Site down often

Post by cdnavater »

Dear Avcanada,
Can you please provide an explanation to why more frequently and for extended periods of time I am unable to get on your site?
For the last month or so I have been unable to connect to the server, it’s becoming much more frequent and now lasts for longer than a day at times, no rhyme or reason, I can get on, look at two topics and go to the next topic and be unable to reach the server.
I have gone to a site tha5 checks if it me or you and always comes back as you.
It’s becoming very frustrating and as a result I believe many users are moving on, there is a lack of new content very often, can you provide an explanation and what you are doing about this?

Seconded!!!

Not sure what the issue is but if anything, you need to separate the Job Board from the rest of this pile of donkey shit.

I suspect that some sort of fix could be made but that someone is not willing to pay the expense involved.

I thought that's what the ridiculous amount of ads are for? This site is constantly slow to load or just doesn't load at all, not to mention it's hardly moderated.

Ad blockers work well with this site. I don’t mind an ad or two mixed in, but it’s actually crazy how many they put on this site.

This entire website feels like it was from 1997 using a 28.8k modem. A HUGE refresh is needed. I bet AI can code a new one in about 43 seconds.

Absolutely! I got an ad blocker specifically for this site. I have to renew it but given the site performance and lack of upkeep and moderation over the last several months, I don't think I'll bother as my visitation frequency is probably going to decrease.
