I've poked KingOfPain again in the Diablo 3 forum, in a thread where he's posting daily. I've also messaged him in private, which he has not responded to. I hope that this will get the message across. I would hate to think that the site owner is deliberately ignoring these problems.

Somehow I am not getting my PMs.
Things are getting worked on, tho not at the speed everyone and I like. You (everyone) don't need to be bothered with the reasons as to why, I am willing to take the full blame. Just don't get too insulting

Weird spambot: http://realmsbeyond.net/forums/showpost....ostcount=7
I had another snarky reply typed up, but it's probably better to just calmly remind people that KoP clearly has been made aware of the various issues. Angry/insulting posts 'reminding' him probably aren't doing a lot of practical good.

Before he finally responded (after things got mean), his last post in here was: KingOfPain Wrote:I am having issue gaining access to the servers myself. The last server move screwed all my accesses to this and my other sites. Even got son (NiteTales) willing to work on the problems, on top of T Hawk and Doc D. I am very grateful for the help, and patience from the members. Things might go at a RB pace, but I promise things will get fixed before RB blows up In May. Better communication on the state of things would really be appreciated.
Spam in both the EitB forum and PBEM overforum.

Angry/insulting posts 'reminding' him probably aren't doing a lot of practical good. At a certain points as adults we need to cast aside our slavish respect for authority and demand that steps be taken to ensure the forums are safe for ourselves and others. It is entirely possible that the year+ delay in removing the Google hack from this site has already caused thousands of dollars in damage to people whose only offense was to try to read some Civ / FFH / whatever reports. For the uninitiated, when attempting to reach RB via Google search, some users are redirected to a site which hosts aggressive malware. When internet negligence can (and likely has) cause real life harm, it's okay to get a little upset. Quote:Things are getting worked on, tho not at the speed everyone and I like. You (everyone) don't need to be bothered with the reasons as to why, I am willing to take the full blame. I do not want to insult you, KoP. Despite my sarcastic response to Sunrise above, I do not see what good throwing personal attacks around would do. But some of the issues facing RB are very serious, and not just in a "will my browsing pleasure be slightly disrupted by outdated software" way. People have posted fixes for the Google hack in this very subforum. Multiple times. When will you be able to implement them, or appoint someone to be in a position to do so? |
