WTH.... Stop that, you making my brain hurt, just after I had switched it off for a couple of weeks you go and jump start it again.
Now I have to go drink more beer and it's all your fault.

A second is a second, however ones perception of a second is variable based upon relativity and activity. In other words, quit watching the clock and go arrest someone and the day will go by quicker.

It's a way to separate a computer network into segments that can't talk to each other. Think of it kinda like a tackle box with multiple compartments. It's all one big box with dividers in between to keep the sections separate.

More specifically, it's taking a single IP address and using the subnet mask to split it up into multiple networks or hosts. The fun start with class A and Class B IP addresses. Class C is what most use with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0. Class B is 255.255.0.0 and class A is 255.0.0.0. Anywhere you see a 255, you can't change it, but you can change the others. Now, it's suggested to NOT have more than 500 networks on any given subnet (I think), but with A and B, you can have millions or over 16,000 respectively. But class C you can only have 254 because you can't use the first or last IP address of the sequence. Confused yet? I am lol. I'm sure I got something wrong up there, I'm just now trying to learn this stuff.

Oh my gosh, guys! Please don't take any offense to my next words....I am so sorry that I asked what subnetting was, lol. That is so very much beyond me and my mental capacity, lol. However, thank you for giving an explanation, even though I have no idea what you were talking about. We'll just say that "subnetting" is another reason that you are the forum owner and not me, lmao

That might be better, at least for you Tony.
Well this is my last day off till Tuesday and wednesday. I need to get out and actually do something, this is my 3rd consecutive weekend of just sitting on my backside doing nothing. In a way I like it but hate it too. Anyhow just wasting away and getting windows 7 setup in a vm, so far so good.

Unfortunately, everything that I'm learning, and gaba has passed, nothing will cross over to running a forum. A forum is more database administration, server administration, PHP and so on. Now, if I was to set up a hub here in Oklahoma, another one in texas, another one in Indiana and one in California, THEN this would all come into play because then I would need to network all of those hubs to a central server. But, RCH is no where near that big right now and I doubt will be any time soon. Only time will tell though.
