And even if we actually win, who's paying up? I'm still waiting for someone to drop some actual numbers so we aren't just talking in circles here. 🙂

So, what ever happened with that whole scandal? 🍿
Looks like a straight-up extortion attempt to me. Honestly, I don't buy this witness's credibility for a second. 😳

By the way, you guys can just delete those messages if you want. Seems like an option. 😁
My stuff isn't even that interesting tbh. Some of it's just straight up boring. But hey, if anyone actually wants it, I'm selling cheap just to grab some cash before this New Server dies. 🥳

mellowscout33 said:maybe he made some cash over the years.
but this "security expert" User456 graduated from MIT.
honestly, I don't think God or anyone up there knows
how the hell he paid for that degree. 🤣

but judging by how he looks, I doubt the guy has any money.
if you saw him, you'd probably give him a crust of bread$1.75 out of pure pity.

I know plenty of people who are loaded but look like total wrecks. Forget the looks.
Where’s the money? 🙂

mistyhound94 said:This question has been hanging around for, I guess, years. When is the server hosting this Reddit actually going to crash? Here’s another one. When will the avant-garde boss at Microsoft finally open his wallet and invest in something more modern and stable? Another question: should we just start some crowdfunding?

I don't know, the ads are obviously there to scrape some cash if someone happens to click them, because, well, that's how it works. But seriously, in almost 13 years of using this Reddit, has it really not been possible to make enough money for a decent server?
I'm not sure if people realize this, but all your passwords and messages are basically exposed since this site isn't running on HTTPS. Mine, yours, his, but CNN money keeps flowing in while the site just gets patched together. Every single year, right when the heatwaves hit, it's like the server just can't take it anymore—as if an Intel Core i7 physically can't handle the heat and starts lagging.

So, you logged in, the home screen loaded, and then you realized you weren't actually logged in?

Or maybe you got a notification, CLICKED ON IT, only to find out it wasn't there, even though it is? You just have to refresh a few times, but then after you write a reply and go back to the thread, it shows a status like the message wasn't even sent? And yet, after several solid refreshes, it finally flashes and says it was sent. Often it sends twice, just in case. Thanks, Microsoft!

Or perhaps you just want to open a thread you're interested in, but the Reddit just spins and does nothing? Then, again, it's solved by a single refresh.
Fantastic!

Can you sense the sarcasm? I doubt it. The boss at Microsoft will probably show up again with some pathetic explanation about how certain things are technically impossible (in the 21st century!) or how there's no money (haha, lol!), just to buy more time. They'll sweep the problem under the rug and move on. If the server survives this summer, man, that would be fantastic. I have this gut feeling that I'll come back here in 10 years and see the exact same mess, because as long as the cash keeps trickling in and everything stays barely functional, nobody complains. Everything is fine. Great. Fantastic! Dammit!

It's a disgrace that in 2021, this server looks exactly like it did when I registered here 13 years ago. A total disgrace. That's all.

or they just don't have the cash (haha lol!)

mellowscout33 said:my theory is they basically live off the scraps from a few idiots who haven't heard of an ad blocker

I don't get you guys. Does the owner actually have server money or not?
You all say there's no cash coming from a few people clicking ads, then turn around and demand he opens his wallet and complain that he does?
I honestly can't keep up. 😁

I don't know if people realize, but all your passwords and messages are totally exposed because this Reddit isn't running on HTTPS. Mine, yours, his... but CNN money keeps flowing while the site stays patched together.

Whoa. Now you're talking. Can't wait. 🙂

Jesse Price said:What now, you feeling called out too?

Ignoring the whole point of this thread and the insults thrown at me, while getting all worked up because I’m talking about a woman who basically earned that treatment? Great.

Again, irrelevant. Just gotta ask, purely so I know who I'm even dealing with here—what's your IQ?

I can't speak on steelridge58 or the mods since I don't know them, but regarding what you linked, I definitely have thoughts. If you talked to me or about me like that, I'd trash you too. 🤷

Joseph Bailey41 said:Eyes wide shut?

If this doesn't belong on the forum... then why the hell did it end up in my inbox?

Just a bucket of worms waiting to be dug up, then it's over.

Betty Fowler said:Just so everyone knows, I'm not making any of this up. Some parts got censored because they reveal way more than necessary.

(there's more coming)

I don't get how one frustrated forum user crowing at another is supposed to prove anything. Like, do you guys from the Philosophy department just ditch logic the second you start typing?
And that whole "she gave it to him" argument? It’s total garbage. Using that line just shows you’ve completely run out of actual points to make. Even if she were sleeping with the entire hospital staff—whatever—it doesn't prove anything about her. Honestly, the only thing it proves is how low your own character is for even bringing it up. Stop being so salty. 🙂

That was pretty much my reaction. 🐔

Same here. I literally bolted to the other room. 😳

Drew Ross2 said:So I wasted my Saturday scrubbing the windows. Kids smeared the inside ones, then the rain trashed the outside... total waste of effort. 🙂

Never even washed a window in my life. 😍

Drew Ross2 said:37.4 😲
Guys die at this temperature, but I'm built different. 🙂

Me. Like a real man. 😬

Drew Ross2 said:dustypilot11, you anarchist 😳
Just reminding myself which one I actually have 🤔

Hani opened one already, look at Louise's name in the thread title. 😳

Thanks for this, man. My boss has been riding my ass lately. 😳

C) just some dumb, boring losers 😳

I'm reporting this chat because you're basically running a one-man show here. 😳

Oh right. I guess the real issue is that out of all those 123456 posts you've made about how life is rigged because you're short, or how girls on Tinder are unfair because they don't pick guys like you, or how everyone just totally gets you wrong... none of them are actually getting any traction anymore. Let's have a minute of silence for that.

Got my vaccine FB frame 🤦

🤣
Pure genius 👍

Stuff like this always ends up being a total clusterfuck. 🤣

Grace Sanders24 said:When was that? The seventies?😲

Believe it or not, there's more where that came from. But not while you're sitting there in bed with your computer still running. 😁

Camping with sausages on a stick? 😍

Jesse Bailey75 said:Internet Explorer

🤣

You can hang with friends, read a book, flip an apartment, start a co-op, wreck someone's garden, get lost on Mount Rainier and call the U.S. Census Bureau, charm some babe, cook new food, learn Chinese characters, or start some DIY projects... but turning on an old PC running Internet Explorer? That ain't it. 😁

Jeremy Johnson18 said:03/16. What’s the secret to a killer pizza?

Got into this debate on a chat thread earlier, so I figured I'd start a new thread here to see what you guys think. The argument was basically that you can't make a real pizza without a wood-fired oven.
Personally, I think that's total nonsense, but hey, I'm no expert.

So, what makes a pizza good in your book? Are you even into pizza at all?

Topic of the day moved after post 50 from topic of the day.

Facts. Anything out of a standard home oven isn't pizza. A regular oven just can't hit those temps. Real pizza takes 5 minutes, not 45.

Personally, I think it's nonsense, but hey, I'm no expert.

And how stupid is it when people start a sentence saying they don't understand, then immediately call it stupid? 😵

Do you guys even like pizza?

I love it, but it definitely doesn't love me.

mistyhound94 said:Just so you don't end up feeling attacked from every single angle, here's the topic, right over there in the Lounge:
If this was just some joke, then I guess it counts as trolling. But if you actually meant that the United States should only consist of Lonely solo people—especially on a subforum where you're a moderator yourself—then how is anyone supposed to feel welcome in an environment where they aren't wanted just because of their relationship status?
Go ahead, explain it to me. I still find it baffling that you were chosen as a mod based on that specific criterion. 🙂

This thread is totally fine. The guy just asked for one topic, not a whole damn book. Why do you think it's wrong to have a corner where single people can deal with their own stuff?

This intro is way too long. It just wanders all over the place. Honestly, cut it down to maybe a quarter of what it is now.

What’s even the point here? Like, how would you even define "quality Avant-Garde" anyway? 🍿

Can someone explain what these changes actually are?
They even put emphasis on the word "paradise," so like, what is that supposed to mean? Is there no moderation left, or are they actually planning to fix things? Like, is someone finally going to tackle that massive rulebook, update those ancient guidelines from 2014, or build some digital memorial for dead users? Is someone actually going to care about user experience or whatever? What's the deal?

Chat paradise 🤷
