I shouldn't have reversed it. I should have let him have the 1 hour ban so he could miss some of the fun of this thread.

there was no significant change in traffic, but all the people sitting in the thread using the livetopic ajax update thing overloaded the server, so i had to lower the refresh interval

I'm safe. You'll need to break into NVIDIA plaza, into Jensen's office, look into the shoebox under his desk where he hides some soothing toys to find three GTX 480 cards to SLI.
