Hi folks. Ronnie is currently in the United States pulling 24 hour shifts at Harvard Medical School. I understand people's frustration at the detagged forum being temporarily offline due to a database corruption and Ronnie has assured me that he will fix it as soon as he gets a couple of hours sleep. The DropCatcher system is completely unaffected and continues to catch names aplenty!
The detagged forum is of course a completely free public service provided on a "best efforts" basis. It is not a paid service with an SLA and when I received an outraged email yesterday berating me for the "disgraceful downtime" of the forum it really was a bit silly!
Thats good news i suppose, but arnt all forums free public services?, never heard of a pay per post forum
If a website / company has a forum, then if the forum is down for an unacceptable amount of time then surely it doesnt reflect well on that company, people are bound to get a bit fraustrated... although i wouldnt go as far as writing an outraged email ))
