It almost the weekend!

 

[Suprtek]

I really didn't need to see that again.

 

[Sylvain]

I've only got 12~~ out of 35,000 but I'm getting there!!

You really think you got that many???
Get real you are closer to 5.

 

[Rayne]

Looks like Rayne's been doing some naughty interweb browsing...

Nice package under the tree.

That's the problem, I don't think he's packing anything.

 

[HandK]

Hello, boys and girls.

 

[Suprtek]

Maybe back then you didn't need the same quality you do nowadays.
A post saying "hi" was judged high quality.

 

[HandK]

Dang it!

 

[HandK]

Er!!! I meen Pownage!!

 

[Scutter01]

That's lots of times faster.
They use tin cans and strings before?

Without getting too technical, yeah. It's a bit like trying to fill a pool with a garden hose, except you cut three feet out of the hose and replace it with a crazy straw, and then you can't figure out why it takes three weeks to fill your pool. I took out the hose and the pool, put in a much nicer built-in pool that you don't have to re-inflate every year, with pre-constructed places for future upgrades (like a slide, a pool cover, etc.) and I replaced the garden hose with a tanker truck and nozzle from a Saturn V rocket. And then I built a really nice fence around it and installed special locks so that you can have all of your friends over whenever they want, but give them each their own key card, so if your house is trashed while you're gone, you'll know who did it.

Oh, and I set it up so that you can add as many more pools as you want at any time. You know, just in case you need a wading pool, or a lap pool, or a doggy pool, or a... well, let's just say a "grotto", if you know what I mean (and I think you do).

You got quite technical ... about pools.
But I get it.
Do you take care of INGO stuff too or is that not part of the "mod job"?

 

[Suprtek]

I'd be happy with just a little hot tub.

I always thought you worked on network computer stuff...I'm sorry I've confused you with the pool man. My bad!!!

At the moment, yes...ish. We actually have a server guy who is much better at optimizing and maintaining vBulletin than I. After the events of the weekend, I'm trying to get out of any tasks I still do, but it will take time.

I want a pool with a slide!!

I'm back...

Oh, I could put it in computer-speak, but people's eye's usually glaze over after the second word. Then they scream "NERD!" and run away.
