Please, please, please fix this site.

If you can't adjust to the site, just remember, the site isn't going to adjust to you.

If the site cannot adjust performance to meet basic expectations of functionality for the larger public it will continue to die. This isn't something I want, but it is the truth. Site traffic continues to decrease. For the second or third year in a row traffic at the normally busiest time for this forum has had a muted surge if any. The new user funnel is continuing to suffer increasing damage, user retention continues to be negatively impacted, and acaligunner seems to be singlehandedly trying to prop up user engagement (kudos to him btw).

You misunderstood I think. If you try to access the site when it is down, it is down. If you try to access it when it is up, it is up. If the site goes down more often around certain times of day, and those happen to be times when you would usually log on, then you will perceive things one way. If you happen to log on at times when it is more likely to be up, then you will perceive things another way. The user's behavior has not influenced the site availability, but it has influenced the user's experience and perceptions.

Yes - you're right, I did.

In times past, there were several people blaming lag or gateway issues on users themselves, their faulty equipment, or internet speed, and that's what I thought to which you were alluding - read it too fast.

But reading it again, now I see your point how as to an individual's access schedule could give the impression it's always down if in fact Calguns is down for repairs or goes rogue at those same times each day they coincidentally repeatedly try to log on.

I jumped the Calgun on that. My mistake.

this is the only site I know that is consistently iffty-50 as to whether it works. Its a real mystery. AFAIK its not "down for all users" because I'm not seeing any big "Wow, we all back now" messages.

I bet some nerds would be interested in seeing WTF is going on "under the hood".

You seem to be the only person that has this problem.



(And would be a blessing, if only that were true.)

It seems to be getting worse lately, not better.

I think it's because they are finally working on it as Kes noted.

I try maybe once a day. Hasn't worked for about a week for me. Truly sad to see.

This site hardly works long enough to form an opinion. Obviously no one is going to fix it.

Works more often than not for me. But I jump on multiple times a day at different times.

At this point, even if they posted Calguns.net for sale in the marketplace, you know that one second before you click the button to send your PM, the site is gonna crash.
