Nooooo! I've been to a Star Trek con and a Tolkien con and they were a lot worse than the standard generalised SF&F cons or filk cons. The single theme cons can be pretty wearing to everyone except obsessed fans of that one particular subject. At least Tolkien-themed cons cover a broad area and generally have superb filk!

But a few months ago when someone in the forum mentioned Homestuck I looked it up, and can't even imagine basing a con around it. Doing that to SSSS - no. Just no.

m'not sure, actually. I think I discussed what classes/aspects the characters would be in a private chat with a non-forumite, but I don't remember any of it haha.

Do I even want to know what this is?
The troll species in homestuck have more complicated romance systems than humans, they're called quadrants and symbolized with card symbols (heart, clubs, I dont remember what the other two are called), which makes for more varied and weird shipping haha

Does anyone mind if we, like, re-start 2016 or something? Because I think we need a re-do.

So apparently we broke the comic site. Minnatweet: 1 minute ago
Well then, just got an email from my host. Turns out there's been too much traffic today and they had to shut down my site temporarily? :/

I think that's a first and worth celebrating :D
I hope we're not turning into homestuck here o________o
This reminds me of a discussion on the chat about that the updatechecker (why, yes of course we have an auto F5-er) checks for a new page too slowly, apparently an other one that has been made for this "Homestuck" checked every 0.5 secs...

Well nooo, every 1 minute is about fine. ::)

Edit: Wooo page 900

I have a solid state drive in my laptop and it works really well...
I have a 250 GB SSD and 4 TB HDD on my desktop...

Thank's much you two!  Feartheviolas, the article was very informative, and both your experience and Nietos' seem to confirm what I've been reading.  Will probably buy a new hard drive today, especially an SSD if possible.
