Blog comments - What If, Railbirds...

Once again. you are a voice of reason..notify all railbirds...shut it down and fix it..the band aids aint workin,,Im sure that they have been doin what they can to limp us along ..but it is time for a good fix...peace...

I LOVE THAT IDEA!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am sooooo for it! It would suck to not be able to be on here for a day or even 1/2 of a day, but I tell ya, it would make me SUCH a happy camper if it would fix the ongoing annoyances that take place every 15 min's or so now!

If it could happen, I'd be glad to give up a day of RB's.

If thats what it takes to fix it I like it!

Agree with you my friend, i dont mind if teh site gets shot down for a couple of days so everything can be fixed. I do not know a lot about computer stuff but i will preffer to wait for aperiod of time than get that rude maintanance message

I'm sure a majority of users could remove the needle from their arms for a morning or afternoon, just to see everything tickety-boo again. I doubt it needs a vote, just as long as some Prorails see it and help to maybe make it happen. Good plan, Tc.

A voice from Paradise with reason. I am all for it.

Great idea TC. Would rather spend a day or a week without rails than another week or even day with the site as poorly functioning as it has been.

i too agree ,shut down for some hours or a day,it too is driving me nutz,i love this site and been on it everyday ,i just hope railbirds will fix it ,also maybe even posts everything a day ahead of time so we wont miss anything the day its shut down ,if it does ,i know its frustating but some people arent having anyproblems why is that?

I agree with you 110%.

I too, am addicted. It's getting extremely frustrating.....because it's so damn hard to navigate and I can't get my Railbirds "fix:" Though I want to, I am spending less and less time on the site. I don't want to b*tch and moan, I know that the powers that be are trying to get it fixed.....But come on! It's getting a little ridiculous....

I'd gladly give up the site for a day or two- If I knew I was gonna come back to a smoother operation.

Though it is good advice, it probably won't happen.

I'll keep trying to log in and remain active....but it's getting harder and harder to do.

i like the idea sounds good to me

It's a nice idea but unfortunately will not work.

Everybody and their uncle is crying 'FIX THE SERVERS' 'BUY NEW SERVERS' and such. However, the problem is NOT with the hardware . It is a database issue. Until tech actually finds the root problem, we will be experiencing server reboots because each patch applied to a database requires a restart, hence the Maintenance splash screen. And believe me, some database problems can be so very hard to find. We just have to have patience and allow them to do their thing.

Papa, I am about out of patience ! There has to be something that can be done ! I am spending less and less time here, and I know I am not the only one, before long we will be losing people for good !

go for it sounds like we need it

I agree TC! I have made so many great friends here and we would send pms back and forth and I don't know how many times I have sent them to only to be gone! I have now tried to copy before I send to I don't have to retype it again! Don't get me wrong I do Love the site But it would have been very nice if instead of letting everyone get so upset If they had come out and said what was going on or something . I know the poor prorails don't need a PM from all the birds so if they posted on the start page and maybe update it occasionally It would be nice!

Very good point TC. Would back that 100%

I gotta tell you, TC. It's my field of expertise and I'm chomping at the bit for the opportunity to help out. But I am confident that Railbirds has a fully qualified top notch team working on this (round the clock it seems with all the reboots).

They can't just go out and install a new database. Then ALL of the accounts would be lost and we have to start over from scratch. Certainly not a very pretty thought. We just need to give them breathing space.

lets all go to paradise and watch tc cut the lawn for a day or 2, couldn't hurt and from what tc says it sounds rather entertaining to see...................JMO, dj

I will definatly get a picture next time I get ole' yeller out of the garage !

Whatever needs to be done....geterdun. I've had it here. Everytime I do anything at all on the site I have to remember to copy it or risk having to redo my work. Twice this weekend I wrote Results blogs for our tournys and forgot to copy....two for two I had to completely redo. It may not seem like much, but it's over an hour of my time gone for no reason. That doesn't even include the PMs lost or the time spent trying to open anything. I've been patient, but it's gettin' old.

I'd better remember to copy this comment.

Whatever it takes I`m for it
