    This website forum sucks

    Frequently not responding, timeouts, other errors, broken threads, not showing last post, displaying wrong avatar.

    Ironic that it's mainly used by IT professionals.

    The site codebase looks like its maintained by he who cant be named, but he does all the needful codes with much cheapness and plenty quickness

      I blame the chimp. . .

      The rather depressing thought is that a replacement will be worse: that's been the case for yonks.

      We all hated the previous iteration until we met this one.

        To be fair you'd expect this. I'm sure there is a term for it but skilled people rarely do unto themselves what they do for others. Worst houses in the street are the builders, plumbers and other tradesmen. I guess you do it all day you can't be arsed to do it out of work.

        There was quite a well known house in town that had a bloke living in it that did rendering. He had a board outside but his house hadn't been rendered for nearly two years. Bit of good inverse advertising as everyone spotted the irony.

            Sure it's free to us, like most forums. But someone is paying for it, and I don't imagine the web analytics look too healthy.

                The phrase I've heard is "the shoemaker's children go barefoot".

                  Yes. Be careful what you wish for.
