With all due respect. I have never in my life, seen a web site that functions as abysmally as this one. I am seeing transfer rates of around 3.0 KB/sec, or less than a 56Kbps modem. What is the problem? Doesn't the revenue from advertising displayed make it possible to have a site that works?

Worth1000 has one of the funniest naughty word replacemens lists I've ever seen. Small warning: the page contains all the original naughty words and some of the replacements aren't exactly politically correct. Charlie if(!curlies){ return; }

We do what we can with the resources available to us and that's often a balancing act where we please some and upset others. Is the information you get any less useful because you are visiting at peak times and it takes a while longer to download? cheers, Chris Maunder
Chris, don't mind this twat. We'll take care of him. (rolls up sleeves, dusts off hands, flexes biceps menacingly)

You're entitled to your opinion, so fair enough. But, if you feel that you can do better than do so, if not then whining will do nothing constructive. Also, be grateful for the resource you have, creating an extremely popular website is not an easy thing to do. Jeremy Falcon

Should anyone ever complain about anything or should they keep their mouths shut and "do it better". Is this site ever slow to you or do you not even notice it because you're busy being grateful.

Hmm.... let's see it this way. This guy's been a member for more than 2 years, and has posted 4 messages (that's including today's troll-posts), and he comes up and says in the Lounge that it sucks. It's like having a house owner in your neighborhood who's never home, and suddenly comes to a community meeting and shouting, "You guys suck, this neighborhood is c*ap". Heck, forget the analogies - even if he's entitled to his opinion, we are entitled to ours. :) Vikram.

I don't think it was a troll post. He didn't say anything derogatory about CP itself - he was complaining about the speed of the site. I don't know whether all those of you who chose to flame him immediately are just in denial or whether you are somehow privvy to some faster plumbing than he is (or I am) but I'm plagued with the same abyssmal performance on CP too. (and that when every other site I visit is pushing the envelope of my broadband connection) Maybe a simple explantion instead of knee-jerk flame-fest on anyone with the audacity to point out a very real problem (for some) with your beloved neighborhood would have been more appropriate.

Alvaro Mendez wrote: Should anyone ever complain about anything or should they keep their mouths shut and "do it better". Constructive criticism and complaining/whining are two different things. And, they can't do it better, then they really have no reason to whine. Alvaro Mendez wrote: Is this site ever slow to you or do you not even notice it because you're busy being grateful. It does get slow at times, and yet we keep on coming back. Why is that? Because we know CP is a valuable resource. It's valuable enough for us to overlook the slow times. If you don't appreciate it, then why are you here? Jeremy Falcon

I'd like to hear how you turn "the site is slow" into constructive criticism... "Chris, I'm of the opinion that additional servers may help improve the performance of the site." :rolleyes: Jeremy Falcon wrote: It does get slow at times, and yet we keep on coming back. Why is that? 1. Because I'm hooked. :) 2. Because it's usually not slow -- at least not for me. But I've seen it run slow, and there's nothing more frustrating than being hooked to a slow site. :-) So I can understand someone raising their voice and expressing it. I encourage you to read Chris's response to the guy and get a different perspective. Alvaro

Well for one, a "i'm noticing the site is responding sluggish today" comes across as a lot better than what this guy wrote. Alvaro Mendez wrote: I encourage you to read Chris's response to the guy and get a different perspective. Different perspective on what? I know the site is slow at times. My point was that whining about it produces worse results than acting like an adult about it. Jeremy Falcon

Alvaro Mendez wrote: I'd like to hear how you turn "the site is slow" into constructive criticism... That is exactly what I was going to say. Alvaro Mendez wrote: Jeremy Falcon wrote: It does get slow at times, and yet we keep on coming back. Why is that? Because the information found on code project is very useful, and i find the users of code project to have similar interests as I do. I consider myself a technical guy, and can deal with sites that load slowly when i need them most. However, that does not mean i wouldn't enjoy it even more if the site was as responsive as many other sites i visit daily. After all, if code project came on a CD that was shipped monthly via snail mail, i'd still read it. Levi Rosol My other computer is your Linux box...[^]

All I have to say is, even though cp does run a little slow the content on the entire website is worth the wait. Including the lounge, there is always a good laugh to be found.:) ------------------------------- Programming is 40% Art, 40% Technical knowledge and 20% Voodoo Magic.
