I don't plan for mistakes at work, but shit happens. I just try to have all possible bases covered so I'm not causing any delays in business running as it should.

Perhaps your methodology is better, but your whining isn't helping, is it? And the community will survive a couple weeks of slow response, even if you think the world's future hinges on this upgrade.

I've also taken part in global deployments in IT. I'm happy that we both have jobs. Yay us.

I understand what your original gripe was. Which is why I asked you whether you're making things better with all your whining. You didn't answer that part.

Lastly, I'm not embarrassed myself. I'm trying to be reasonable in a tough situation for all the users. If anything, I'm ashamed that educated, professional adults don't have the maturity to be patient.

Look I'm not trying to debate this but please keep inappropriate comments to yourself, if you come to criticize how people should use of the forums then you don't realise that people have different requirements. Maybe you should write an instruction/step by step manual of how you use the forums and expect everyone to use it? I don't suppose you favour a dictatorship?

YES for some it is their lively hood and they should be recognised, not ridiculed by a troll. A lot of companies have been established because of S2Ki if you haven't realised, but judging by your activity I doubt it.
Sometimes you don't plan to be chasing people for money, I wasn't until the upgrade started as they didn't keep to their agreements. Its a bit late when you realise because you don't expect there to be a lack of trust and I don't really have time to keep backup of peoples numbers etc from PM's unless I was to add them to my mobile address book but why would I ? Maybe you're right, if I had nothing better to do during my day then I would do that but fortunately I have full time arrangements, this should be the least of my worries. Now going back to what you said about notifying people to back up their data, this wasn't mentioned as "months of planning" was the assurance for everyone. Actually looking at the site I see a few hours of implementation, no planning - Maybe try configuring your own IPB board then you'll realise that the only difference between this and a new setup is just the gallery and some settings. I'm sure if either of us done that with our job roles we'd be fired to say the least.

In terms of "whining" I'm pointing out what's going wrong. Like if you have a protest, consider this it. If enough people protest then a solution will be made. This is, back to my first point, not a dictatorship.


Also if you hadn't noticed we had two promises about PM's, Initial one said 12-24 hours, the next one said it would be resolved the same day (yesterday). Both haven't been satisfied which gives enough reason for me to be disappointed.

And to address your mention about maturity, I don't suppose maturity lies in calling people "criminal fncking whiners".

Dig your hole deeper as you wish.

Thank you for your positive input and I'm very glad I've been of help to you and I will always be available to answer anyone's questions if they also need help!

My first post ( https://www.s2ki.com/...st__p__20326509 ) wasn't actually to fire up a debate it was just to make my point about progress. I understand we should be patient but I know these type of forums etc very thorough and I understand how long or what time frames are involved, just like if you're working for someone they have a rough idea how long the jobs they set you should take so they know when you're doing your work or not.

All I'm hoping for is that they get back to work because its clear that nothing is happening.

I myself am very patient but I can tell that the way things are going, patience will be against us as people get comfortable.

I see that, in additon to being a idiot savant (you might look that up) when it comes to software design and upgrades that you're a contracts lawyer. You might want to look up the definition of contract and pay particular attention to the part about implied contracts. I'm also sure that cthree is so confident in your abilities that he's consulting you for every move in this upgrade. I've been on this board for only six years. I've been through a number of upgrades. The vast majority have gone quite smoothly. This one did not. You're saying that all the people who are affected by this should just sit around and talk quietly amongst themselves and not bother saying anything about glacial response times, lost messages, format changes for the sake of format changes? I think that you've been sitting too close to your exhaust pipe too long. (You'll notice that I didn't have to stoop to ad hominem attacks or name calling, people who do that generally appear to be more than 10 years old).

You've been quite helpful to people who've needed the help. That some troll can wander out and attack anyone because of legitimate complaints beggars the imagination. I've raised the same issues that you have, I've seen the same results you have. The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. That appears to be what has been happening the last couple of days. Some things are better (I've noticed a return to almost normal response times this morning for which I am eternally grateful), but there is still no PM's and there is still no way to track subscribed forums by last date you read them (if there is, please tell me how, I'm tired of going to the first page of a forum that consists of 200 pages of 40 messges each). Personally, I'd like to say thanks for the help you've offered (which is more than some people have done).

Based on what i've read... and my own falling out with Joeh (which got resolved as it was simple mis-communication... or actually too much communication haha)all i have to say is that i wish we could go back to the Mod 1 Picturephone:








in all honestly, yes this could have been handled differently and most likely in a smoother manner, but just like in any business, a choice was made and it was unfortunately not the best. things like this happen in the business world. They are now trying to deal with it the best they can. If i were then... i'd shut the whole site down again and stop everyone's whining all together.


by the way... from what i've heard... you can now say shit and porn on the site...... lets see if its true!

Now that's a great improvement.

I can't believe the posts in this topic. Get over yourselves. It takes a LONG time to recode stuff. Almost always when there is a new software upgrade there is a lot of coding hacks back in to the forum as the feature just was never there. It ALWAYS takes time. I don't see anyone offering to help with the transition, only bitch about it.

All in all, get over yourselves. This isn't the only s2k site to peddle your trash on.

Winner winner chicken dinner. Thank you!!!
