Ashley Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 (edited) good to see this site hasn't sunk dispite what the Village idiot dishwasher on the other site thinks. I was baned from there for daring to give him some of his own medicine but keep spooning it up to him weasel!

Chief Stipe Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 No not sunk. Still chugging along. To be fair not making any ground but haven't lost any either. I had to make some hosting changes this week which involved shifting to a different server. Was paying huge costs for a lot of storage I didn't need. I entrusted the last part of the transition with the host company thinking it would be easier. However I was wrong. Add to that the archaic internet infrastructure we have in this country there was a lag time between when things came live in the new server. If you lived in Europe like Bulgaria or Albania you wouldn't have seen any outage. Some BOAY members thought that I had suspended their accounts but in fact it was the old server account that had been suspended. On reflection the NZ TAB would be be better hosted offshore than with Spark. I suspect that the Trackside streaming is using similar services to Spark Sport. The reality is all they are doing is retailing off the back of overseas vendors. They were a bit mischievous in blaming overseas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Centaur Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 I am going to make an official complaint. Any site that publishes incorrect information is bound to correct the information if its of say commercial significance. Racecafe i.e. Lee Mckenzie published and inferred that BOAY had closed. When I pointed out that it was fake news I was retaliated against by being banned from Racecafe i.e. posting. I've posted there ever since it started in year 2000. Thats almost 20 years. Retaliation is something that authorities in many spheres take seriously so I am expecting good response. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand Weasel didn't get a lot of love either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest CrossCodes Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 To be fair a bit of communication would have been nice to let people know there were issues. My account was ‘suspensed’ for 3 days, then when I tried again and come back there is nothing from admin to say anything was wrong? How were people to know if it was a fault of ours or yours if you don’t communicate with your posters? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How were people to know if it was a fault of ours or yours if you don’t communicate with your posters? It was nowhere near three days! Plus YOUR account was never suspended. The internet in some places was pointing to the wrong server. Depending on where you lived in NZ some wouldn't have experienced any issues. The main telcos in NZ can't get their shyte together and we have third world performance. Major DNS nodes in the world make the changes in minutes. In NZ it was all over the place. In some cases those sitting behind a corporate DNS server could have taken days. But that is just bad practice on their part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I’m saying is if you knew there were issues a simple post letting people know or a quick apology wouldn’t have gone amiss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I appreciate what you are saying but from my perspective it seemed to be largely OK. If you did have two days down then I am assuming you were trying to access from a corporate environment where their DNS update policy is archaic. Probably their network provider is Spark!

SLB2.0 Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 When I saw the message I immediately assumed BOAY was having server issues. You would think that niller Scooby and his bum-buddy Leo would understand that's what the message meant. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freda Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 Well, I am an utter muppet when it comes to things technical... but even i worked out ( finally ) that it was a server issue, deleted my shortcut and re loaded the site from Google. Straight through after that. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Centaur Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 My beef is this its quite simple. Racecafe professes to be a news site. Therefore if someone points out the "news" is fake that should be listened to. Just imagine if major news sites took the attitude if you submit an objection to fake news you are banned or deleted etc. Quite frankly Racecafe does not deserve the free news feeds from Racing Desk with that attitude. 1 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However I must say if it wasn't for the generosity of BOAY subscribers BOAY would have sunk. It does cost money to run these sites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
