worst abuse on PA ever

^ It happens to me most of the times. I don't post nearly as much as before now, also because there's not much being discussed. Unlike before, I can see every new post on the "Latest forum posts" when I visit the site in the morning.

Personally i never have a problem navigating the main site except sometimes the page is determined to go to a certain spot on the main page. However the forum section is quite irritating at times. Sometimes i have to refresh up to 20 times to post and there is no rhyme or reason as to why. The robot thing has only made it worse but is also random. This includes personal mail. It rarely wants me to respond to an email or post but creating a new one usually works out better. The site is just buggy overall. I still have faith in this site but it's clear that some major renovations are due. M@X should at least start a thread here to boost up moral and explain what the deal is. No one wants to hang out on a ship when the captains gone missing during the storm.

^ Wow. The site is hemorarrhaging and no one is jumping in to stop it. I guess the owner has given up or just doesn't care any more. RIP, PA. I hope some provides life support soon before it's too late :

Personally i think this is just an uncomfortable bump in the road and once things are ironed out, the masses will return to a smoother more stream-lined site. In the meantime, this is still an outstanding resource in my world :)

Exactly - I totally subscribe your thoughts, thk U for expressing them so neatly !

Would writing some kind of petition that we could all sign and PM to M@X be worth it? I can't believe he's given up, he still logs in regularly.

I don't see a petition as having any impact beyond the informal petitioning that is occurring in this and similar threads. But it might be time to inquire about a purchase.

If this could only be solved with precision and elegance like urinating in Japan

I mean what is The Mahavishnu Orchestra doing here? Some of  the other sites are definitely more focused. When I first came here I went whaaaat? I'm pretty much done with this robot sh*t and juvenile why don't girls like prog threads.  Yup the robot sh*t is tiresome, and we all wish M@X would come to his sense... And yes, the women thread is definitely not the bestthread around, but if you're stopping at that, then don't let the door hit you in the back after you slam it when leaving this place The quicker the better

Hahaha

I haven't had the captcha for a while but on my last post I did. Unfortunately because my work Internet is sh*te at the moment, the web page couldn't connect to the captcha, so I got the pictures with street signs, ticked them, then got a long code that I had to copy and paste into a text box.
