Fun reading.

No less than 6 high level tech jobs including Unix sys admin listed for IB over on Dice. (Tech site.)

There is NO WAY that I can post topless pics of the Claymates in this slow environment! :(

OSO.... open 12pm -6pm 5 days a week!

Any update now on this site that "you love"?

site is running fine for me, are you all still having problems?

testing testing 123

when I post it takes a while for the post to show but browsing is normal speed

That is just not right Clayman!!!!!!:angry-smiley-038:

its very slow from time to time....

Running fine for me right now, but it's been that way every afternoon / evening for a week.

Every morning, different story. Either VERY slow, totally down, or a database error every 2 minutes.

EDIT: It took several minutes to get this reply up.

Couldn't even get in yesterday morning.
Browsing is normal now, but yes, taking a long time to refresh and upload a post.

LMFAO!!! Great idea!

Try it in the mornings between 6 a.m. and noon .... its no fun ... definitely not relaxing


Disclaimer .... it may be bad for others before that time but thats how early I get up :D

Maybe IB can hire someone to jiggle the plug on OSO's server between 6 and noon. :evilb:

Still can't back up from any of the sub forums into the main index without it giving a "database error" and forcing a reload.

its a MESS NOT GOING TO RESIGN UP:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

Lets give the man the tools he needs to do his job alright already !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :drink:

I am pretty sure that this used to be Packin's job back in the Ft. Lauderdale Kato days. :D

Holy $hit! It's Currently 9:00am And The Site Is Working Flawlessly!!!!! :)

packing the poop is like oso steves kato.... oh and im very sure hed drop a dime on steve if it would further his career...

thats packing the poops way......

has it been better in the mornings? i have stopped attempting to even browse. it was like our 12 yr old daughter, it wouldnt show any life until sometime after 10a.

It was better this morning. Last week I gave up trying to get on this site before noon.

Spoke too soon, took over a minute for that post to show up but browsing seems to be normal.

It seems a bit better today but the speed comes and goes. There are times like this weekend you could not even log onto the site....it would time out and not load. Browsing is slower than it used to be as well as picture loading.

OK the post above took 65 seconds to complete......it was always instant in the past.....FYI

Members of OSO,

As you have noted, the site performance issues still haven't been resolved. The tech team is still working on them. I know that this is a very frustrating situation and appreciate your continuing patience.

thank you,
Internet Brands

Can the tech team tell us what happened to the Concept forum? - After they're done with the performance issues, of course?:rolleyes:

OUCH!!!

Poke the bear... = *POOF*

Fvck the bear.

Typical tech-talk...."the migration will take 2-3 days" turns into 2-3 weeks which turns into 2-3 months. It took 15 minutes to even get into the site this morning & this is my first post of the day, so who knows how long it will take to upload. If this is not fixed before my renewal date, I will not be sending my money in.

I still have an error message across the top of the screen and between pages

still slow after posting more than once and have to double click to get it to move:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:this is week 2

after 2 weeks of this.. thats what you have for us...

gotta do better than that meat!!!!!!!!!!:angry-smiley-038::angry-smiley-038:

this place is starting to go to chit!!

Unbelievable...:mad:

It's spotty for me. The big problem is it's hard to participate, share/gather information. I've seen several threads that I wanted to contribute to but as most of us, time is precious, pages don't load and you just skip it.

If things do not get resolved and soon, membership will drop like a rock, current advertisers will go away and potential advertisers will look elsewhere to spend their advertising $$$

Kurt

O.K. I thought it was my computer causing the issues but I guess not.....too slow........won't be long now b/4 people start to leave

Saw a report today that internet advertising sales industry-wide just suffered the first negative growth quarter after a run of 13 quarters of sales growth. So... the pie is shrinking without regard to any particular forum monopoly consolidators and their technical troubles.

starting to see avatars disappear. There's still value to be had in The Bilge and UC for us that already know what's there. I bet it's a harder sell to newcomers.
