Somebody under the moniker of mercy (who obviously had none,lol) was griping. It was spooky to see the grey lock down bar across the top of the thread...a twinge of panic hit here as I wondered what was 'incoming' aside from the snow.

I still don't think it bodes well... it seems they had to free up the news section for upcoming events.

Mossad, thank you for part deux.

Tubavil, thank you for part one of the most fascinating and insightful thread I've seen on FR in a long time.

Hi Mossad1967. I was waiting for someone to create Part II! Thanks. The move to chat by the mod makes much sense.

You have to understand that most people on this (and the old thread) are at least slightly paranoid, so they think of the "conspiracy" type explanation first. :)

Fair enough.

I don't understand the programming problem but it's not the size of the thread causing problems when all of you are posting and reading.

The problem comes up when one of you posts an Abuse Report, for whatever reason. When the moderators access the thread it puts a huge load on the system which is increasing as the thread size increases.

A request for help from any Tennessee Freepers:

There was an article posted in "The Tennessean" this past week (1/23 or 1/24, I think) about continued security lapses at the Oak Ridge nuclear facility. I have searched extensively through their archives and have even Googled it, but so far no luck in finding the article to post.

Did anyone else out there read this article, and if so, any help in posting a link would be greatly appreciated.

"...every time any of the moderators attempted to access the thread the entire system slowed down. There is a known problem with how the database software works and John Robinson has not yet fixed it."

That is reasonable as no one would want to slow down FR especially with 02/02/04 looming, but I wish you had announced that prior to locking it up. Thanks for explaining it on this thread.

===

Interesting. Maybe the system tries to load all the posts on the thread. Since most threads are not anywhere this long, it probably isn't worth to try to do some programming, so it only loads the 10 or so posts before and after the post the Mod is getting a report on. I can see, how the system trying to load over 10,000 at the same time can create problem.

I think the system is probably set up, so when we access it, it only loads the 50 or so posts on one page, and the system can handle that with no problems.

We're not paranoid. Why would you say something like that? Are you out to get us like the rest of them? Next thing you know, you'll try to follow us around like the others, you know, the guys in the trench coats with the dark glasses. And don't even get me going on those damn helicopters. Someone stole my hat. Where's my hat? Oh there it is...

From Thread I:

Unless you are sitting behind some really good firewalls and have very good antivirus software then be careful where you go. I am serious. These people are hacking and if they can get personal info on you then I don't know what they will do with it. They are using Java programs to do who knows what. And I don't mean to trash your computer...so it must be simply to get information about you. I may be a victim myself. I found evidence that Java web start had been used without my knowledge. And I found files in my root drive with Arabic letters for file names. I am worried quite simply. So please be careful and leave the scary web site searching up to those who are seriously set up for it.

Where in the root drive did you find the files? I'd like to take a look what's lurking in mine.

Since it wasn't the number of posts, but rather, people hitting the "abuse" button frequently, I'd like to know why this thread generated that kind of reaction from so many people. (Maybe EOM or Daleel disapproved of the thread- :))

"You have to understand that most people on this (and the old thread) are at least slightly paranoid"

ROFLOL...the moderator would have to read the entire part one with all the links in order to really comprehend the timing of the move to chat, one week before the countdown ends, had a tinge of the surreal (as in a Clancy novel.)
