Anybody know anything about this?




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...

Exactly and unfortunately some people do pay Xsorbit for better quality (no adds, sticky notes etc) and THEY suffer when the whole thing goes down!

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".

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.
