Ditch Fahrenheit

And I KNOW we're not the only ones having this problem. There used to be 3 times this much traffic here 6 months ago at 8 AM PST.

Ok, new panel in 1 hour. (Assuming I can even access this website. )

More time-outs over the last hour. And when a page does load it's all screwed up. Here's what I was seeing earlier... Time-outs on desktop. Time-outs on iPhone. Two examples of what it looks like when I actually do get through. Ookla Speed Test at the time of the time-outs (through Wi-Fi)

I'm having similar issues. Time at the bottom is fine once it finally loads though- which is odd. It seems to have picked up now though. Same deal here. Times out 4-5 times in a row, then eventually opens after 30-45 seconds but shows less than a second delay at the bottom of the screen. Then more time-outs. And yes, now it seems to be improving.

This website. I've been trying to post here for the last hour. I seriously doubt I could put a pic up. I'll be back later when things speed up to early dial-up speed.

Nothing but time-outs this morning for the last 45 minutes. This is the first time after constant trying that I was able to get on, but I'm still having major problems. Tried cell phone...same thing. Any other website, on either desktop or smart phone, no problem whatsoever. I'll put up screen shots later from both.

Quitters.

Expansion 1

Panel expansion coming in 5 minutes. I probably should have waited to start this until morning for the East Coasters, so I'll stop giving hints/expansions after this one. If it isn't solved by tomorrow morning, I'll give an hour heads up before the next clue.

Panel Me This! Round 1 1) All are welcome. If you can find this thread, you can play. 2) First person to identify the comic book by time-stamped post in this thread wins the round. As usual, we are pretty casual about exact names, misspellings, etc. 3) This round is worth 5 Points. 4) Hints and additional panels will be given as necessary until solved. 5) You may guess as many times as you like. 6) Have fun. Stupid comments, unrelated gifs and memes, teasing, and the usual nonsense are strongly encouraged.

I think you'll do fine. I'm actually curious to see how this plays out. We may see some new players that are extremely strong in this area.

The new game will be called.... (drum roll) Panel Me This! Round 1 coming in 30 minutes.

In the immortal words of Arch, "Um....No."

I put the music game on hold. I have the first round video completed, but I'm not sure if there's enough interest to justify it - it's a lot of work. Anyway, there's a new game coming. This particular game will favor collectors who have read the book, since it will start off with an interior panel and expand from there. I'll add hints as well. I'll try to kick this off later tonight. I'll give the usual warning. Oh, as you might imagine, this game will be much more difficult than games featuring the cover, so it makes sense that it should be worth more. I'm going with +5 points this time. If it looks like it takes days of hints and photos to solve, I may make it +10 points.

Ever buy so many books you forget what you bought? I was cleaning the other day and found an eBay shipment I had completely forgotten about. I had placed it on top of a short box in the back of a shelving unit - visually hidden. Turns out I've had it since February and never opened it. Anyway, decided to open it today and noticed a different kind of packaging - at least, this is the first time I've ever received one in the mail. Pretty good design. Check it out...

Evidently, the coinees have their share of wackos too.
