How do I make SailorBob let me in?

[Fly Navy]

Yes, but in a different way. We even have our very own post whores over there too....that would put even you to shame.

Ever surf AR15.com? There are people there with posts in the 10s of thousands... yes... that many.

Yeah, it's nuts. One of the largest boards on the internet (can't remember where it was ranked, not like top 10 or anything). I always wonder what kind of servers they have going.

Just wondering, Steve and Webmaster, you guys ever run into any trouble with the press snooping on this site?

No. But then again, we have a great MOD team, and we do a pretty good job policing the site. Now, I have "overheard" that at times AW as a site was not "looked fondly upon" by the powers that be...

Some of these high end boards are pretty amazing with multiple servers to handle the queries. There was a case study/exaplanation of a high end VB setup using 5 servers. Needless to say, this site is small potatoes and I doubt at our present rate of growth that we will need to transition past 1 server

Must be doing something right then.

My DH (you may know him as "Penguin") snoops at times. I have seen it open on his desktop. Lurker only from what I see.

I am rather ambivalent about what he thinks of my posts. I am fairly vocal at work as well. 3 of 4 COs have liked that, and the current XO/PXO do so I can speak freely as long as its only O's/CPO's around.

Oh yeah, I don't even try to hide behind my user name. It is on my nametag.

This I can actually vouch for.
Undermining good order and discipline? What? Me? Noooo

Clearly they're not the running SUX2000 servers we use....

Nor do I.

...well, most of the time at least....unless you're in "Popeye" mode

Yea, but "he's" only got two posts.
