Dear Justin,Dear justin , I am writing this letter on behalf of the BBR members who would like to know what is currently going on at BBR. In recent days, we have noticed many changes to the site, most notable, the change to the posting tags. In addition, we have noticed that BBR has been offline for maintenance more than usual. I for one am very curious as to what is occurring. These are some of my questions: What was the reasoning behind changing the posting tags? Why where the stars removed? Was it because there was too great a load on the server? Are there any plans to bring back the stars? Or can we assume the stars are gone for good? Is there a problem with the BBR servers handling the current load? Are there any problems with the database used to store BBR? Or are the database updates just for optimization? Finally, and most importantly, what are your future plans for BBR? Any new and exciting improvements you would like to share with us? Thank you for taking the time to respond. Lastly, I would like to thank you and the other employees at BBR for making this the best forum on the internet, period. Respectfully, enOehT Please sign below to thank justin |

I know you asked for justin, but I can pop some. quote: What was the reasoning behind changing the posting tags?
quote: Why where the stars removed? Was it because there was too great a load on the server?
Nope, we still have "post whores". It became dumb after awhile. It's no longer fun is my best guess. quote: Are there any plans to bring back the stars? Or can we assume the stars are gone for good?
I dunno. quote: Is there a problem with the BBR servers handling the current load?
Not at all. Upgraded servers and trying to optimize it and working the bugs out. 2.6 kernel and RAID is fun. quote: Are there any problems with the database used to store BBR? Or are the database updates just for optimization?
I dunno. quote: Finally, and most importantly, what are your future plans for BBR? Any new and exciting improvements you would like to share with us?
Not for me. I want to do an international doctor ping database with drop down selectors to switch in the current one, no new programs required. (ie: canada, uk, aussieland, taiwan), but there hasn't been much demand for it so on the back burner it goes. The only thing is, people tend to get pissed when they have 20mbps of incoming pings 24/7. |

I don't expect any response from him, and I don't think anyone else should either. this is his site, he's god, prime minister, president, dictator, whatever and he doesn't have to explain his actions. if he chooses to, so be it. I don't care one bit |

No, I guess to a certain degree he doesn't have to explain his actions. But when people are as outraged as they are now, a certain explanation is in order; not just some marketing-type response (AKA go Premium to change it, even though you really can't and these rehashes are just crap). |

Outraged? hehe. People were outraged when the "top bar" disappeared. They got used to it. You'll get used to this as well. Really. |

Top bar? I know I'll get used to it. I already have, really, because I used a custom code in "I see people". |

Why not just have justin shut down the site, so maybe you guys who dislike it create something better than this online community like DSLR? |

I am also a member of another forum that at least explains the changes so when people start "crying and whining" they know its not a fault and it is intentional. Sure the "I See People" changes I have HAD to make to make the sidebar bearable is a step forward but the lack of communication by the Lord thy God Justin is what pisses me off. A simple post to explain takes little time and would help a lot of people. That all in all leads me to SIGN |

Almost 3 years ago I found a site that would change the way I surf the internet, and I have not left since. This place, more than any other, is where I go for a laugh, for different views on various parts of life, for information on updates to router firmware, for just about anything I can think of. Stars, avatars, posting tags are fun, but are purely superficial. It's the people behind the posts, and the post themselves that actually matter. If this site went all text only, it would not make any difference to me at all. If I can't find what I'm looking for in 10 million posts, then I surely don't need to find it. This is home, and I think a little rearranging of the furniture is good every once in awhile. Justin, and all those that make this site jump onto my screen every day have my respect and gratitude. And this expression of my thoughts justly deserves to be my 500th post. |
