Re: New server is coming...

You can hide this advertisement by registering.
That argument is worth little value considering it was the owners who first decided to offer premium membership. As a business, if you are unable to produce the product, then do not attempt to sell it. Obviously the owners think they are immune from this rule; selling premium membership without the access would be something consumer affairs would be interested in. It irritates me because I can rarely access the website.

Re: New server is coming...

I don't think the owners think they are immune, they are doing the best they can and bringing in things when they can. I think they do their very best and sometimes things are unforseeable or take time. People complain when the site is down for maintenence, yet how else can problems be fixed. It looks like they are waiting till the post HSC results rush to ensure that the site is working and not screwing up (which can happen with upgrades) besides by the time your HSC roles around the upgrade will have taken place, let the people who are currenlty doing their HSC be sure that the site is at least running for the next few days.

if you're dissatisfied by the product then dont buy it?
honestly, you can use most of BOS' features for free so if they dont meet your standards just leave.

Re: New server is coming...

The servers were just fine before I purchased premium membership therefore your argument fails. Leaving is your solution? is that for everything? I feel sorry for your future wife, you will "just leave", right?
Where is the common sense in "just leaving"? Blue, a valid reply would of been, "just leave highway, you are a moron!".

Re: New server is coming...

Yes but there servers are only bad at the peak times and really there is little that can be done to help that. It will be all fine soon enough, be patient. Honestly, I know I was like this too but all HSC and pre-HSC kids thinks the world revolves around them sometimes.

Re: New server is coming...

I don't think the world revolves around me. I understand errors can occur, and computer systems are just as vulnerable.
You know what I am saying is correct, but yet you keep making excuses in an attempt to bandage the bullshit, why? To assume everyone is like you (I know I was like this too but all HSC and pre-HSC kids thinks...) contradicts your “world revolving” insult.
The site seems to be quite stable at the moment, so let us stop wasting our time bickering and productively use it by ripping the resources.

No, it would make more sense to tell you that if you're not happy with the 'product', then go and find it somewhere else. Any smart customer who felt (rightly or wrongly) that they were being ripped off or not given a fair go would do just that, shop somewhere else.

This is the kind of comment that shows just how much of an inconsiderate little twerp you are. Consumer affairs? You're kidding right?

You can post new threads, there's just a bug in the forum at the moment that means people can't view the threads.
