I'm sorry, but you are not an actual hamster, are you. Unless you are saying you identify as a neo-nazi rodent in real life, in which case you will make the quad-gender trans activists look positively sane.

You've read his posts... right?...
No....
Fair point.

now that's speciesism, just the kind of thing i'd expect from a human......

now that stings.....
indeed, i'm glad we could reach an understanding
Earlier today I saw someone wearing a badge that said, "I am whatever I say I am". Would you prefer it if I referred to you as a hamster and made copious hamster and rodent-related references when addressing you?

why would you need to constantly bring it up? i don't bring it up unless it's topically relevant, in this case pointing out the injustice of putting my people in wheels and forcing them to power things.
Well, where this is hamster-related relevance, of course. Which is in pretty much any situation. Lockdown [being in a cage would kind of be the norm for you], eating [peanuts, wood knaws], bedding [cotton wool, tissue, sawdust], drinking [chrome water bottle], etc lots of things have a different context and have to be reformulated to accommodate the fact that you identify as a Mesocricetus or whatever. I mean, God knows how you manage to post on the internet. If you identify as a hamster it's pretty hard to take you seriously on anything since, well, you're a hamster, and any views you have on said topic will be highly subjectified through dint of the fact that you're a rodent. How do you even type on a computer? Or assemble computer hardware? Do you squeak at people through Morse code to give them the relevant voltages for overclocking?
Why am I even having this conversation.

i don't live in a cage, i live in a house, fortunately you don't need a big house when your bathroom sink doubles as a swimming pool.
as for typing it's kind of like a game of twister only on a keyboard, was a lot worse before mechanical keyboards became mainstream as i really had to stamp hard on the keys to get them to register but cherrey red's are the perfect weight for me to walk on without accidentally setting it off.
pc building is easy, it's like an amish barn build only with fewer beards and more squeaking.

OK. Fine. I will be more hamster-minded when addressing you in the future. Thanks for the clarification.
I thought hamsters liked running in plastic wheels, anyway.

nope, it's the same for us as a treadmill in a gym is for you.

Add a few years, and I would be happy with a pre-2006 backup. Mozilla Firefox was (and still is) the browser of choice and YouTube was still around then, but not the cancer that would become social media i.e. Facebook, Twitter or Instagram.

The for the past week or so, I've had problems with the forums. Every time I try to visit I'm getting "your browser is being checked by Cloudflare" Sometimes it randomly does it whilst I'm in the middle of writing a post.
Today and yesterday, I'm mostly getting "Safari cannot connect to the server" hit and miss as to whether it works or not. Seems OCUK is no longer using the sub domain form.overclockers.co.uk so perhaps their 301 redirect isn't working correctly.

This drive me mad!
overclockers should sort this out! Other computer part companies never has any issues like this! Only OCUK.

I noticed today my speed dial for the OcUK forum stopped working as it was pointing to forums.overclockers.co.uk. I had to google OcUK forums and it's now changed to overclockers.co.uk/forums.

Discovered the same this morning, wondered if I misread the notice about address change from a few months back, www.overclockers.co.uk/forums works fine.

All it takes is a 301 redirect and the address problem is sorted
I'm guessing the forum is creating a lot of nice SEO juice that the owners want for the main domain, hence the move.

It's (most likely) not Cloudflare's fault. You're seeing something like this right?
Cloudflare is used for DDOS protection and load balancing etc. It generally works really well.
When you go to https://www.overclockers.co.uk/ your traffic is sent to Cloudflare's servers. Cloudflare then forward your request onto the origin server (the Overclockers server), grabs the response, then sends it back to you.
When it reports a 502 error Cloudflare are telling you that Overclocker's server is down, there's nothing they can do, it's not their problem to fix, but the person who runs the Overclockers server.
