Is Net54 Running Slow?

[ls7plus]

Was running Very, very slow for me after midnight last night, but seems to be A-OK now!

Guys and girls,
First of all my apology for the site running slowly. We believe it is absolutely the chat room folks. Our Net54baseball hosting company (completely different than the chat room hosting company) said they monitored performance the last few days and there are no issues on their end. Our chat room folks, on the other hand, are quite honestly, bumbling idiots at best. They have had someone on their staff giving out the admin password to hackers, and said so in an email this morning. They kept telling us we were doing it so we told them to NOT even give us the password. So this last time they couldn't blame us and figured out that it was someone on their staff being an idiot. As they are trying to fix the chat room issues there might be some more slowness. After that we should be back to normal. I/we don't expect it to take more than another day or so, but I can't promise anything. They are maroons (sic) and are inept at what they are doing, imo. I just want to explain so ya'll would be in the loop as much as we are....The slowness is intermittent and is not a problem right this moment (for me), though it has been sticking quite a bit this morning.

probably slow due to the weight of the Carterscards thread. Hopefully the thread will sink

I had to AdBlock Plus the chat service for the site to load. Leon, do what you want but I would dump 123flashchat service effective...yesterday! I would rather not have a chat feature then 123flashchat. Plus, with so many (free) options your patience is to be commended.

Thank you.

My suggestion is to tap into the free Net54 non sports message board (co-brand it) and spend your time finding type cards or asking posters to put full names in posts I would rather not have a chat feature then 123flashchat. Plus, with so many (free) options your patience is to be commended.

As stated before, we don't have the technical support right now to do anything other than what we have. As having managed the previous s/w Network54 for about 5 yrs I am aware of that free chat and it was good. I am not personally able to modify or change what we have. It would have already been scrapped if I could do it myself. I like the non sports board but I have 0 interest in going back to having network54.com have any control whatsoever on this site. There were issues with them that I had to deal with. Every time someone got upset because I wouldn't protect them, or they didn't like a decision, they would complain to network54 and sometimes I would have to cave in...or ever worse, network54 would go delete posts or threads on their own. It sucked. We won't be going back to that. This chat issue will get worked out. Now, if someone has a lot of Vbulletin experience and they want to take this project on, I am all ears. regards
