I posted a comment in response to rog's in that thread, agreeing with him that the site was being really slow. I just refreshed the page to see my comment and it was totally gone. It's possible that thread was slowing down the site, but I don't see why the thread itself was bad, since Nach created it, and he wouldn't spam this site. I'm just confused...

I deleted it, the thread served its purpose. The purpose of the thread was to spam the site. To see if the site would die from tons of replies or not like it used to.

What were the results then? On my end, it looked like every new page I tried to load took about 3-4 minutes to appear. I thought the site might go down again. But now it's running just fine. In fact the cookies that keep me logged in to the forum are actually keeping me logged in instead of expiring after a few seconds (just on my class computer; every other computer I've tried doesn't have this problem). EDIT: Never mind, it just logged me out again. I think it's this school's network's fault, though, and not the site's.

It stayed up through quite a bit of spam. It did get really slow, but it didn't go down that i saw. Hopefully it won't be going down at all anymore.

It didn't go down for me either. I just thought it might. It does seem to be running faster now than it was before the thread's creation.
