I have this bad feeling that we will have to migrate to CFC in the first days after Civ3 is out(tomoorow  ). The number of the visitors will only increase and i'm not sure whether there is a an immediate solution for this problem.
Btw, please visit this thread.

581 (many frustrated) an hour after the OT is locked.
To the moon fellows!
But it may not have been OT that overwhelmed the system. There was a huge flock in the civ3 forum checking buzz about civ3 having shipped. You may have to lock civ3 over the weekend.

We will do the best we can at CFC, but Apolyton is larger and better equiped to handle the overflow than we are.
I'm sure things will calm down soon.

Faboba- You CAN be logged on as 2 users if you open two windows- I know that for a fact. I have tried it numerous times.

Actually, DarkCloud is my DL. Gives me cover to post all sorts of weird forum stats.
And again, why "smurfing"?

Not by me, I must have missed that skit. Smurf, Smurfing, Smurf It, Bullsmurf, etc, are just my all purpose replacements for offensive exclamations.

That was the point of my post, saying something deliberately "idiotic" for humour value.
Given DC's comments, It seems that it was not as idiotic as I thought though.

BC- Don't worry, my computer-like tendencies ruin many jokes.
And no, I have not yet tried this on Apolyton- I have, however used it on other, legitimate, non DL loving forums... (In addition, I am working on trying to mask my IP ) I was planning to on April 1st, however, and seeing how long it would take for Mark and Dan to ban me... then I decided that I might not want to be banned for a month- the entire plan involved about 2 DL's and several curse words, various funposts, mass confusion, three computers, etc.

If it was a skit, it borrowed from the pre-existing culture.
Smurfs have been smurfing smurfy smurfs by smurfing them with 'smurf' since the Smurfs first smurfed out.

Of course, I could not resist- this way it will be all the more amusing next April 1st ... I didn't do it last year because I did not wish to become banned days before my birthday
... Besides, this thread will be long forgotten by April 1st
