Once again, it's time for the FNGT!

If you don't know how this works, . That link will take you to another site to give you some additional information and tell you about some of our off-site features. That's also the site where we will host the weekly guitar threads, should Poal go down.

NOTE: That site is by invitation only. If you want an invite, and you're a regular participant, then just ask theBuddha, or myself.

If you do know what's going on, you are most likely either new here or completely retarded, you probably don't need to click that link - but you may want to, to make sure you know of the other features, such as the archive or a separate forum that's invite only.

Remember, we are guests here on Poal. Let's act like it. If you're interested in supporting Poal, then .

Seems maybe someone doesn't want that site online

Or the owners are incompetent, fucking around, trying to make the site seem more important, inciting drama, etc...

I'd not jump right to blaming a third party, given the brief period the time was up and running. They didn't really have enough time/posts to piss off that many people.

(That's my thinking, at any rate. I could EASILY be wrong.)

Who knows. That was just a guess.

I finally broke down and installed an awesome browser extension, though I'm technically testing two different extensions in two different browsers, 'cause I want to see what's best for my needs.

I have, in just this browser, 99 open tabs. That's a whole lot of RAM being used for tabs I just keep open to have them handy.

So, I installed an extension that puts unused tabs to sleep. They load when I click on them, but are otherwise not resident in RAM. I can pick tabs to never get sent to sleep, like this one and a forum or two that I frequent.

I also installed another extension, one that doesn't let YouTube videos autoplay. I have a ton of YouTube tabs and they autoplay when they're opened, even if you just flipped through it. So, I found a working extension to stop YouTube videos from always playing.

My RAM use (and this computer has 64 GB of RAM, which you'd think was enough) dropped by 2/3rds.

I normally am of the opinion that 'unused RAM is wasted RAM', but I don't want to waste RAM on tabs I might open once every few months.

Anyhow, this freed up RAM for more useful things. I was getting sluggish behavior on a system with 64 GB of RAM!

I have another desktop that has 96 GB of RAM, but that one doesn't care how many tabs I have open.

I doubt we'll ever know the truth. They did register the domain name on August 24th and registered it for two years (you only need to register for a year). They also took the time to put it behind CloudFlare and use whois privacy settings.

It seems a bit odd to register it for twice as long as you must only to turn around and not use it for anything. But, then again, there are millions and millions of domain names that don't host anything.
