This contest was from last year.... did it reopen and I missed that post? I would have figured if Oleg started a new contest it would have been started in a completely new thread.

No new contest yet... I hope one starts soon.
It is a good motivation to get some projects done when I look through the categories and remember stuff that either needs makin' or fixin'.Quote:

I am waiting for my 255ext to start some new projects. It would be nice to be able to include old ones if they are large in size. One of my projects is a huge project that takes a ton of time.
I'm sorta in a rut too, I'm not doing much welding at the moment, so don't have much to post about. Plus, the forum doesn't load pages for me about 95% of the time so I pretty much gave up trying to even be a lurker.
It sure seems like that. Time to figure out a few new projects for the next one, though.Quote:

I was going to say that the slow loading of the forum has been gone for a little while now.Quote:

I must be pretty lucky. I've only experienced infrequent timeouts - maybe once every three to four weeks.
I was lucky to get a page to fully load that often from Feb to Apr. Since everybody else was still posting, I thought it might have just been me. Sure seems to be working a lot better now though.Quote:
