Now that's ironic for sure - especially considering it is supposed to be this one!

WTF, this is like having dial up.

This is funny. There are Two completely different threads going now and both are just problems with the site. I wish I could piss off this many of my customers from poor inadequate service and still be in business. That would make business so easy.

Dial up is faster :party-smiley-004:

Actually there are four threads, five if you include this one. Go to the first post of this thread to see the list :drink:

Someone should start

www.offshoreonly2.com


Make it identical to this site and make it free membership for a year for all current oso members. Have all the same features, such as the classified section. Also advertise the site. Then after a year your buisness will be rockin n rollin. OSO will be a distant memory.

OSO2


Sry to be harsh but there should be some correspondance from IB to its members

A large number of OSO members have already jumped from the sinking ship and gone over to BoatFreaks.org. Take a look and see all the familiar names over there.

It's already been done. It's called Speedwake. Why do you think they've changed their name so many times?

Wow guess IB should have listen to Steve and kept me for advertising, I never had problems with banners and advertisers.... Kilo if you want me to upload the correct banner, I still have access to the banner manager, I will post in right now...

TSPM already had it out with them!!! :eek:

I am now actively involved in getting all the items resolved even though it is not my responsibility any more.

Dave you can send me that banner and I will get it uploaded and make sure the expiration of your campaign is extended for the appropriate time.

Please anyone feel free to PM with me with problems so I can see if I can help.

Steve

You forgot the part about spending a boatload of money (sorry, couldn't resist) to purchase said business...

Maybe this is some new business model we haven't heard of? :rolleyes:
I know a lot of folks are saying they are done here,
but I gotta believe most of that is said in frustration... we all get yanked off by slow sites...
but won't there come a point when it becomes broken beyond repair? when nothing said or done can make it right?

I wonder if the people in charge at IB are aware of what is happening here?

China House is on the way w/ tonights food :) LOL

I've sent you a PM about your ad. Looking forward to resolving the issue.

SoCalH20Fan (Internet Brands)

How about a sticky post here in the GD introducing everyone from IB and their responsibilities?

it will all change by morning so why bother:rolleyes:

Please see swap shop thread peeps

Tb???????
 

or a late night run to Taco Bell????

no the strippers aren't around lol

This is really starting to piss me off.

I`ve tried 4 times to download some pics in UC section of my wife in (and out of) her new thong. I really think you guys would like to see them.

dont be a quiter...

get er done......:evilb::evilb:

I have been testing the pic posting problem and working closely with IB today trying to get all the problems resolved, I tested the pics and they seem to be working, is this not the case?

Please PM me directly if needed.

Steve

Good to see you back at the helm Steve. The lack of communication and/or concern with Internet Brands on all the sites problems have really upset many members here. So much so that "another boating site" membership has increased significantly. I'm still questioning how many OSO members will renew after all the recent crap.

I'm on the fence right now. I love this place, but if IB wont properly maintain/manage the site, it will continue to push members to other sites.

Welcome, seems to be working now. Frustrating as heck when doing a major post with quotes, pics, etc. and it gets blown off when going to post two or three times in a row. Also, why with all the traffic and threads over the 4 or 5 day period, no response at all? Did everyone take a long weekend with no concern whatsoever for the site and its members?

Ditto....this site was Steve's life and he was available nearly 24-7 (which is probably part of the reason he had to get away)....for IB, this site is just a task as part of a 9-5 job and unfortunately they work at it like government workers.

.....and where they live.:eek:

This is very true.

IB recently changed to new servers from the old OSO servers. I can tell you from experience there is a learning curve involved, therefore the problems that they have been experiencing.

Its better way better, But the damage is done its been going down hill for months and this past week hit bottom. I can only speak for myself when I say that I feel its over, people leaving , boreing stupid threads (when you can post) ie: TD, and all the Beak adds and B.S. I fear way worse in days ahead.

but if you piss people off and they do go somewhere else....they might find out that there isn't a reason to keep paying to be here when they like the other sight as well or better than this one...and heve no membership fees....

Here's a problem that's been on the site for a really long time....

If you use "Post Quick Reply" at the bottom of the screen you can't attach a picture, it gives an "Error on page" at the bottom of the screen. You then have to click on the "Go Advanced" button or the regular "Post Reply button.

I see on the other site advertisers are starting to walk away from OSO and taking their checkbook with them.

What is "the other site" ?

They must mean b o a t f r e a k s . o r g

Thanks. This is exactly what i experienced and with your direction i learned how it works. My question to OSO... What couldn't you tell me this rather then tell me that I was doing something wrong.

I'll keep using this site to get my money worth, however I won't be renewing. It pretty bad when I have to learn how to deal with this sites issues through other members. I guess it was easier for your tech support to tell me what i was doing wrong. rather then find the true problem.

I really like this site, but without the people in the know and the big posters then its worthless. Don't let the site fail, because once they leave there goes your site.
