Fix The Site Or Shut It Down

[striker777]

it's a lot better than it was but... the transition still is sucking seems like children are trying there best to fix things but to no avail. 20% of the time does not cut it.

Its new and it does not work, and that’s … well … it’s just no-fun.

1. The old forum worked all the time, this one work 20% of the time.
2. The search engine sucks, we need the be able to search sub forums.
3. What happened to the seller feedback?

We need to fix this. If calguns.net is all volunteer I say thank you.

We have 352,138 Members with 7,373 showing as Active. Maybe a go-fund-me could rase the needed money to pay a pro to address the issues.

The site is working better than it was just 3 or 4 months ago. Is it 100%? No. Is it only 20%? No. The sense I get, but I could be wrong, is some of it has to do with the device you're using; i.e., the site doesn't seem to be universally playing well, yet, with all devices and all browsers.

The search engine is working 'better' than it was after the changes; but, it still has issues. However, it depends on what you're trying to accomplish as to how successful your searches will be. There are some work arounds which have been posted, but I don't think anyone, including Kestryll, is entirely happy, yet. It's just a guess, but I would think the search is something being worked on and many of us assume that some of the more 'protracted' times when the site can't be reached is when the work is being done.

If by 'seller feedback,' you mean iTrader, you might see my post... Here.

The last word we saw was that the site fixes were beyond Kestryll's ability to handle and he has allowed DrJonesUSA and his team access. Unfortunately, we found the update saying they were only working on it part time on another site and there is some... 'sensitivity'... to linking to anything in relation to that site as many members, both here and on that site, feel it is a direct competitor to this one; not to mention the self-described 'guerilla marketing' campaign that site's owner engaged in on this site. (That individual has since 'scrubbed' the majority of his posts from this site.)

That's the F-ing problem. It doesn't work consistently at all for the majority of people that are members and who try to sign in. This site will die. Why would anyone waste time, get a cyber kick in the teeth for wasting their effort on this site when management won't make the necessary efforts to fix it. There are children running better sites all over the web.

I disagree. The site works almost always for me daily. Occasionally its loading slow, but almost always works.

Actually, for the past month it has been working 90+% for me.

I expect CalGuns will (sadly) disappear one day. The vendors and supporters will stop sending money (we see posts from folks canceling their subscriptions) and the site can't be cheap to run after the additional processors and memory.

life is good! trump is back, doge is effective, illegals are scared and deported, good looking first lady , dei gone, stupid made up genders gone, joe and kommie-la gone ...... enjoy life for now and don't let small inconvenience sour your day.

to me, there are really only two big issues. 1. There is no way to do a search in a specific category- only a forum-wide search. 2. on mobile (safari) there is no way to do a search period.

Been able to access early mornings, Fri evenings and Saturdays, plus whenever the site owner is around to manually do something on the backend (site available times align with non working hours).

It seems like I can only get on here 20% of the time. Seriously, fix this website or just close it down.

They've done studies, you know. 20% of the time, it works every time.

Jrs...have feelings.

Do you contribute financially to the site? If not, then you're getting it for free, and the spirit of "beggars can't be choosers" comes to mind. If you don't like CalGuns, you don't have to be here.

Hey, junior members have a lot of say here
