    today.

    as a result, BC will read your minds and automatically bans anybody who is trying to do anything mischievous.

    ..that was painless, didn't even feel it..:cool:

    the upgrade done was upgrading the memory from 2GB to 4GB. we were constantly running out and the machine thrashing a lot. now it is much smoother, and hopefully will live through the anticipated extreme traffic when LD meets LCW on Sat.

    the upgrade is gonna cost me US$25/month. that's one fine tube of AS50, every month. :crying: :crying:

    Asking LD and/or LCW to donate to BC US$25/month

    .
    Perhaps we should ask LD and/or LCW to donate to BC US$25/month.

    Try asking LD first, when you meet him next week. :):):)

    ..noticed a few other changes :cool::
    - The forum's posting area has gone back to look like the previous version.
    - The reply texts' sizes seems a bit bigger than before; or maybe the fonts style was changed.
