What a crappy site this finally became...

This used to be my favorite site .... used to be, now it became worthless, all my links to my favorite articles are gone, slow, messed up and all that because of this incredible improved .NET version ... yea right :((

WHat a brainless thing to post. There will always be teething problems with re-developing a site with this many users. If you don;t like it, dont let the door hit you on the way out.

Well, don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out. Alternatively, learn a little patience. Good things come to those who wait.

Exactly. The early bird gets the worm, but it's the second mouse that gets the cheese!

You are very shallow. Your personal relationships (if you have any) must suck. "...used to be my favorite site..." ... "...now it became worthless..." Gosh that's a lot of loyalty to a "favorite site". Have you read all the posts by Chris? Have you read his responses to questions like, "My links are gone, etc..." Just out of curiosity did you put the x on the end of the .asp to fix all your "favorite" links? If you didn't it's your own fault you cannot get to anything. Why don't you update all your links from {linkurl}.asp to {linkurl}.aspx then come back an apologize for being a total dolt. Geez. Does your mother still feed you with a spoon?

No one cares if this is your favorite site. Do you pay for access to it, at all? Do you ever click through the banner ads? Yeah, I didn't think so. Shut up. You have to be a pretty big jackass to make a statement like that. The new site has been up less than a week, and it is already running 10x faster than it ever did for me(and a lot of other, so I have heard). It takes time to get everything put back together.

I'd like to see you do better, you ungrateful jerk.

If it's now so useless how bout you hunt down all the code/ideas you've taken away from here and remove them from your own projects. You obviously know better than anyone here.

Eh, to each his own. It's being fast and friendly to me right now... :D

Who said this is the end of the update process? It's slower YET, but I'm sure a large group of guys are working very hard to improve it. In fact converting the whole website with all it's articles from ASP to ASP.Net is such a big job that when I first read about it on Chris blog, I wouldn't believe it. I thought it might fail, but not only it didn't, but also all we have here to complain is that it's a bit slower and links changed from ~.asp to ~.aspx. This is a big success in itself. Thanks to CP admins for kipping this big pig up and running FREE OF ANY CHARGE. I'm sure when all servers return to usual state, and the job finishes completely, it will be much better than what it was, and better than that, since it has a good base; it will improve more quickly with less effort in a near feature. This whole thing, I think, is worth to give them our thanks, so maybe reading it they become more eager to continue their tedious job.

I'm really sorry to hear that. No I am. Really. That's terrible - I'm sure that Chris will roll everything back just for you. He's a reasonable guy, and I'm sure that he'll sleep better knowing that he's helped you by moving off this more maintainable, upgradable technology back to ASP3 just for you. I'm curious though. How is your complete rewrite of a site with 4million + members going? The users happy are they? Which would you say were your favourite articles? A complete guide to walking upright. Dribbling for beginners. Sesame Street's Elmo teaches COBOL. How I beat my diarrhoea and learned to love myself. Tell you what - when you can match the success that Chris and his highly underappreciated team have managed, then we'll all come and worship at your feet. Until then, Mr Maunder has my loyalty and support.

That's all right. You can change your vote on the new site.
