Help me understand what the deal is with the SDC Forum.

1) The site is run on a server based in the webmaster's house that does not
have any redundancy (power, drives, access to the internet, etc.).
2) I believe the program used to host the forum is Freeware (you get what
you pay for).
3) There is no log noting outages and the cause and very little notice for
scheduled maintenance.
4) Webmaster brings the site down for maintenance when it's convenient for
him, not his customers.
5) Webmaster ignores any help and suggestions from people who do this type
of work for a living.
6) The SDC only pays $600/mo. to do the job, which also must cover any/all
expenses incurred by the webmaster... virtually eliminating anybody with any
type of networking skills from applying for the job.
7) Nobody complains, and when they do they get their ass chewed by the
webmaster's buddies... who will then pat him on the back for doing a fine
job when it comes back up.

That's just off the top of my head... other than that everything is fine.

Lee, you know darn well that people have complained many times.
There have been 8 threads here about Forum problems.
There have been threads on the Forum, and I posted on another today.
I've emailed Bob personally when there are problems.
If you want to put Bob down, at least get the facts right.

Please correct me where I'm wrong. Because from what I've been told and
know nothing I stated is untrue. So "zoombot" tell me where my facts are
incorrect.

Don't bait me! You can read the forum yourself and see the threads
now.

In other words, you're disagreeing with me but can't dispute any of my
comments.

Where are these threads discussing the recent outages? Because I don't see
any.

I am numb to all of this...
But...
If you have spoken to Bob via e-mail about a problem on 'that' forum,
why are you asking about it on 'this' forum?
That makes no sense to me, but I am stupid, and have no idea what is
important in life <g>..
