Hello: In light of recent server lag, I have purchased a gigabit network adapter. This thing is supposed to be TEN times faster than the 10/100 ethernet I have right now. This may not solve all of our lag issues, but it will certainly help with packet collisions, etc and should work to improve lag in general. It is also self configuring, which means it's smarter than I am (even though that's not a major feat  ). Anyway, this should be a nice little present for the server, so next reset I am trying this thing out. Probably in about an hour. Cheers and enjoy! |

Should you ever need a kidney, I'm your man. If you don't mind a slightly used *couch hack* lung, I've got one to spare too.
Seriously, thanks.

*bows to Justi* you freaking rule man. I know have told you that a lot lately, but you keep doing cool stuff for all of us here. Thanks a bazillion (thats more than Manshin) and you know, If you'd give us a way, I am more than sure that there are several others who would be very happy to send you some money for the countless hours of enjoyment your hard work and money have given us. Just an idea...anyone else agree?

Yah, I would definitely send Justi some gratitude cash. You do a heck of alot for us on the server (as well as the other wonderful DM's) and you deserve to get something in return. Just think it over and I am sure you'll be surprised at how much funding you recieve in gratitude^_^

I shall say yes, this is most amazing, but justice must be done, you deserved more than our gratitude. I made my words from the words of others, the time you and this wonderfull team spent with us, and such personal donations and sacrifices are priceless, but open a channel as said and be certain that at least a bit of gratitude could be show from at least some of us...

I very much appreciate all the praise. Thank you very much.  But it looks like this hasn't done anything to help server lag. Apparently, it's not packet collision or anything like that causing the lag, but I had to be sure. Anyway, when we do root this out, and we will, this is still a nifty thing to have around. Let it be known that we have not yet begun to fight! We will get to the bottom of this, to be sure... So, time to initiate palns A-Z until we conquer the dreaded recent increase in lag. It will be done. |

i dunno, it seemed to help some, but the improvement was not back to the old days. but it was better. I'd still send some cash. cause man, all those waterfalls in the Damp Hills areas are beautiful. seriously, the only problem with the lag is that I am having trouble getting to all the places that have been put in here. *crosses fingers hoping plan D works*
