I wonder if there would be a new forum in that timeframe?

You're still good on your promise from page two if there is, yeah?

Could be they’ve actually taken some of the feedback. 2007 is almost upon us.

So have they or haven't they? Or are you in the same camp as Cougar and treated like a mushroom?

Might need something in writing.

Is the 'hers why's because the people who created the forum are no longer involved with STW and those that are have a real fear of impacting something negatively?
Given the volume of users and the way the forum is now designed to work (generates more clicks and views and therefore shows more ads and generates more revenue), STW aren't likely to be rushing to get this fixed.
It won't be easy but it is entirely possible to get an update (or new) solution that improves the end user experience and maintains the inordinately large number of ad views that are enforced.
For something that is apparently so involved in paying wages, it seems odd that the tech support isn't available until Monday.

I've not read all these posts but I'm guessing people are moaning about the site and redirects and lack of response. I think it's pretty unfair as the website may be hosted by another company, it's likely looked after by one-two people regarding maintenance...... If those people are on call even on a Sunday they have to be paid. Deb's and admin's are far from cheap so that would just increase STW's outlay putting more pressure on the mag to succeed. It shouldn't matter that much that a site has a temporary issue for a few days.

Just my opinion, it's possibly been classed as not critical so doesn't need out of hours work, if it was a DDoS attack which brings down the site then that would be classed as something being urgent attention.

If I tell you they have would you believe me?

They have.

Malwarebytes is having a field day blocking hijacks in the last ~10 minutes, but that "Ready to play?" advert (no idea what it's selling, I have sound muted) is doing my head in, auto-scrolling the page to either the top or bottom (even if I'm in the middle of writing a post). 👿

The fact the forum keeps bouncing around to ram these stupid adverts down my throat is beginning to really p1$$ me off...

Do you have the adverts switched off?
