Where's the TOW?

The TOW isn't in the OT page anymore and when I try to search for it, it shows as chixdiggit as the poster, and when I try to click on the thread it shows as invalid.

I think it got merged with the JKETCH thread, but that still doesn't explain how chixdiggit's name overtook Samoan-Ridah's when the TOW came long before the JKETCH.

Or am I dumb(er)?

We're doing some testing right now regarding forum speeds.
It's only slight experimentation, I ask everyone to hang in there as we optimize mbworld for the best browsing experience. Thanks.

whoa, I just noticed that.

TOW probably took up too much space would be my guess.

TOW was soft deleted to measure performance gains. As we all noticed, page loads across the board have been dragging into the weeds. I think we see a marked improvement at the moment. Stay tuned.

Rick, meet me in Bayonne down at the port so we can "discuss" removing TOW. In case you needed directions I will give them like you gave the Edison meet...

Go to Bayonne and look for the ocean. You will see crain thingy's. I will be somewhere in there. hahaha

TOW may it R.I.P. If it's better for the site, then it's all cool n the gang.

I'm still on the first page of all of the members in terms of post count. I went from part of the top ten to #19.

I still have a ton of posts though so I'm not worried.

Relax guys, the TOW is still there. We can't see it, but mods and admins can (from my experience with vB).

It's just a matter of if they want to bring it back or not.

VB? is that what you are calling your STD's these days? Honestly, I could care less if TOW comes back. I like this speed better.
