  • Where is everyone?

    It seems to be very quiet here lately-it used to be several new threads and posts a day and now we're seeing some days without any activity at all. Does this mean that there is a shortage of sucky customers? Do we need some providing?

    For me it's mostly the same type of customers, different day, but it's more along the lines of COC that I really should've posted about by now.
    Eh, one day I'll have something useful here. Until then, have a cookie or two.

      I'm between jobs (voluntarily), so haven't had a lot to talk about.

          Good reason to stay.
          Customers should always be served . . . to the nearest great white.

            It seems to me that it had been slowing down for quite a while. As for the site redesign - Yeah, it has definitely had some issues, and, while we've been tweaking what we can, some things we can't do anything about from the Admin side (e.g. the way new posts appear in the sidebar). Sorry about that. The reason for it is that we were in a really, really old version of vBulletin (IIRC well over a decade old) that was difficult, if not impossible, to get support for and insecure.

            Please feel free to spread the word about the site. One issue we've looked at is that the emailing system (especially for new users) has been "sometimes working, sometimes not" for no GD good reason x.x Please advise anyone new to hit the "Stuck Validating" section up top of the board if this happens. Better yet, if a friend joins up, message me or MadMike and we'll manually authorize them ASAP.

              I'm in the middle of a career change. I have to do some learning before I can, though, and it's been tying up most of my free time. (Not that I've been on the site a whole lot lately, but still.)

              Meanwhile, I still have to bring in money, while still learning. In Self-Resurrecting Suicidal Burning Bird City, no problem... but here in Cowskull? Well... not so easy. I generally have to drive down to London Bridge Town, an hour and a bit away, if I want to make any money -- and then a huge chunk of that money goes right back into the gas tank. Sigh.
