Some folks have jumped on a bandwagon and taken this thing unrealistically far. Your whipping yourselves up into a misplaced frenzy. Relax. Show some respect. Report the problems, then back off and allow them sort to it out as they can. If your unhappy about the progress then state for the record your dissatisfaction and move on. There is nothing left of this dead horse you've been beating. Your having your fun at the expense of others. There is no purpose in how far this has gone. Say your piece and let it go. Have your fun and express your creative wit in a more appropriate thread.
WhiteElk, many of us have been around a good deal longer than you have and have watched the 'evolution' of this problem to a point where the site we paid to subscribe to [and many of us with several subscriptions] has become slow, and 'booming' to the point of unusability.
Patience is a virtue, and we have been. I don't think slapping whitewash on the site will turn it into a luxury condo...what is the point if the problem is how the code is written or how the servers are working....or whatever it is? If things aren't functional, then they need to be fixed. If no one at SD can do it, then please get someone who can. We paid money to be here, and we're entitled to point out the problems, individually or in a group.
If you wish, The OP could be called "Forums Problems Thread". I tried doing that a year and a half ago to try and sum up the problems individual members were having and features that weren't working well. You see how far that got. It was done to help Bara whom I happen to like a good deal, but that doesn't mean he's being employed to do that.
People will continue to let SD know when things aren't working, and that's their duty as Community Members.
I think you should realize that this Community has lost a lot of people because of various problems, but Forum performance is among them.
We want the Community we're all members of to be functional. If you object to how folks express themselves, then perhaps you should address those members. However, people will continue to express themselves [I hope politely] with or without your agreement.
