I am willing to help with my services/ideas, free of charge, yes I said free of charge.
Door is still open.
Power in numbers.
As for starting a new forum. You might get some members but the post ****** will stay unless you carry that # over.

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.

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!!

It's frustrating as all mutherfucking hell and I'd love to see that **** fixed too but from what I gather it's not going to happen unfortunately. It's one of the things holding me back from becoming a premium member.

I understand three sides to every story, but in the eyes of the community most prolly see, site down again , WTF doesn't this guy get money from members and vendors plus ads, but they don't realize what it costs to run a site, and not speaking money!!!
Time > Money
BS your more at fault for not standing up and speaking.
You let it happen in reality.

Easy there. If you don't vote you have no right to bitch. I personally have no skills to add to fixing this database error otherwise I'd offer them. I'm just an outside individual who would love to see something done but has pretty much come to accept its annoyance. Rather than get my panties in a bunch I just grin and bear and come back later. There's more important things to be ticked off about than this site.

I find that the wait times build suspense..... The user experience when clicking on the site link is like this:
" Wait for it, wait for it.... DAMN!... database error.... reload... oh shat, I have wait 30 seconds for a search that didnt work? Hmm, I'll try to send a pm to that other guy who knew alot about the xyz question I had, **** he got banned cause a vendor needed smoke blown up his ****, oh wait I will see how the cobalt is doing out on the highway in the 'street racing' section.... hmmmm my car is faster than a lambo and slower than a nissan sentra spec-v, cool....Lets check the lounge section ... hmmm why are all these losers getting dumped? "

If your referring to Black08SSTC and his panties, because of this thread, that's even funnier.
One man stands up, and little ole you call him a newb. Your classic really classic.
You are forsaken, but no outlaw, change the name. And the sig, cuz you have no right to overthrow a Government you don't vote for.

Well if the pics get stored in the DB, that could also be why if they are stored as a link then that's different.

See here http://www.vbulletin.com/docs/html/a...cture_database
Kinda, I'm speaking about those who post like 50 pictures in the VBGarage, if they are stored in the DB then trouble. But if they are stored via a link in the DB then that is fine, it's the same as you posting a flickr picture.
I mean we could try something, instead of when people say I don't know how to post a picture instead. Either (A I get off my **** and setup a posting site to host pics on one of my web servers that can be linked to here.[password protected of course to only CSS.net members](B. Some one does a how to flickr in the lounge and when one asks they get sent that link.

I vote the Admin throws the mods a bone and gives them a bit more power.. Black always chimes in when it comes to Database error threads. If the mods were given a bit more control I can see this site cleaning up alot. Why not delete inactive members? Archive century old threads? There is so much wasted space on here it's ridiculous. Anything more then 10 pages back in a forum rarely gets looked at anyways..
That is sadly bang on

Problem here is members and site activity bring you Sponsor and Vendor $$$
Along with the previous it adds site traffic, more searchable areas, CSS.net gets up on Google faster SEO 101.
