convince the robots to add servers! (read all 3 entries…)
help us obi-robots, you're our only hope!

Dear robots,

I am a patient man. In fact I think it would be fair to say that nearly everyone who uses 43T are patient people. We all know life isn’t perfect. We all try to be as patient as we can. Patience usually works pretty well.

There comes a day, however, when patience needs to be put in a jar, labeled “patience” and put up on the high shelf. There comes a day when we need to bring down another jar from the shelf. This jar is labeled “slightly irritated”.

Dear robots, today is the day! Today is the day I bring down the jar marked “slightly irritated”, and open it. I’m sorry, I had to do it! What’s inside? Something a little more pungent and unpleasant than could be found in the “patience” jar. It is a murky sort of liquid, quite thick like soup, with lots of little four letter words floating around in it. These have a tendency to rapidly evaporate out and turn the air a rather pale shade of purple.

Now, dear robots, I’m sure I don’t need to tell you that there are other jars on the shelf, do I? You’re pretty smart robots; I reckon you will have already worked that out for yourselves that there are also jars labeled “annoyed”, and “peeved”, and “mildly pi**ed”. I could go on. We don’t want to go there do we? We don’t want to start opening some of those other jars. I don’t want to. I don’t like the smell of “slightly irritated”.

What right have I to open the “slightly irritated” jar, you might ask? Well, true, you created this 43T universe that we all love, and fair to say, we are more than thankful to you. As a matter of fact, we love you. You are the guardians of our tightly connected web of aspirations. But you need us too, don’t you? What is 43T without users? How many other users are opening jars labeled “slightly irritated”, or worse? If we’re not careful, this whole joint is gonna get stunk up pretty bad!

I’m asking you to help us, dear robots. Please help to keep 43T smelling fresh and fragrant. Do whatever you can. You know best. Maybe…hmmm….add a few more servers?

Yours appreciatively,

Superbligh.

What's the problem?

That’s a well written entry, but I’ve read it three times and I can’t tell what you want us to do.

The servers have been added, hardware upgraded, databases tweaked, and the site is running faster than ever with more traffic than ever. Is there a current problem you are seeing? If so, a clear description would be super helpful.

Thanks!

You are marvelous, don’t you know? I was having problems with the oops page last night but perhaps you’ve already sorted it. I’ll keep my eyes open.

Robots, you rock! You smell great too. :-)

the international hog of mystery explore, learn, disco...

are you the robots?

i just wanted to say that we love u tremendously.

in a platonic way, of course (unless otherwise requested, in which case we can spot the hottest members of any requested gender(s) and assign the mission of keeping u robots happy in ways other than platonic).

and thank u for keeping us connected. we all feel less lonely and more entertained thanks to u.

respectfully,
iwona

Ahhh...

while you’re still on the line (I hope you still are), could you just quickly tell me where you got the number 43 from?

It's a prime number less than 50

The number 43 has pretty much always existed. We looked at lots of different numbers and 43 felt like the right one.

If I may make so bold...

it’s gone nothing to do with 43 folders in a tickler file has it?

Or are these the words of Satan himself? :-)

Nothing

Nothing at all. Pure coincidence.

i think i understand...

ninety-three is prime as six times nine is forty-two!

“43 felt like the right one

forty-two plus one is FORTY THREE

is that right, josh? the answer plus one?

tres cool if it were
