:( WHY is it offline more than it is online? WHAT is happening here? Any ideas? I figured THIS time it would never come back! :(

I feel the same way! I wonder sometimes if I like this board too much because I wind up relying on it and then it's not online, like today.

I know the administrator doesn't like it to be offline anymore than we do, but I wish there was an announcement or a sticky somewhere stating what happens. (Or if there is, I just haven't noticed?)

I figure that they are not buying as much bandwidth as they have in the past and thus this will cause these kinds of problems

I couldn't agree more. It's getting REALLY frustrating! I almost feel like Alex just doesn't care much about this site anymore. He used to be good about keeping us informed about any problems that caused downtime but at least back then the downtime days were few and far between. Now it's down more than up it seems. And on Black Friday to boot! Worse time for this site to be down. And then when it FINALLY comes back up we don't hear a word about what the problem is. :confused: I love it here, but man, it's getting FRUSTRATING!

Would someone please PM me the other site mentioned? I would really appreciate it.

THANKS, tsquared! THIS might explain the problem.

I bet, however, that a lot of us who love this board so much would send in a small donation(maybe from paypal?) to help this board run more regularly. I can only speak for myself about this but it is an idea to maybe keep it up and running, IF money is the reason it is regularly down. This might be an ABSURD idea, but I thought I would just throw it out there. Comments? THANKS! :)

That's a nice gesture but according to some of the posts I have read in the past I don't think money is the issue. ;)

Do you have some idea, then, as to why the board is down so often?(guess I missed these posts)

I'm not sure exactly what causes it to go down other that what one member has already mentioned which is the amount of bandwidth, but it has been said that the owner has other business ventures that he has made a priority and that this board is the least of his worries. I'm assuming that when it does go down that fixing it is not at the top of his to do list.

THANKS, Patchouli!! :( Sounds like this board is not gonna be around much longer. I HOPE I am wrong, but if it is such a low priority maybe one day it will be no priority. SO SAD but much much we can do about it. c'est la vie!

I don't come here as often as I used to. I go to a couple of differnet boards now. Like a travel site and a tv message board that everyone snarks on different tv shows. I know it's not a freebie site but it is quite fun. If you would like the addy email me: katkat777@hotmail.com

Do not post links to other boards. I deleted them this time, instead of pulling them like I did in the other thread. I will not take the time to do it next time. Instead, I will just remove the thread. If you want to email those asking, fine, but the board cannot be used to promote other boards.

You can do different google searches and find a thousand different freebie boards to check out, just use different search word combinations, like "free samples" "freebie message boards" "free sample site" etc. I have found more sites than I can handle that way. ;)

I've had it too. I can't believe it's up again now! I used to check this every morning and every night like clockwork. Not any more. For months, BBS has been totally unreliable.

I hate to say it after all these years, but send me the link(s) too.

Honestly I am amazed that Alex kept the site this long.
See how other sites are charging fees and asking for memberships? Alex didn't go there.
I think we were more of a hobby for him. :)

So Thanks, Alex for 5 years of full mailboxes, secret bonus Christmas money, and all of the great things that have happened to me just because of this site.
I made and lost a few moderators here as friends but I wouldn't trade ANY of it.

Finally someone said what I have been thinking..I am so greatful for finding BBS...I have met alot of wonderful people, gotten a ton of free stufff, made alot of money in surveys, found many great deals and have had a place to visit when I am happy or sad...I would rather have it "broken" than not at all...I know the mods have no control over the problems here and if Alex is busy thats OK, so far he has gotten around to fixing it and I will accept that....So, THANK YOU ALEX, BBS & all the people here!!

I do so appreciate this board being up and running for so long and I appreciate the administrator doing all the work needed to keep it here for us. I JUST WISH that we had been given a heads up that he no longer has the time for BBS. MAYBE someone else would have taken over or if anyone had known that this great board would be going under? I am sad and disappointed that this wonderful board is no longer available for us on a regular basis and each time it goes down I figure it will never be up again(AND I BET THIS WILL HAPPEN SOON!).

I don't feel that the administrator owes us anything, but a brief explanation prior to it being down days on end would have be nice. IF that were done, we would thank him and move on.
