quote: I don't know what this trouble or thread is all about. So I'm taking it off topic now!!! My favourite film is The Usual Suspects My favourite song is by Elton John I guess that's why they call it the blues Time on my hands could be time spent with you Laughing at children, talking like lovers Swearing like thunder, under the covers I guess that's why they call it the blues. My dog is 12 years and 9 days old. (In people years) We shall now return you to our normal schedule.

And to make a comparison, ProBoards (using a similar message board type as Xsorbit does) is having problems of its own. Features not working, major slowdowns... In the end, free hosting services are always a pain in the ass. But then again, that's what you get with free services; it's not that you're actually paying for good services...

Donut you sly old fox, is that remarkable tint of your sunglasses "Shades of inuendo"? I have been wanting a pair of those for myself, but I don't think I could carry them off the dignity and aplomb that you possess. "How is your dog? Congratulations on her 12th birthday".

quote: Well, that's what Mel and I were talking about, in short. So it is as we feared, the paid message boards are on the same servers as the free ones and suffer from the same crashes/slowdowns/other problems. Not much you can do about it, I'm afraid.
