This is an announcement from the Department of Useless Facts.

No such thing as a useless fact. It can always be added to the trivia bank.

Guys, I've been getting some complaints from users who are experiencing disruptions in their browsing experience due to a flood of posts, mostly in the photo-sharing sections. While I'm excited by the enthusiasm and increased level of participation, I'd like to ask everyone to refrain from posting just to raise that progress bar

"Brute forcing" the counter is definitely not in the spirit of the giveaway, and while it hadn't been an issue in prior months, I may add a cap on spikes in activity if we continue receiving such feedback.

I don't understand

does anyone ??

" Brute forcing "

" spikes in activities "

at least I think " Bacon " " BBQ " and " Bagpipes " are still safe posts

I posted a photo a few minutes ago. I got a response to it, and thanked the person responding.

But I got this message when I sent the response:

"You have made too many posts in this forum within the past 24 hours to be able to bump more old threads. Please try again later or pick a newer thread."

It wasn't an old thread - the thread was a few minutes old. I was able to post, but not to respond to any posts. Why is that?

Yes, certain things shouldn't be cooked with bacon grease

That's just an optical illusion

I do not know how this surprises him. When you ask for volume to raffle off a camera and two months running we only got the K-1, then there is going to be a concerted effort to better the post count in the final month for the "other" camera. That cannot be done through regular posting so guess what.

Sorry

I certainly don't understand. Just now, as my first post since getting up, I was prevented from responding to a post that wasn't within sight when I left ten hours earlier. Granted, someone else had "forced" it up while I slept, but it is on page 3 with recent responses. Maybe I should just go off and eat some BACON and forget this place for awhile

I plan on doing just that. In an hour or so, I will be packing up the car, leaving electronics (other than my camera) behind, and heading camping for the weekend.
