I just want to give a hardy congratulations to Jim and John on the website's performance tonight.

Throughout one of the biggest political nights of the year, the site's response was snappy, and I never once had any delay in refreshing or viewing posts/threads. The live debate thread was flying good and fast.

Guys - coming from a fellow tech-head your recent hard work on server and database upgrades is appreciated immensely.

THE CHECK IS IN THE MAIL!

Excellent work gents...

Bumpity bump!

[KoRn]

Very true!!!

Being in IT, I know that the tech area is a thankless job. You always hear complaints when things aren’t working so well, but never hear a word when things are going well.

FR has been performing great lately!!

[jakerobins]

Things running very smooth...Awesome job..THANK YOU

Thank ya John! Thank ya Jim!

[RDTF]

[smokingfrog]

Kudos! Everyone complains when FR is slow. How come this thread only has 34 pings!?!?

[bamahead]

Yep I agree. That’s why I started this thread. I work in IT and I know fully well that you only hear about it when it doesn’t work.

I wanted these guys to know at least some of us appreciate the blood, sweat, and love they pour into this great site!

[conservatism_IS_compassion]

Thank you Jim and John for this forum. I would have gone completely insane years ago were it not for this place and these friends and you guys!

My new tagline says it, fullchoma:

We come to FR to pool our skepticism.

And the reason we need to do so is simple:

The wisest and most cautious of us all frequently gives credit to stories which he himself is afterwards both ashamed and astonished that he could possibly think of believing . . .

It is acquired wisdom and experience only that teach incredulity,
and they very seldom teach it enough.   -Adam Smith

It is indeed refreshing that FR has new servers delivering crisp performance.
