Help me understand what the deal is with the SDC Forum.
Is it down again? What's the problem, Bob?

1) The site is run on a server based in the webmaster's house that does not have any redundancy (power, drives, access to the internet, etc.).
2) I believe the program used to host the forum is Freeware (you get what you pay for).
3) There is no log noting outages and the cause and very little notice for scheduled maintenance.
4) Webmaster brings the site down for maintenance when it's convenient for him, not his customers.
5) Webmaster ignores any help and suggestions from people who do this type of work for a living.
6) The SDC only pays $600/mo. to do the job, which also must cover any/all expenses incurred by the webmaster... virtually eliminating anybody with any type of networking skills from applying for the job.
7) Nobody complains, and when they do they get their ass chewed by the webmaster's buddies... who will then pat him on the back for doing a fine job when it comes back up.
That's just off the top of my head... other than that everything is fine.

Lee, you know darn well that people have complained many times. There have been 8 threads here about Forum problems. There have been threads on the Forum, and I posted on another today. I've emailed Bob personally when there are problems. If you want to put Bob down, at least get the facts right.
Please correct me where I'm wrong. Because from what I've been told and know nothing I stated is untrue. So "zoombot" tell me where my facts are incorrect.

Don't bait me! You can read the forum yourself and see the threads now.
In other words, you're disagreeing with me but can't dispute any of my comments.
Where are these threads discussing the recent outages? Because I don't see any.

I am numb to all of this... But... If you have spoken to Bob via e-mail about a problem on 'that' forum, why are you asking about it on 'this' forum? That makes no sense to me, but I am stupid, and have no idea what is important in life .. Jeff
, but I am stupid, and have no idea what is
Hey! I like 'em big and stupid. But ya need to work on the big part before we meet again
