Mole

tell me why i'm wrong.

Are you being deliberately stupid? Of course a release of accounts isn't needed, but when the current contract for this server expires i'd expect the decision on the provider to be the right decision. I'd have thought that prior to asking for the £5 donations this matter would have been investigated fully and advice sought. There is a poster on this site who knows far more about these things than either Baj or Steve and they should seek his advice imo.

You miss the point entirely. £5 is peanuts BUT it was supposed to fix the problems - that was the whole point, or so i thought....

Running it is the hard part, the technical stuff is the easy part. The cost is not an issue as subs cover that. The issue is where the money was spent it would seem.

Well according to Delia online and the BBC good food guide (i just checked both) they should be cooked. So i was right.

I'm not too sure, muddyford quay perhaps.

You're right about the bad attitude from Baj today, this may be down to frustration, but it's still bad form.

No way. That is sushi, not a prawn coctail. A prawn coctail is prawns (cooked, peeled and chilled) usually on a bed of lettuce, with marie rose sauce. Served with brown bread. Raw prawns are not part of a prawn coctail.

I must admit i find it a bit strange how ratty some mods get about these things. I must also admit that when they do get ratty it's quite funny.

Also threads locked/deleted that mention problems with the forums speed. I don't get that.

It reminds me of when i was on holiday and ordered a prawn coctail. When it arrived the prawns were raw. I called the waitress back and quitely said the prawns were raw and she informed me her husband was the chef and was a trained chef and that's how they should be. An argument then followed which was quite embarrassing. She was wrong and i was right, but even if i'd been wrong the customer is always right.

Wooosh, S4E was this sites predecessor which shut down.

Looking at the stats for now it is: (54 members and 84 guests) Just block guests full stop. That would fix the problem and would not affect members (registered or full). Easy and it costs no money and takes no time..

It's been slow for considerably longer than the last two matches. It's a common theme now. I agree £5 is nothing, but it was supposed to fix the problem.

No, i don't want 4ES to rise again, it's over and that's how i want it to stay. I posted the link to provide a service because saints were playing and there was no match thread.

If bandwidth is an issue would help if pointless subforums were removed? Overseas saints/supporters groups - pointless Saints away supporters - pointless SFC news on demand - pointless England/Hants cricket - pointless Southampton IFC - pointless The motoring forum - pointles pubs and beer - pointless Arcade games - pointless Arcade chat - pointless Hardware/software issues - pointless Computer games - pointless Buy/sell - pointless Films,music and literature - pointless photography - pointless Southampton city forum - pointless forum suggestions - pointless The only forums worth keeping are the main board, the lounge and the muppet show imo.

It's not just now and then though is it. It's everytime Saints play a game of football, i.e the most important time. The whole point of paying £5 was to sort these problems out. I'm not having a go here, just correcting you.

How is it wrong?

The whole point of the charge was because it was guarenteed to sort out the slowness issues.

I received a pm about that, but Baj would rather that wasn't mentioned. On the original point i couldn't be arsed because i decided to post on here. With TSW up and runnying there was no point.

To be fair their job is easy as they are both just the people who sort out the technical stuff - this is the easy part believe it or not. The real people who keep this forum running are mods like ponty that mod it. This is not having a dig, it's the truth of the matter.

Why is it not here today you ask, well there's many reasons for that. Poor modding from myself, too small a market when up against a big site like this, and many other reasons. It had three periods and in the end i basically couldn't be arsed with it just like everyone else who'd run it. I was involved at the start then called it a day and then at the end. I challenge anyone to try and do better though against such strong competition and you won't be able to do it. When S4E shut down i even let Baj and co advertise TSF's opening on there which i had no problem with. Baj wouldn't tolerate this sort of thing when the boots on the other foot though, but hey we're all different and speaking personally i never have really given a fook.

These are real facts and only a blithering idiot would dispute them.
