Just spent 20 frustrating minutes trying to work my way through making three posts, it's supposed to be fun not painful. Site is simply unattended as far as routine and necessary "maintainence" to keep it fully functioning.

It seems that its simply a hardware issue. Their BB cant handle the high traffic that comes along with an event such as this, and crashes. They should invest in a more powerful server, but I am not sure if that is even one of their priorities. Trying to get an answer out of an admin is like pulling teeth over there.

Not to say that I dont appriciate the board or enjoy visiting it, but it does get rather annoying when it consistantly goes down during the thick of things.

Ah well, as long as the semi-professional and professional mets continue posting there, it will reign as #1.

I'm starting to get sick of WWBBs nonsense.

I like the board and all, but it goes down at the worst times, and they say how its been fixed and junk when it runs fine but then when its crashing they leave all the posters wondering and waiting 10 minutes to open a page, only to hear a post, "had a problem, slowly working on it."

This board is probably better than I would have thought just a few days ago.

The thing is, it's this slow for a clipper type low! Imagine if there's early week MECS. Good God...

WWBB is like the sultry unfaithful girlfriend on heroin who gets you hooked on multiple aspects, brings everything down, promises to fix things and keep things straight, and then crashes and burns again, and again.

Not saying I'm going to be some kind of thought police.. but at least keeping people civil with each other.. there are always disagreements in wx.. but hell, you don't have to start the name calling!


Once again WELCOME TO STORM2K!!! POST AWAY!!! We have no thought police here either, just like a calmer atmosphere.

BUT, just as we do not like our site being bashed, here or elsewhere, neither does WW. PLEASE TAKE THE COMPLAINING AND BASHING PRIVATE AND DISCUSS WEATHER ON THE PUBLIC FORUMS!!!
