kns57 - 2009-03-04 8:28 PM Looks like Team Peep Show may be the new Nibbs! They are on their second thread and it's only the 4th day of the month. LOL

It helps that there are now only 17 posts per page. Last year there were 30, then it went down to 25. Last week was 20, now there are 17. It's strange.

Bizarre. Do we know why?

Nope. There have been a few threads in COJ, but I haven't seen a response from Marma.

any theories Dee?

it's the same amount of posts - i can't see where reducing the number of post per thread would have much of an impact one way or another on storage or performance

Theories? Hm.... Marma is having fun messing with our heads.

I think it might be in preparation for the mobile version of BT.

I like my theory better.

It's going to be really fun when we're down to 1 post per page.

hmmm define 'fun'....

Read. NEXT PAGE. Read. NEXT PAGE. Read. NEXT PAGE. Hm. Maybe we're filling up the BT servers, and Marma thinks this will slow down our posting rate? If so, hahahahahahaha, he doesn't really know us.

I would be more inclined to think it is a performance thing... less posts per page the quicker the page is to load..

Artemis - 2009-03-04 9:30 PM Cat, have you figured out what you're going to do for your 20,000th post?

Heh, Cat's stress level just went wayyyyyyyyy up.

Thankfully Im still mad at CG - that is keeping my posting related stress levles down because one girl can only handle so much emotion in one body..

Wait. Why are you mad at CG? Did you tell us already? Are you gonna make me go back and read the previous Nibbs posts?

Yup Ive posted about it too much... go back!

I dont mind being stood up but I dont appreciate no immeadiate grovelling apology!

I was the one who started the inquisition. Someone else replied in that thread that the Mobile influence is what might be triggering this.

I actually think that Jen is probably right... mobile apps.. less data per page etc kind of fits with what I was thinking too

Otherwise... as usage and traffic to BT increases they need to decrease the amount of data loaded each time from the site?

What do I know?

That's crazy! Who stood you up?

CG - I got a text back about 1.5 hours AFTER he was supposed to meet me for a swim...

But he hasnt shown his face down here, emailed or offered to make it up to me... yet..

I mean i was late last week.. but I did show up, I apologised AND I got him goodies (ok free stiff from marketing but I did DO it)

Maybe he is trying to figure out how to make it up to you?

Nah I think he probably thinks - 'sorry I only just woke up' text is enough...

The thing that annoys me most is I was deep asleep when my alarm went off this morning and i could REALLY have done with the extra hour in bed! Ive been tired nad low on sleep all week!

Um. He's a guy. "Sorry I only just woke up" = "full apology in guy talk."

i can't imagine who might be on that team

Reminiscent of a few teams... Flying Fish for one... will be interesting to see if it can be kept up at that pace through to the end of the month!

Jealousy rears its head.

I'm guessing the pace won't keep up, though. No biggie.

Ok... its not after 11... and he hasnt been down to apologise in person.. or offer bribes... I am officially disappointed in the bad manners

And really really looking forward to having the upper hand for awhile..

that is really bad manners!

IT IS!!! And he has been telling me how well he was bought up....

I guess he figured I got a workout in anyway but I WASNT going to swim this morning if he didnt go...

A text saying '#$%^. Just woks up. Sorry" - doesnt really cover it dont you think?

I *could* get over it and go down and see him or email but Im being a brat about it right now! I didnt have a great morning... forgot my hair dryer and my trousers! Had to pull and old pair of jueans out of the back of my car!

No fishnets?

HAhahaha! I was about to ask that, too! Kendra asked it first though.

Racing... although if CG hasnt apologised by then it could provide me with some xtra motivation to REALLY race!

Its a 400m/10/2.5... Im curious to see how i go to be honest... Its a beach start not a deep water start... Ive never done a beach start!

The cycle course has a hill that you go over 5 times... and Ive always raced flat courses...

Oh and the run isnt completely flat either... so Im quite curious about it all... and a little nervous...

For some reason tris make me nervous...

Beach start? I'd think you jog down the beach (trying to avoid collisions with fellow racers), slog into the water (while trying not to fall on top of fellow racers), flop yourself down (into the only 1 cm x 1 cm square of water not occupied by fellow racers), and start swimming (while attempting to avoid fellow racers AND jellyfish)....

But I could be wrong.
