Remember the old message board that lots of people participated in called RPLS.com?
It was killed almost a year ago.

Lest we forget them changing their magazine as well, I guess RPLS stands for Real People Like Scanners or something like that. At least there is BeerLeg!:-)

I have nothing against the old site (although it was a little more impersonal and there was more trolling). I just couldn't access it with my dial-up. Toooo sloooow.

No you don't, you visit another site that they have named RPLS.com. You are sadly mistaken.

I've never been personally attacked on this site. Not saying it couldn't happen, but I had been numerous times attacked at the RPLS site and gave up going there. Things have always seemed much nicer and professional here.

I've always been somewhat confused by the Alexa rankings. I maintain two different websites, and the Alexa rankings for the sites have moved in ways that make no sense, based on my own logs of site traffic. It's really made me wonder how they come up with their numbers.

I don't believe their load time numbers. On dial-up RPLS takes umpteen times as long as SurveyorConnect.

I agree. Something looks catawampus to me.

I grew up hearing it was Cadywampus or Catywampus. I have been using it more lately too. 🙂

This is a message board for professionals. I just think it’s appropriate to use precise technical terms such as umpteen and catawampus in such a forum.
