This forum is now worthless. I wish Taunton would just shut it down or quit playing games, I'm fed up. They probably just want the spammers to continue so they can get more money for advertising, but they don't seem to care if it's still a useable forum. The server issue is a perplexing one because the rest of taunton seems to work.

the sad thing is i keep checking back hoping they did something about it...guess its time to move on.
?
Did you notice how the other sections of their empire are fine. I really liked the section on building an office desk out of pallets. Fine Pallet Building! NOT!

It seems the server is back up to speed. It isn't blazing fast yet, but any speed lost from the server switch seems to have been recovered.
Hi guys,
I understand you're frustrated, but keep in mind it's a forum and it is being worked on. The new server will pan out in the end and allow the changes/improvements to happen.
I went in and removed some spam and will keep at it.
Thanks,
Matt
Color me gone.
Taunton is pathetic. I've never seen any other corporate entity that has such little regard for a small but loyal group of followers. My patience has run out. Perhaps I will check back in the future. But for the time being, I'm outta here.

since 2009. How would that work with the relationship with your significant other?

The speed is much improved, but now the advertising blocks the selection to view, Do you guys have a death wish or something?
Assuming you're talking about the ads encroching on both sides, I reported this several weeks ago. It kind of comes and goes, and when it's a problem I find that holding shift and clicking the "reload" icon in the address line usually clears it up.
If you're talking about the HD or Tyvek ad that blocks the center of the screen, you just need to X that away as soon as you see it (and before you click on it).

the slow being blamed on a server doesn't do it justice when you look at the tactics employed by our host.
Allow every Tom Dick and Harry to register, for some reason block a few of the legitimate posters and then use these numbers to show advertisers. Peruse the member visits for an example. Some of the names you'll recognize while the majority are as phony as the day is long.
on a page that I can see that has newly registered members listed I count over 300 in the last 24 hours.
to eliminate the need for a 3 or4 step process blocking each fake member and resultant spam. I asked them to auto block all that use the same first and last name registering. Never happened and never addressed.
theres been several reach out's by various staff at Taunton over the years, asking for needs and wants from the legit members here and it has come to nothing. There's a little interaction and we time after time buy into it and make a list. Easy to bullshitt people you can't see.
making money is not bad, it's how you do it where you can really muck it up.
Well, you certainly got that right. I don't know why I keep coming back, I guess it's like watching a sinking ship, or a dying forest. I see the number of posts has dwindled (excluding spam) to almost nothing.
Hell Mark
Even the most patient poster would give up waiting.
but it does give gas to those reveling in the fire.
it is baffling how little they care.
did you chage the title on this or did they?
Mark
no change from me. However, if it was altered then someone official would be the only one other than you that could. Deadnuts once thought I hid a thread miraculously for a few days and then resurrected it later. I'm not that smart and he couldn't prove that (smart) either.
its that don't give a shit attitude that got America where it is today
.
Great way
to amass a boatload of "members"

Sparrow4 has already been blocked as sparrow2. 3 is in here somewhere I'm sure.
so google hits isn't all it's cracked up to be.
One thing the slowness causes is an increased frequency of double posts.
didnt really think you did but just wanting to know who would...they catch a title that does not reflect great on them but kitchens GALORE
