Horseplop's Booming Popularity!
« on: August 01, 2025, 06:17:41 PM »
Just yesterday "Most Online Ever: 3594 (July 31, 2025, 05:28:37 PM)"

This place has gone insane!  ngc3

I was looking at what some of these "Guests" who make up the majority of those on the site.

Someone was looking at a thread of a 2019 Batavia program.

11 were looking at an insignificant sporting event from 2024.

3 looking at George Brennan's 12000 milestone win.

If this shit was real I'd be happy as a clam for the site owners and y'all, but seriously soon we'll have more people than the entire harness and t-bred population combined, maybe more than the world, so who are all these "Guests", aliens from another galaxy - interested in our old news and obituaries of people whose own family forgot who they were if they even remember them at all?   ;D

We are run with the single goal of serving the harness racing community.

We've always enjoyed an exceptionally positive reception by virtually  everyone.

Take a look at the "All Time Most Viewed" topics.

I won't spoil it for you but it just amazes me -- and this is just one random sample --  that the White Trash Mike topic has been viewed over 160,000 times.

We'll be blazing tomorrow. And, of course, our team will be working hard  to keep all the hamsters on their wheels so everyone can enjoy the site on our sport's biggest day.

Now that is a joke.  According to most of harness racing this site is the Mos Eisley of the industry.

Your confusing hate and popularity, at times they are not mutually exclusive.

WNBC execs who wanted to kick Howard Stern off the air.

So they ran his ratings with those hopes.

His most die hard listeners, listened less than half the time of his die hard haters.

Why?

"They wanted to hear what he was going to say next."

Would be horrible if some psycho out of revenge chose tomorrow to throw a packet flood at the site. From what I've heard it's based from an offshore server with minimal to no security. Gosh darn it would be so easy for someone to stress it to the point of crashing...

Makes sense.

The site crashed a half dozen times this week, operating slow several dozen, I was thinking the increased volume too, but you explaining the technical simply.

Yeah, I've "heard" there are ways to use software that is designed to stress test a site as to how much traffic it can withstand. I've also "heard" that using that same software to its extreme can completely crash a site too. It's called "packet flooding". Or so I've heard.  ngc3

P.S. I'd like to make it clear I in no way condone such shenanigans. Just sayin'  tmbz1

You made a significant contribution obviously to the site's popularity.

Different people, different groups, different times but you're integral.

There are some decent people here. I don't think it would be fair to them if somebody chose tomorrow to make their point. Revenge is a dish best served cold...

This is why you are nominated to the Plops Hall of Fame.  tmbz1

Or your meds kicked in.  ngc3

Our security team has things tight AF.

You still never explained why Kole Hanover had a two year infatuation with you. Do tell...
As for your "security", about as tight as a $2 whore.  ngc3

And you are failing to notice this site has zero advertising. Views mean absolutely northing. There is some good information and discussion here but to most of harness racing it is known for all the crap posted here. This site needs to learn as a private site it can delete posts it deems cross the line and it can delete the personal attacks.

Yes the site has been slow as most of the horses I have wagered on  recently. I hope I fall into the "decent " category in Mike's eyes. He has been eerily quiet on here recently so I think the shit is about to hit the fan. I appreciate him doing the research and going after the cheats. It's one of the main reasons my family and I got out of ownership.

You're the bitching, moaning, complaining asshole that complained for days straight how come the people who actually mean something here, long term members can heaven forbid post non related shit in harness.  The day that LUCPARK warned you to stfu  ngc3, maybe you need another warning from a child's high chair telling everyone what to do! 

How's that working genius?!

You don't have 5 fucking cents in your pocket, dumb as a rock but are all advice no quit!   ;D

You are the one who had to resort to insults. If this website would remove the garbage and keep the the stuff with value, it might be taken seriously. It is not now except the people who post here.
