more band width

Is it just me and my Model "T" style dial up or does everyone get the message "the server is busy please try again later"

may be time to boost up the band width.

During peak use everyone will get that message. Even I get it. Dialup can be very slow. If you can do so upgrade, you will never want to go back to dialup. No matter what we do on the server side there will always be delays. This is a huge database, not a static web page like most places or even some of those tiny forums out there.

Maybe time to boost $15.99 for a ClubFTE membership ?

There are major benefits to membership


FTE traffic is like visiting O'Hare airport in Chicago.

I just gave 16 bucks to the cause. I'd send more if I had it, but I justified my membership via-jingle jar change.

I do have to say that the supporter box looks good near your name. I get a "server busy" message every so often, but seems like I got the message more tonight than any other time.

Thank you.

I have noticed though, they must be some nice servers. Even when there is heavy traffic, it's still blazing fast. The only time i have a problem is the occasional server busy message. When that finally disappears, it's still blazing fast.

When I win the lotto I'm going to buy FTE the fastest Dell server they make and locate it in my newly constructed 10 car garage. (That way I have fast access to the database so I can figure out how to fix my truck while it's up on the lift.) Anyone want to start an FTE lotto pool?
