Wow, quite a cynical post. The simple fact is that the site isn’t performing as it should. I’m sure even Jim would agree this is true. You may be okay with FR choking at important moments, but some of us aren’t. Some of us remember when FR could handle the load. There’s a difference in being a supporter and being a cheerleader. Supporters want FR to live up to its mission. Cheerleaders shift blame when it doesn’t. I’d like to see FR succeed.
Wow, what a sensitive post. Since my post was not addressed specifically to you, are you self-identifying with its contents?
The simple fact is that the site isn’t performing as it should. I’m sure even Jim would agree this is true.
So you have identified site performance as a problem, and you're sure Jim would agree. Well, now that's a real revelation, especially since some posters are spending some significant time pointing it out over, and over, and over, ad nauseum.
And Jim has agreed numerous times in his posts that he knows that there are problems, and that he is working with John to correct them. (You could have included him in your address line, since you are referring to him).
You may be okay with FR choking at important moments, but some of us aren’t.
You don't have a clue what "I may be okay with".
Also, since you are referring to "some of us" while responding to my post to someone who said FR was "useless" and inferring that Jim was using the donated money for something other than running/fixing the site, I can only assume you are in agreement with that poster's assessment of Jim's credibility and honesty.
Some of us remember when FR could handle the load.
Oh please.
LOL, check my signup date noob.
I guess in your world, nothing ever changes (like the Internet technical and business operating environment, increase in the number of FR visitors between now and then, intermittent technical problems, Denial of Service attacks from within and external to the U.S., etc.).
There’s a difference in being a supporter and being a cheerleader. Supporters want FR to live up to its mission. Cheerleaders shift blame when it doesn’t. I’d like to see FR succeed.
Oh my, what blather.
I was curious who would respond to my post. I notice (happily) that it wasn't one of the posters who regularly try to suggest something technical to try to help Jim/John in analyzing the possible problems with FR.
As I suspected, it was someone who is apparently easily "offended" that anyone would point out that there are some people who have an axe to grind with Jim, and/or are just types who love to complain, complain, and then complain over again. On, and on, and on, posting and reposting their non-useful complaints until it is enough to gag a maggot.
LOL, I'm a cheerleader and you're a supporter -- LMAOROTF.
Well, Yardstick, regardless of your post, I'm still looking forward to your creation of your newer, faster, and better website. It will undoubtedly be marvelous, and I'm sure it will ONLY be filled with supporters who will sing your praises 24 hours a day, everyone will ride the unicorns, and there will be free skittles for all participants.
Oh yes, and since you undoubtedly took critical time away from your efforts to implement your newer, faster, better website, please don't waste any more of your valuable time responding to a lowly "cheerleader for FR".
Why, I'll probably sign up at your new site, to get that a lifetime membership and the 3 sets of stick-free cookware (not sold in stores, S&H extra).
