Have not been online about 6 days, and now ... the performance is fast! Much faster as it was!

gogul: Thanks. For those, who want to discuss normal things without negative emotions, there was a hardware failure on one of the hard disks and since the replacement and data restoration is not an easy process (especially on weekends), BrainKing has been temporarily moved to the backup server which is, of course, much slower and more overloaded. But everything is switched back to the former configuration now.

Oh yes, he doesn't need to.

Jules: Well I am still trying to work out which one's are the annoying complaints and which aren't. Recently all the complaints have been the same. Site crash follows crash follows slow load after no load. They are all exactly the same. So why is it annoying when one person says it and yet not annoying when another says exactly the same thing. And why get so indignant and sarcastic with people when all they want is a valid explanation???

Subject: Re:
TarantinoFan: its annoying that the site isnt accessable ... its not annoying when its mention on a board and brought to fencers attention ... it doesnt have to be brought to his attention by everyone though .. one or 2 posts mentioning it would be enough ..

if worded as if to mention it to him, you might get a response, if worded with an attack/insult/.. in the post as well .. then its likely to be ignored or sarcastically answered

i think its always best to post a building non-destructive message, that way there will be a faster response and better response as well

usually the site can be accessed perfectly by me, but not this weekend (i was away for 4 days, came back on sunday, and the connection to the site was a mess) .. this was caused by a failing harddisk though which shouldnt happen too often :)

Subject: Re:
Hrqls: Well my feeling is that so many people post the notice in the hope that many voices will be heard because lately it feels like no-one is being heard. The service for the site over the past few weeks has been absolutely terrible and people don't know from one day to the next if they are going to be able to access the site or not.

And as for insults and attacks and non-destructive messages then you best aim your comments at one of the worst offenders. Someone comes in to offer a little positive feedback and he still can't resist a dig in response.

I say again. Pot calling the kettle black!

Subject: Re:
TarantinoFan: Hardly slow here not even when people have been complaining, and if it is there is always the option of doing something else.

I think it's the expectation that Fencer should drop everything just to answer questions to which the answer is obvious and the indignation of peeps who don't get the reply.

.. He's trying to fix things, if he keeps having to answer every time someone posts it'll delay the fixing. Quite frankly I'd rather have him sort out the problems.

Subject: Re:
Jules: I don't think people have the expectation that he should drop everything and answer each question individually. The problem is that he mostly gives no information at all or as seen in my case earlier (Keep Trying) he gives totally inane responses that are so unhelpful they become frustrating.

If he posted a short succinct explanation that probably took him 30 seconds to compose and post then most people would be ok and he wouldn't have to deal with the so called "constant annoying complaints". And if there was the occasional complaint after his post I am sure others who had already read his explanation would update those who missed it therefore leaving him available to do what he needs to do.

TarantinoFan: He (Fencer) needs to learn to treat people equal.  Even if we are not as computer smart as Mad Monkey or Coan, our



money are as much worth as theirs.
