Site will be down for a few minutes tonight

[Andrew]

Law School Discussion will be taken offline tonight for server maintenance.  It should only be 20 minutes - but you never know.  Just a warning.

Thanks for the heads up.  How much money are you making off that "higher lsat score guaranteed" kaplan ad?

[Andrew]

It will depend on how many people click it and then sign up for Kaplan.  It's just an experiment right now - probably going to implement a sophisticated ad system to control that space.  I hope it's not too annoying.  Is it too annoying?

[superiorlobe]

No, its not too bad.  This site is a lot less annoying regarding ads than other sites.  I think one well-placed ad is very legitimate.  Reminds me of the drudge report, which only uses one prominent ad.

i didn't even notice it. it's a kajillion times less annoying then the moving up banner with the different sized chairs 

[Andrew]

Yeah - the chairs were a big (indeed!) experiment.  I didn't realize so many people still had smaller screen resolutions - and that was creating a horizontal scroll.  Thus, the new ad space is small so as to fit everyone's screen.

That Kaplan ad is the original standard banner size, which, at the time of its invention, went almost all the way across the viewer's screen.

What are we going to do without LSD for 20 minutes?  I'm twitching from withdrawals already 

[Andrew]

I think the 20 minutes should have already happened - but maybe it's tonight (Tuesday).  I'm never really sure when people say something like "Tuesday at 12:00 AM".  In any social situation that would clearly mean Tuesday night, but in police reports and tech speak that probably means Monday night.

TDPookie1, have a chill pill and relax.  Here's have an E-pill on me.   

[TDPookie1]

Oh, I didn't even look to see when you posted your message.  

And thanks, sparky   It wouldn't be so bad if LSD went down for a while so I could concentrate on my apps
