    youre funny.

    if you dont like it, then why are you posting here?

    seriously, youd have to be some fcuking moron to not like a site and continue to use it.





    are you a fcuking moron?

    I for one can understand why the OP is frustrated at the moment. Every other link I click, I get a database error. Every other private message I click to read (or to send), I also get a database error. Other (busy) web forums do not have these problems. To call on boards.ie to close down is too ridiculous to even start discussing though...

    I have to agree. I'm a subscriber so none of you need bother coming at me with the "How can you complain about something that's free routine"! I'm happy to subscribe, Boards is a fantastic site and well worth the subscriber fee. I do intend to keep my subscription too. (By the way Davey, The Recliner is also a subscriber so get down off your bloody high horse there! :rolleyes:)

    But recently it's been extremely frustrating. Constant time out's or database errors. What's going on? How long is it likely to continue? Is there specific work that's going on?

    PS. I just got Database error while posting! Extremely annoying! :mad:

    Yeah, OP I understand your frustration too but I think it's just the way you're addressing it that's resulting in such hostility here.

    I guarantee your the type of "Customer," who calls every provider you have, simply outraged, that your broadband/mobile/ISP/septic tank etc has had a blip, or as you might put it, "A complete outage"

    I'd imagine you demand all manners of supervisors and are frequently,"Outraged beyond belief," and probably have uttered the phrase "I DEMAND COMPENSATION," a few times.

    Thing is you pay for these services, and as a customer can change if you'd like.
    You pay nothing to Boards, have no consumer rights.

    But as others have pointed out, you can indeed move, post elsewhere if you so choose.

    This is more than just a "blip" - there's no need for attacking the OP just because this is Feedback (a lot of people seem to have the attitude of "oh yay, someone started a thread in Feedback. Must... go... there... to... attack/ridicule".
    However OP, obviously this is nobody's fault and it's being worked on. Not good form to be getting cranky about it.

    eH, YES, they do. I'm member of some other similarly sized forums and they've all given me the "please be pateint while we try to sort out the problem" line at some point or another.

    This only about the second or third time I rememebr boards having a problem in two and a bit years. Decent average, I'd say.

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    In fairness the first year or two I used boards, problems were rare and isolated; recently it seems to be getting worse and worse as the months go by so I wouldn't think it is accurate to describe this as a super rare occurrence.

    Not complaining by the way, but I do feel it has gotten worse continuously.

    Exactly! It's not a "once every 8 months occurence". It's been happening more frequently recently.

    Boards has had very few issues in the first 20 or so months I've used it. But the last 3/4 months I've noticed more and more time outs and it going down more often. It is frustrating. Maybe there is something going on in the background. It would be nice to know that there was and the amount of time (estimated even) we're going to have issues for though.
