    Yesterday, I was refreshing the forum for the Astros thread and I think the forum locked me out. So I waited a bit and tried again and again to no avail. I was wondering, how long does the forum lock you out? If the forum locks me out for 30 minutes, I feel like I was trying every 29th minutes and getting locked out again.

    I don't think there is such thing as a "lock out". The BBS was just down last night and didn't come back online until this morning.

    If a coach needs to regroup, he will call a 20-second time out. That's funny, because the first time I heard that, I thought Worrell had said "22nd time out"... I was all "22nd??!?!?! How many timeouts do we get? WOW. More than 20, huh?"

    Or, there are full timeouts which are 60 seconds. The rules are available from nba . com .

    ;)

    Oh I see. I've had the lockout happen to me quite a few times. Must be because of them 'Stros lately. It's weird cuz the main site still works, but the forum doesn't.

    Anyway, thanks swoly for clearing up my 'other' question.
