Official Site Withdrawl

[Mr. Brian]

only a day or 2. why is everyone ina tizzy?
(especially since no one 'goes there anyway')

tizzy
n. pl. tiz·zies Slang
A state of nervous excitement or confusion; a dither.

Hardly. I think we are just wondering why it takes several days or up to a week to do such a thing. It should be seamless. The Bunnymen deserve better.
Personally, I am not anti-official website by any means believe it or not. The official website is important and has value to advertise the band and provide official announcements.
I sure hope they are not going to host this on a DSL or broadband line from a home server which is what it sounds like from that newsletter. That would be a real disaster.

DSL would probably provide adequate bandwidth. Given the level of site activity, it hardly requires a 20-blade server on a 10 Gbps line.

I haven't had ANY interruption at all!

Moondance, we all know you have a dedicated transatlantic cable hooked directly to the bunnyserver.

OK. I thought you were trying to get on the forum. Sorry withahip.

No, not you moonie - me for not being clear. Everyone is a bit confused by my initial post.

All is good.

[Mr. Brian]

Everybody calm down!

There's the difference between JackT and myself... I read shit on Wikipedia and paraphrase it. He, on the other hand, actually sounds like he knows what the fuck he's talking about.

Question, though - I don't know how bandwidth restrictions are in the UK, but I'd think Comcast or Qwest would pitch a fit if a person ran a video server on a household line over here

Errrr... I was making a snide remark. I don't know anything about servers except the word "blades". I was just pointing out that serving bunnymen.com is probably not the most demanding server application.

[Frank The Bunny]

Oh great, fuck with my image of you. Does that mean you were just bullshitting with all your conservative claptrap as well?


Claptrap - there's a word you don't hear much.
I wonder if it originally had something to do with gonnorhea.

"This brothel is a claptrap!"

Jack's just being modest. He knows all things regarding servers, audio/visual equipment and the kama sutra.

By the way, nice post in the bring Les back thread Jack. You could have just called Peter a liar.

I think he called the whole management liars and Mac too. Brave, brave Jack!

Thanks for the server lesson Frank. Very much appreciated.

Pssst -- they're doomed.
