Database Errors, Long load times, Constant crashing

Is there anything to be done about this?? I feel as though the 3 other Forums i belong to, all of which im not paying for are 100x better than this site. Could members help this out at all?? Any suggestions, deleting PMs, deleting random pictures in the gallery? I feel as though its honestly getting to be a major problem. Especially when you are trying to buy/sell something or get a group together to take pics. Please fix this!!

agreed, for example im a member of a Jeep forum and it runs tip top all the time. No issues in 2 months. NO waiting 30 seconds to search and post either.

i hear you frank. my friend alex is a moderator for several mmo forums and those things are loaded to the brim with bullshit threads. they never crash or get as slow as this one. it gets slow somtimes but not as much as here.


but i do wonder if cleaning up the threads a bit would help. like the post somthing about the user above you could be deleted and remade that thread takes forever to load. and having a monthly or a general workchat.

I can see these issues like once a month or every couple for updates etc. but yes its fairly rediculous when its on a multiple times a day basis.

The solution is to annoy the admin until he fixes the problem. Until then we are all SOL. Fill up his PM box!

You would think. But I got banned for 2 weeks for bringing up a similar subject when I didn't violate a single forum rule.

i'm going to totally regret opening my mouth, AGAIN.

the last time something was said, which was the time Ross got banned for a week or two, when the site went down for 3 damn full days, he posted something, he got banned, i posted something, it got locked.

in my thread i asked for anytime there is maintenance, just let us know. sometimes they do, sometimes they don't. i also requested the fact that they tell us what is being worked on. i guess for the privacy or something they don't want it out there? i'm not sure.

almost all other forums have a suggestion thread, CSS should have one too. yes, it's an older site, but hey, you can still teach an old dog new tricks.

a LOT of members pay to use this site. use the money to keep it running and make it work. switch the server, it's not that hard.

Don't hate, you are the one that came in here posting in the "Site Development and Help Site Discussions, Suggestions, and Help " thread stating we need a suggestion area on the site

and most of us just let it go by the wayside. I'm not saying we should up and revolt, but if enough of us group together and make our voices heard perhaps something will be done about it. I would really hate to have someone make a new cobalt forum that is better functioning and ran than this one.
