OH2

Wile E Coyote's Avatar
Website design companies do not work for free nor do they maintain websites for free. So the owner of OH2 pays either an annual or monthly installments to some company that manages and supports the website and pretty sure that company has an IT department. I doubt very seriously that the owner of OH2 contacts some single individual from a third world country to do so.

And since that company has not been able to fix the problems, then he might want to get another company to handle it. You guys who think you are in good with ck1942 might want to suggest that to him.

If he isn’t going to fix its problems, though, it’s time to let others take a crack at it, whether it’s TrulySummer or someone else. Originally Posted by TinMan

It's been 10 months of off and on troubles and all I've seen him say on the matter is via a handful of posts with the gist of "we're working on it, don't change your password and the security warnings are a glitch not to be worried about", but no timeline or specifics on anything. Seems like if he'd turn it over then maybe the new pilot would express more urgency and disclose more detail.

He knows that, WEC. The problem was, and may still be, that the universe of suppliers who are willing to provide such services to a site like his isn’t that big, and finding another one at whatever price he’s paying may be damn near impossible.

I’m sure if it was easy to do, he would have already done so.

It’s hard to argue otherwise at this stage of the game. Bryan is right: if he wants his legacy to survive he needs to hand oh2 off to someone who can and will be able to fix it. If Amber had made that decision when she was able aspd might have survived. I hope somehow ck1942 can do the same, but the legal environment is such that there are likely fewer takers than there was in 2009.

* OH2 is free to members, ad revenue via pop-ups is not only limited, but is decreasing as access is restricted to so many members
* The server that hosts OH2 is in Iceland (or is it Finland?) and therefore causes additional and unseen variables
* The website by nature is of an "alternative" subject matter and therefore would logically keep some more reputable and efficient exterior contractors away or reserved

And then other factors such as CKs age, location, the way guys treat him here, there and elsewhere plus many other potential variables are not really in our favor either.

People tend to jump on his case and lash out at him for not providing us with a smooth and efficient site, but I think if we take a look at the big picture then we begin to understand why we're experiencing such issues. If we're paying for a site and experience issues then that's one thing, but I think it's wrong for people to flex their chest with the "entitlement" attitude for sure, all things considered.

He may be providing the service for free to members, but he does get to dictate the rules the members have to abide by to be able to participate on his site.

If you live in a house and your roof is leaking or it is so old and worn out that you need a new one, it does not matter what your budget is or anything else, you have to pay somebody to fix it, regardless of your age, where your location is, ect. or eventually it's going to get worse and you're not going to be able to live there anymore. Or in the OH2 case, eventually all the members are going to flee the site and never log in again.

Or like your analogy, not do anything or pay the cheapest guy you can find to do a Band-Aid fix and the next time it rains the holes just get bigger, but just be thankful that the house is paid off and at least you're not living in a cardboard box under the overpass bridge, right?

Bryan is NOT wrong Coyote. You have no idea what you are talking about, as far as OH2 is concerned and maybe otherwise also.

I do not like typing all that much but I would be happy to buy you a cup of coffee one day and discuss this with you. Mt offer stands for the middle of the day at a Starbucks in Los Colinas..

It's really going to extremes to be comparing the admin of a website to a home owner or tenant, but um....okay? Also, when making home repairs, you pool together funding from multiple sources/residents/investors/etc and OH2 has no pool to draw from. It's just really hard (as a rational thinking person) to consider this comparison a serious one.

And then as far as being a "ck apologist all the time", I guess your perception is your reality and all that, but me and others just laying out some facts and ideas about the situation shouldn't be considered being an "apologist" so much as a "realist."

Also, no, ck and I aren't engaging in any homosexual activities like you're clearly inferring as being a possibility....but if we were, fuck it, what would be wrong with that? Trust me, if ck and I were gay lovers like your accusation firmly implies, our pillow talk would consist of the current website situation and direction it's headed in and you'd see screenshots of our activities in my reviews.

Running a free website vs fixing a leaky roof...pffft....

Getting laid these days has required an increased level of effort and patience and I am simply not a fan :/
