Re: PLEASE fire your hosting service. PLEASE...
It is faster since the changes, which is very nice, especially during the peak hours. I do wish the banners would get moved to between posts rather than using a good 20% of the screen width.
BTW, what is with the canned answer of "Why don't you ... go elsewhere"? Frankly, if everyone who had a gripe went elsewhere, this place would be a ghost town, nothing would ever get improved and the admins would wonder what they did wrong, since nobody would ever give negative feedback. Next time you find yourself grumbling about your boat, follow your own advice and quit boating. Or if you find yourself grumbling about life.. you can possibly rework your unhelpful response.
Frankly, it wouldn't be difficult at all to replace this forum (I'm a web developer), what isn't replaceable are the thousands of helpful posts already here (which were posted by people for actual 'free') and the time we have all spent here building relationships and getting to know people, so save your canned "If you think you can do better.." responses, too. I'm just glad the admins here ponied up and stopped people from going elsewhere due to slowness, as it only takes one person like me to start a forum elsewhere for them to lose business. That's the nature of the net, and I speak from experience.
Me, I'm glad the speed up happened, that way we don't have any more people 'just going elsewhere' and lessening the helpfulness of this forum which has easily saved me thousands and has given me endless entertainment and learning experiences.
