lately this sight has been having problems and i was just woundering if the people that run this sight arnt able to locate the problems or havent been checking it

[DragnDrop]

Could you be more specific?

i would like to add to this post. the only mod i have seen on the forum and active in the least bit has been DragnDrop. where are linds, snakeyez, shane tesser, alien regalis, etc.? if they are not active (which they havent been in the past few months), i think the should be demoted to regular members. they shouldnt be moderators if they arent ever going to look at the site again.

Mods are volunteers, not paid. If you have time to check the site, clean and tidy up, keep the peace etc., then you show up. If life interferes and you can't check in for a while, then you don't. It's not a paid job where you have to come in to work 'or else you get demoted or fired'.

The site was down for a while off and on lately. The error messages I got suggested upgrades and server maintenance. Those things happen on any site, it's not a 'problem with ssnakess.com'
Avatars seem to be gone, possibly permanent, I have no clue. This isn't the only site on the 'net without them. Graphics are often turned off, some sites don't even allow/have smilies. It would appear the photo gallery is disabled, lots of people are upset. Why would this make the site worse? Pictures can be hosted in various places and posted in forums, it shouldn't make much difference to the quality of life here for the members.

The meat of the forum should be discussion, if you rate it by the avatars and free photo gallery albums for the members, then you're missing a few things.

Change of ownership and a few new forums started the exodus from here. I don't know for sure but suspect it costs a good sum of money to keep a forum like this going. Cutting back on frills makes it easier on the budget. There's no income generated here, it's all freebies. I can understand the changes being made to save on expenses. Better to have a scaled down version and keep it going than a fancy one with all the bells and whistles which disappears due to the expense.

I hope that ssnakess makes a come-back... I miss all the old timers

i understand what youre saying but im on your side here lol. some of these "mods" have not been on here since i joined on 11/15/04 and for them to be listed as mods just doesnt make sense to me. YOU (DragnDrop) are, IMO, the only real mod on this forum. you are the only one that has replied to any threads to mods to help people out. i just think that the "mods" that never come on here should not have "authority" over other members. i realize that you can't change their status though so ill shutup now
