Please Shut Down CF till things are fixed

[BellaSong]

I kind of like that it's still here even if it is a little wonky. What would I do with my time if CF were fully shut down.... be productive?????

I guess just staying away until it's fixed is asking too much?

some pet owners are doing just that and so the pet workers need to be on take care of the pets.

Actually, given that the problems stem from the database, it's only logical that the techs shut down the site until it's fixed. Until they do so, they're either working on the active forum, or they're working on a backup copy of the forum. Either way, they won't be able to make much progress. If they know what the problem is already, it'd be a lot easier to work on a static database.

CF2 is running on a completely different server, and the planned upgrade has zero to do with the current problems we are experiencing. In fact, the CF2 techs are waiting for CF to be fixed, before proceeding.

I did make the suggestion earlier that we shut down until the CF techs can fix things, but have not heard anything back yet.

not sure where this is going to wind up on the thread.

But I know from my job experience that it is easier to work on a static database than from copies of an active database.

mnphysicist....I appreciate all that you do to keep the site a safe friendly place to fellowship. It is just that the the ways things are right now, it is almost impossible to fellowship with anyone.

Keeping CF, it's members and staff in prayer.

Then I'll send him a PM.

LeeD doesn't reply to PMs, not about this issue anyway

He's replied about other issues, so, we'll see.

Not to be a pain, but...

How much of the site being up and only half-functional has to do with the "monetizing" of the forums, and the agreements with the advertisers?

P.S.: It's next to impossible to fix a database while "hot". Take it down!

This seems like a catch 22 here. Waiting for Cf to be fixed before proceeding ??
Wouldn't it be better to try to fix some of these bugs in the meantime so we can still post halfways normally ??


I have to say I agree with most everyone here too.
Best thing really is to shut the servers down, fix the problems, and reboot when they will function properly.
The server crash 2 years ago seems minor compared to whats going on now.

Actually, I'm not concerned that he reply. I just wanted him to know how many of us everyday grunts feel about it.

CF = Contest

CF = Clock Foul-up
CF = Communication Fog

This is really getting to be ridiculous. Just shut down CF till the bugs are worked out like they did 2 years ago after the major upgrades. Between posts being displaced (or worse, disappearing completely into cyberspace), reps being stolen from us, the time being off (which is probably causing a large majority of the problems), having to submit posts 3 or 4 times before it is accepted, keep getting logged out, unable to access threads (and who knows how many other problems), it is almost impossible to participate in discussions or fellowship here.

Please put us out of our misery and shut CF down till everything is taken care of!

THANK YOU!!!

trust me. Staff (includes LeeD) knows how everyone feels, because staff (includes LeeD) have the same issues. No one is insulated from this situation.

There are foundational bugs that need fixed before we can think about crossing over with CF2. And I believe it's the combination of server issues/foundational bugs that are causing the problems we are seeing. Techs are working on it, and I believe extra help was hired to try and fix this.

Please be patience, and pray for the Tech team. It's not been easy for them with all the problems that occur unexpectedly.

Haven't been spending much time in CF at the moment due to the bugs, cannot post without problems, cannot bless, blesses goes elseware, cannot delete pms easily-but have found a way around-long and slow, its just so frustrating and i don't have site support status now.

I keep checking back and occassionly posting, but I'm at the point, with the amount of bugs yet to be the fix, i don't want to even bother hanging around.

I love this site so much.

I heartily agree the place should be closed until repairs are complete. This current situation is as sensible as trying to fix a tire while the car is speeding down the road.

For the past few weeks, the ONLY time I come here is to look for announcements as to the status of repairs and upgrades. I've deleted my bookmark, I've advised people I know to not bother coming here, and if the foolishness continues I'll request my account be purged so I'm not even "tempted" to come here.

Wouldn't it be easier to shut down the site for a few days and do the upgrade? I've worked with/around computers for years, you just don't leave something up and running when there are this many problems in it. Just my .02, fwiw.

I agree with everyone here. It makes being a welcome angel very difficult as I've not been able to welcome anyone for days

It's also difficult to feed my pet rock, too

Please, please, please shut this place down and do the necessary work. Trying to do anything here at the moment is very frustrating.

If the goal is to run this site into the ground and send people elsewhere, it's succeeding.
