very own principle too, which I have NOT broken now. Now you own an appology.

Yes, I admit, even when I posted it I knew it was taken out of context and if you read your statement clearly enough, it's certain that you're talking about cussing web site 1 in a public thread on web site 2. I wanted clarification on your stance.

quote: Now you own an appology.

Does this mean you are apologizing? Or do you mean you want me to apologize? If it's the latter I rarely give apologies when someone demands it from me.

And I just love apologies with excuses. Makes them so much more effective.

I think the term "Crapolyton" is about as inventive as terms like "Windoze" or "Winblows" as used by Windows haters. It's not offensive, it's just silly.

I'd like it if Apolyton started accepting donations, getting a mirror server or whatever to get rid of the problems and downtime. But that's not my decision to make, and I respect the decisions made by Dan and Markos. Let's not forget how much time they've spent to make this site as great as it is.

I'm pretty sure they know full well of the options themselves.

And isn't the main reason it's such a problem for you that you visit it so often and don't want to see it down?

The most critical times seem to be the afternoons (European time), so try to visit Apolyton a little less often and avoid the peek hours. Or is that too much trouble for you? So you just go away altogether. If that's what makes you happy, go for it.
