Aceicol Posted February 18, 2003 Share Posted February 18, 2003 Bill does have one good point though. He has stopped you lot arguing over a pointless petty disscussion, whoever was right or wrong did it really need to go on for 6 pages. I suppose by me adding this mail I am just as bad myself, I just couldn't resist. p.s. A woman in a man's field, would that Old Macdonald's missus then. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hobbzilla Posted February 18, 2003 Share Posted February 18, 2003 ... places like webhostingtalk, are very far from unbiased, and are nothing more than a spam feat for hosts...... ... I think that is the whole reason that users like Ron are getting fed up with all the "I need a good host recommendation" posts. This type of posts does nothing BUT invite commercial posts, referrals, etc. and make this board turn into the same thing you say you hate. So, yes finding a host is a VERY important step in setting up an e-commerce site. But as the development team has stated (again, and again), this is not the place for that. They have offered alternatives and if you don't like those listed, do you have an alternatives that have not been run into a "spam feat?" Anyway, seeing this board grow to 5k+ members, I sincerely hope that that the dev team considers lightening their load by picking out a few of the frequent posters on here (and have handled themselves professionally), and make them forum moderators, not a member of the dev team mind you, perhaps one for each of the main categories. I understand a few team members have "Support" titles... but I'm speaking of more or less of managing the various forum topics.. perhaps merging, purging, splurging (hey it was the only word left that ryhmed). Thus resulting in those that are indeed members of the development team to do just that.. Develop. IMHO, It would be a great step forward to try and make new users start to be self-sufficient with some good documentation. Perhaps that is a goal for those "Support" team members and is in some stage already -- I don't know if that is the case.. I haven't heard any talk on the issue. (I know it would be difficult in some instances with things constantly evolving - but now with MS1 completed you would at least have a starting point). Anyway, I remember how I felt when I first looked at osC and started reading some documentation and then bang! 404 - Not Found errors started popping up. It was a little disheartening... but not suprised as this is a GPL'd project. Sorry I couldn't resist adding to the M Now this thread is almost 7 pages and at least for members of the dev team have stopped in and said hello! So, I just want to say "Hi" to everyone! How has your day been? Mine has been pretty good. I've been working on an osC site all day! :D p.s. a thread like this one is a great example of merging, purging, & splurging. It does very little for those reading. And for those who are posting.. most could be substituted for one of those bean-bag blow-up punch guys that you can hit & kick and keep coming back for more.

Christian Lescuyer Posted February 18, 2003 Share Posted February 18, 2003 My day has been quite good, working on a non-osC site :D I agree that 7-page threads are useless for new users looking for advice. I do not agree that the "support" people should edit them. I believe in free speach :lol: Actually, most of my editing is removing double posts... As for my support activity, I rarely read long threads. I will look for subjects with 0 answer and help if I can. Maybe I'm mistaken, but I think I'm most helpful that way. As for the documentation, wait and see :o Christian Lescuyer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CC Posted February 19, 2003 Share Posted February 19, 2003 p.s. a thread like this one is a great example of merging, purging, & splurging. Argh a new word to add to the moderator dictionary. Splurging... :lol: I like it. I do not agree that the "support" people should edit them. I believe in free speach Would love to agree with you on that one Christian, but I believe in using the rules, it helps to control the madness. Sometimes...! :shock: And that Bill geeza was well out of order, Linda did the best thing by censoring him. Nuff said now tho, I cant even remember what the original question was really... :lol: :lol: :lol: CC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hobbzilla Posted February 19, 2003 Share Posted February 19, 2003 I do not agree that the "support" people should edit them. I believe in free speech I too am FOR free speech. However, you and I both know there are laws governing it. I think 100% free speech is a natural right.. and leaving a shoe imprint on their face after the fact is a natural right also. However, just like free speech, that too is governed. As for the documentation, wait and see :o Well, any news is good news! P.S. I cant even remember what the original question was really Trust me... that is a good thing! Perhaps now this will dwindle off the new post list and into the "I did a search but couldn't find anything" area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 19, 2003 Share Posted February 19, 2003 Yes, look at the top right corner ;) . and we have found the TRUE modivation............... "pair or no one" :roll: Heh. That said, even though they may be an osC sponsor, they're actually a pretty great host. Before going dedicated, I used them. They're old, quite established. Unlike most others I've tried (since, 95 or 96, whenever it is I got involved in the commercial side of the net), no real complaints. MANY other hosts are just *horrible* -- if anything, Harald et al not wanting other hosts mentioned here is almost a good thing, in that regard. Heh. Now, they do have some funky cron limits and whatnot since they like to keep their loads low, but that should be no problem with an osC based sites. When I used 'em, they ran on rock solid FreeBSD servers and seperate servers just for MySQL databases. Multiple tier 1 bandiwdth providers, with tuned connections. Good stuff. I wish I could run FreeBSD where I am now, but my dedicated provider only allows Linux at this time. Oh well. I'm glad this host supports osc. They're certainly two of the better options out there in their respective categories. Now if I could only find a toothpaste half as good as either, I'd be all set. Man, my teeth would be so sparklin' white and have a low bacterial load, to boot. My teeth parse times would be sooooo low. :D (and, no, i would not bother asking about hosts at hosting forums like WHT -- you want spam, really want spam, you go there. Unless people are piping up with negative comments, you mostly just get fed a load of crap. If anyone cares to, you can pm me and i can tell you like 10 hosts to stay away from, heh, 2 virtual that've been good, and the dedicated I'm with now that is A OK. I don't get any money or kudos for doing so, but I sure am addicted to telling other people the best of everything I know. Helping people really is it's own reward. And you can often get some good advice in return someday, which is another great reward, of course. Tell me anything good in return via pm -- places to advertise, where to get cool shoes, whatever, and I'm happy. :)) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
