    I was able to defend myself and point out that this person is an Internet troll, but it was not a pleasant experience. It kind of left me rattled.


This board is troll resistant. \:\)

    While I'm here, though, is anyone else having problems with the board taking an especially long time to load? I selected the "20 entries" display, and it still takes as long as a full minute sometimes.


The database got rather large over the years, so I copied 2/3 of it over to the "archive" - which is still accessible via the Search feature, but doesn't interfere with the board indexing.

To make that less of a problem in the future (especially at Comicboards) I'm eventually planning to split the replies and threads into different tables. Every board is *most* replies, so there's no reason the indexer needs to be digging through them all just to get the threads. That's going to take a while to implement and make work, though.

And finally, there seems to be a DNS delay looking up mangacool.com. I'm hoping it's not because the domain is under attack like .net was. Either way it's beyond my reach until support figures it out.
