| I think our forum is dying.
We're barely hanging on!
Look at the oldest post on this page, it's from over two months ago!
Someone put us in the iron lung! Get the crash cart ready! I think we're about to have a crash!

It is just like every tech ever claimed, the network works fine if there are no users, it was those damned users all along! |

Sigh...fond memories of the "triangle" and 65% packetloss those were the days this forum was cranking then things got better and the posts slowed down. Having said that there were some real interesting threads back then the Hicker/Hob debates and also some guy named Web something(maniac) who always seemed to liven up the pot.It has been an interesting 6 years kind of sad to see it go.So here's to the ole Adelphia forum in all it's finest.

I agree with all that it is sad to see this forum die.
Back in the Adelphia days, this forum was alive with people looking for help. Adelphia didn't mind techs posting here, so it was even better to have REAL ADELPHIA TECHS post here.
I know Road Runner/Time Warner doesn't allow their tech to post at BBR. Which I find real sad because it is allot of help.
How may Adelphia users where helped by a tech on line?
How many people bitch about lack of help in Road Runner or Comcast forums?
The idea not to allow techs to post seems real stupid to me.

So if tech were allowed to post, then perhaps they could choose who to respond to and help depending upon the OP location. If many techs were able to respond, then it should help cover most of the area.
To me, it just seems more logical to let techs post help online as well as in their call centers. Many calls can be eliminated by this.
Just think of how many people wher helped here in the Adelphia forum. Who came for help rather then calling. I realize the amount of posters here are less then a few % of what would be calling, but still. That little bit helps.
But again. This is only my opinion, not a rant.

Oh if I could only find the thread with the links to the City of Los Angeles moratorium that was holding up the upgrades and the "debate" Emhinks and I had.

Back in the old days Ameritech Techs were prohibited(in fact if you even mentioned DSLR while on a call it was like you just asked to have sex with their Mom) from helping here(some still did on the sly) now there is a Direct Forum. I don't understand why official Techs should be prohibited from helping here saving a support call when MOST problems are in fact on the users end and some of those that are on the providers end could be fixed straight away without a support call - "I can take a look when I go in and see what's up", "You need to change your EMail settings - the servers have changed", etc..

Well the bottom line is, once everyone has been migrated to their new provider there will no longer be an "Adelphia" so a forum dedicated to it would be pointless.
Most are now migrated so the traffic here is very low.
How about a thread - "Damn, Adelphia wasn't so bad after all"
