Thanks for the clarification, Magiarn. You're right about it being a much more controlled environment in the fact it's not an extended mile long WOT, bangin gears, thrashing of a car.
I was fortunate enough/unfortunate enough to attend an all day (10hr long) dyno session on a 540ci big block Chev with a procharger, and N20. We went through over 20 gallons of 116oct race gas mix. Heh, that engine is definately worse for wear in my book, LOL.
rue, this particular board is running the message forums on a temporary dual processor server, and the connection is controlled with a fractional T3. The initial period of being very slow and unresponsive was due to the normal single processor box being overloaded, and a queue forming, and later when the boxes were being switched out. I haven't noticed any problems since the dual processor box has been placed. Locking the thread wouldn't slow the number of hits it was getting as most people are not posting, just viewing. If the board was still unable to keep up, I'd agree with the topic being cut off, but as long as it seems responsive, I don't see the need for it to be shut down.
I would also agree, as I posted on the "infamous comment" thread, that this board hasn't had it's reputation dirtied by these events. I think the vast majority of our normal users have ripped stangman96 a new one. I think this has been a great thread, and certainly worthy of being kept open. Take a look at the group of enthusiasts who've come together!
Has anybody linked Ford SVT to this thread? With nearly 200,000 views, I'd think they might be interested in something of this magnitude.
Amazing!
