Well the rush of E3 traffic was pushing the loads so high here the site has been difficult to update (it took over two hours to get the first posts of the day online yesterday) so furn has disabled the messageboards to see if they are partly to blame, the boards' clunkiness in the past has been a contributing factor to the unimpressive amount of use they get, which itself says taking the boards offline is probably worthwhile trade for the moment if it helps the site run better. Between the load problems and Frans' cable modem biting the dust (or whatever it is modems do when they go kerblooie--perhaps it's byte the dust?) we've had our share of adventures covering the show, but hey... that's what keeps life interesting.
