And you're still flaming. AND ruining the flow of this question. Just let it GO and move on.

Sheesh. Kids.

Whatever, Goshujin nao arai!!! Japanese translation: YOUR STILL RUDE

Blackearth_BIOSHOCK -> When I last checked, when a person has an issue
with the site, they are encouraged to respond and to register their
feelings. No amount of finger-wagging and flaming from you is going to change
that.

ilena12 -> Despite what Blackearth_BIOSHOCK said,
with her blatant flames, I share the same frustrations you have (and
others have) over the fan fiction glitches. And steet has said that
he is working to correct them (in a related thread I posted recently).
So don't worry about the flame. The point I made is valid, and so is
yours.

Jerseycaptain->your site is freewebs, isn't it? Freewebs takes care of
everything for you, same for proboards. When you make a site from
scratch there is a lot more. My mom designs websites for people as her
job. She makes them from scratch and I watched her once and didn't
understand anything. She had to use HTML codes, and a lot more tricky
things, and those were just sites, not forums. A forum site is harder
to manage, especially a big one. Balto Source is a popular site and
until you make a forum site from scratch with a lot of options and fun
sections/activities and manage it perfectly, you shouldn't complain
that website owners should manage their site perfectly and when they
don't make excuses that they're not working hard enough. That's rude
and mean. People on Balto Source don't want to hear others be
rude-it's very ANNOYING. Stop being disrespectful and rediculous, end
of conversation!!!!

ileana12-> JerseyCaptain is complaining about the site. He is blaming
steet for not having enough time to manage everything on the site. I
told him a lot of people are buisy, even the kids and teens, but he
thinks that not having enough time is just an excuse. Also, a lot of
people on the site are good people, not all spammers and
troublemakers. No one can be perfect, JerseyCaptain, not even you or
your 30-60 site members.

okaaaaaaaaaaay... thanks for the answers. even if it doesnt change the
situation i like to know whats going on.

Blackearth_BIOSHOCK -> That is a matter of perspective. It could also
be construed as justifiable frustration with stuff which seems to pop
up again and again. And for every revision, there seems to be a new
(or recurring) glitch. That's justifiable cause to complain.

I maintain a website and forum. I am an adult, with adult
responsibilities (a career, a dependent, bills to pay, etc.). And
yet, I find a way to stay on top of my site. Sure, I didn't program
it from scratch. But I am on regularly to deal with member concerns
and problems which may crop up. And, unlike a large site populated
mostly by kids and teens (who LOVE to cyberbully), I don't have to
deal with constant spamming, flaming, and clique issues. Because I
and my moderators keep a TIGHT rein upon the site. Does that mean we'll always have less members than the vaunted Balto Source list? Sure. And I'm happy about that. I'd rather have 30-60 GOOD members than a mostly-inactive army which consists in large part of spammers, flamers and troublemakers, or else people who show up a few times, and then never again.

Period.

steet -> I didn't say that, now did I? You have a bad habit of
reading into my statements. Not a good idea. I maintain, however,
that if you create a site, you have a responsibility to maintain it,
or delegate those duties to someone who can. Farm out the work to
someone who can be online more, then. And who knows how...

Jerseycaptain -> that was kinda rude. There are a lot of buisy people
on Balto Source. I'm no website owner but I do know it requires a lot
of work, so be respectful not only to Steet and the mods, but to
everyone on the site.

jerseycaptain -> So you would prefer that I would put the site
offline, then? Sorry but it's not my philosophy. Better a site with a
few bugs than nothing at all. Besides, this isn't even a bug.

To answer the question, this is something I have added very
quickly, and I would need to update the system so that any mods can
change it instantly. But it's not THAT easy, I have to take many
things into consideration (like for example, putting the query into
cache so that it doesn't take too much speed from the site as it's
something displayed on EVERY page)
