This site has some engineering issues. User experience is rough.

The problem with slow loading has gotten worse over the past week.

The old version of this site had some unobtrusive advertising on it, but I haven't seen any so far on the new version. I wouldn't wan pop-ups or any such thing. But I hope the lack of advertising isn't going to make the site unsustainable.

Where the heck is Rech when you need him?

The founder probably runs this site out the back of a used bookstore somewhere in Berkeley, CA (at least that’s how I picture him). Give him a break and some time. He’ll come through - but he definitely matches to the beat of his own drum.

The last week or so the site has slowed down. Maybe founder is tinkering with some new features.

Yeah this site is designed like we are still in 1997.

And, presto! Site response is dramatically faster. Thanks to whoever addressed the problem.

Same here. Things take forever to load sometimes.

Yeah from a user stand point and my limited knowledge of behind the scenes issues here the changes have sucked IMO.
Lots of guys here praise the changes and give props to founder for those changes. I don't know if they're serious or just sucking up to founder and looking for brownie points, BTW I don't think founder is the type that's influenced by brown nosing

I think the board is worse than it's ever been in the years I've been here and even going back to the previous days I lurked before I signed up. That's the main reason I'm hardly here any more.

I miss San Jose guy. Iceeloco and desert scrub and their comments. and the ads for the Indian movers.

One of my disappointments is not being able to see any comments on the reviews that I have posted. and that includes my own comments on my reviews.

I guess I better write up some good reviews to post that will get approved so I can have VIP access.
