hwatkins Posted July 2, 2004 Share Posted July 2, 2004 Let's count the things that don't work and warn others to not try this at home: 1. Do not tip the server. Much like tipping cows, it does little good and just generally irritates the offended party. 2. Do not blow your cookies. Just a generally disgusting activity that only seems to be interesting to the absurdly deviate at certain websites. 3. Do not type in all caps. This offensive yelling will hurt the server's feelings and put you in that 'spit in their drink' category of a rude customer. 4. Do not try to be witty. Just like us, when the service is a bit under the weather attempts at humor can have quite the negative effect. 5. Do not try the Dick Cheney senate floor tactic. While the F word is extraordinarily versatile and lyrical it can be taken in the wrong way - especially when you are not feeling on top of the world. I think we should take the day off and play some golf (gosh darnit - physician Heal thyself - I am off to the course now)... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

picky Posted July 2, 2004 Share Posted July 2, 2004 fini: Can you imagine trying to do a drawing in AutoCAD while the PC was running this slow? SHEESH! I'm sure glad they are working on it. The server is probably just choking on all of the old posts about Bose systems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Amy Posted July 2, 2004 Moderators Share Posted July 2, 2004 I've been told it's our new virus scan software that's clogging up the entire system. They are still working on it. Sorry, everybody! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olorin Posted July 2, 2004 Share Posted July 2, 2004 Remember, kicking the server once is maintenance. Kicking it twice is abuse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notneB Posted July 2, 2004 Share Posted July 2, 2004 Is that kicking them once a day, once a year, or what? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheEAR Posted July 7, 2004 Share Posted July 7, 2004 Some know it all decided to IMPROVE and took the dual Xeon server home and in its place installed a 486! This forum is now as slow as molasses Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cleve Posted July 7, 2004 Share Posted July 7, 2004 It's not Norton's fault - it's the fault of whoever installed, and set up, the software. I subscribe to plenty of other forums that don't have this problem. It's been this way for weeks now - it's like going back to the days of a 9600 baud modem (except even slower) Whoever Klipsch pays to provide webspace and maintain the pages should be required to rectify the situation.

If the forum is SLOW, and people lose interest, it's not providing the marketing service/outreach for Klipsch that the company is paying for. Therefore, it's in both Klipsch and the subscribers' best interest to fix the forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klipsch Employees Trey Cannon Posted July 7, 2004 Klipsch Employees Share Posted July 7, 2004 Most everything is done inhouse. We added new virus software and thought that was our porblem. Turns out we have a problem with our SQL server...we are working on it. I have noticed that it is getting better. You think it is slow there, you should be in house...but, like I said, it is getting better and we are working on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
