CMP Forum down again

[willie8]

CMP has always had problems with their server. It does not take much to shut it down. They have been bringing in a lot of revenue especially with the price increases. The forum (which doe not generate revenue) is outdated - even though it was upgraded. I think they got screwed on this one. The CMP staff is great - too bad their computer system is not up to par.

I'm sure Orest realizes that the forum does indeed generate a lot of revenue when it works. There are a lot of forum lurkers and participants that have been convinced that their dollars are well spent at CMP as a direct result of threads on the forum, and it makes no sense to assume otherwise just because forum use isn't a pay to play scheme.

Don't know if it applies to this discussion, but my experience is most people looking for a Hosting Server go one way....cheap. I know of several incidents with cheap hosting that have created problems after problems after problems.

What many do not realize is today you can spend a lot less than 10 years ago and get a great amount of download and storage. But it will cost a little more than the cheapies.

Hosting today is so cheap, it makes no sense to go with the lower end.
