First of all, I do know the software this site uses and posted comments about this in the right forum, where this topic is already running. Second, the ASP and IIS software running this web initially came out in 1996... 20 years ago, not 30 years ago. The actual PGD forum software has been in use since 2004, which is probably how old the SQL database is. That database is what I presume they have been having a problem with because it has been broken for 2 months now. I can only assume that what's being fetched is corrupted, not the software fetching it. Otherwise the repairs should have taken hours or days, not weeks or months. The fact you think a teenager can fix 16 years worth of data from a site that has 200,000 new visitors a month that made over 4,822,726 posts on the forums and countless millions of profiles . . . well, I can only presume you know just enough to sling insults because you don't know enough to understand the problem. I agree with you that it is an awful long time to be limping along and running on patches and work arounds. Collarspace/collarchat is my favorite free or pay site. The structure of it and the amount of content it delivers is a community service to us all and I am very disappointed that it isn't running properly. However, insulting the owner or the volunteers in management won't get the site fixed faster. Nor will it win you the favor of its fans who are having serious conversations about this issue in the proper forums. So to us, your misplaced and uninformed "positive experience" post pretty much sucks ass and for me, it makes me wonder why you use this site instead of FetLife which is running on an even more precarious dinosaur Ruby on Rails. Life is choices and being judgmental and condescending when you don't have the facts doesn't seem like one of the best choices you have made. Your apology would be in order.
