Mr Charisma 0 Report post Posted August 1, 2008 Just wondering if anyone else has encountered absolutely horrid response time from Groupee's servers, particularly over the last week or so. I could have sworn that about 6 weeks ago they upgraded us to a new server, so what exactly is the problem and what efforts are underway to resolve it? Is that "new server" a leftover Texas Instrument special? 1) Is anyone else experiencing this problem? 2) Is anyone attempting to correct it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Live or Die Magic 383 Report post Posted August 1, 2008 It's an ongoing issue, not likely to be resolved soon. I can tell you this....the Magic organization has to weigh the response time and overall satisfaction of service with Groupee against the absolutely ridiculous sweetheart deal that Groupee gives them. I don't think that this message board is viewed as a "must have" by any of the Magic brass that make business/financial decisions. So, I for one would rather suffer occasional Groupee heartburn than to lose the boards altogether. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also, I'm very curious to see how things related to the boards play out long-term now that our biggest proponent (and founder), Matt Gardner, is no longer with the organization.

Yeah, this is my concern, too. I didn't really think about it being an issue until the day when MCR guy came in and went bonkers, and the Magic did not seem to have anyone that knew how (or had the authority) to block his IP address until hours later. That let me know that Matt was what drove this board, and it is not a priority for Magic management. Again, I'm not bashing them for it. It's a business decision. Now, the FSN/BrightHouse issue I'll bash them for.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jack daniel 999 27 Report post Posted August 1, 2008 As long as we have the option to come here I'll deal with it... we still are the best MAGIC site out there. even tho it could be better. I guess until we get that championship and so many members they can't deny us it will probably be this way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
