What does TTL stand for in this context?

It's the normal DNS Time-To-Live:

Iceland's servers have to host the records, so low TTLs would increase their traffic and therefore load.

@ChuckN : FYI, you have been hellbanned for the past ~2 years. Your comments are automatically marked [dead] and hidden.

Looking through his comments after reading your comment feels just like watching the Sixth Sense. Has ChuckN really been commenting for the past two years without knowing nobody can see him (well except for the few that enable showdead)?

And now, maybe today, ChuckN will read your comment, the first person to acknowledge him after so long, and he will playback the last 2 years of his HN involvement in a montage in his head as all of the pieces start to come together ... why does no one respond to my comments? why do my comments always get downvoted? could it be true? am I really... dead?

This is quite a remarkable story actually.

Well, that just makes me want to see them. How do I do that?

Turn on 'showdead' in your profile.

timezones ... thx for responding about TTL. About the only thing I'd add is that it needs to be set to 24h whereas most others will accept lower values.
