Forum slowness: Solution! - 07-11-02

A friend put my attention to the sluggishness of the forum. He pointed out that one of the ads servers was the perpetrator. This file, once unzipped to the proper location, should prevent any further sluggishness.

For Windows 95, 98 and ME unzip the attached file in C:\Windows
For Windows 2000 / XP unzip attached file in C:\WINNT\system32\drivers\etc

Geeks can look inside to figure out how it works, use notepad!

It will also crush the KaZaA ads.

A virus in 569 bytes? LOL I'd have to be a pretty good programmer to do that. If you check inside the ZIP you will find but one file, called HOSTS, which you can open with Notepad (it is a textfile). This file instructs the operating system to not look for the banners where they are supposed to be, but look for them on your own computer. They are not there, so the browser will skip those images.

Keeper, instructions mailed.

Aet, so you know not all XP systems have the C:\WINNT file on thier computer. as i am running XP and it is still just windows with no WINNT file. anyways thanks for the file fix


You can look at it as a metaphor for the fleeting nature of human life, or just chalk it up to my being a sick, bloodthirsty monster. Either way, it's all the same.

Yup, Crypt, I realised that lateron. Replace "winnt" by "windows" for XP systems, the rest of the path remains the same.

The goal here was to block a single faulty banner... not to eradict all the forum banners (which the admins make money from).

The PING command is used to test network connectivity and network latency. It is a diagnostic tool, not an optimalisation (speedup) tool. If anything, malicious users use it to launch DOS attacks (Denial Of Service) with pingfloods.

But bottomline is... Ping is not a speedup tool.

Hey, old thread, new question...

Why is it that the new forum design is causing me lagjumps when scrolling??
It's so much harder to access shite on here now due to it...

It's like trying to run EQ with all options on...


A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, con a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly.
Specialization is for insects!!

amazing how much they look like orchids, isn't it!!
One man's theology is another man's belly laugh.
Money is a powerfull aphrodisiac. But flowers work almost as well.
It is better to copulate than never.

Of all the strange "crimes" that human beings have legislated out of nothing, "blasphamy" is one of the most amazing--with "obscenity" and "indecent exposure" fighting it out for second place.
i'm conspiracies alter-ego.

Little girls, like butterflies, need no excuse.

This sig is the "suggested" 20 lines long..

What is EQ?

And I haven't analysed the new design yet... But IE6 SP1 gives me little problems. Perhaps it's just the banners again?
