She sure does a lot of checking on database errors. That place had to be making some good money at one time. Good enough to hire a professional outfit to run the website.
What amazes me is that a lot of people would have, at one time, helped run that site for free.
Just one question:
Mr. Admin (and other site admins), how many db errors have you had in your life?
I've had crashed disks, corrupted indexes and other stuff, but never a serious db error that crippled me in that way....
Don't worry. As long as there are dollars to be made, CPF will be (sometimes) there. It may be less helpful and a years worth of posts may get lost, but it will still be there.
That "crappy software" must be acting up again.
What kills me is a lot of people rely on the CPF Marketplace to sell their items, and at random times, the site will just be down. Pretty horrible practice.
Betcha the "database" problem is that they are wiping anything having to do with favorable things said about budget lights.

i'm in.
except budget flashlights with an ad banner
I wonder if the High Priestess has ever partially refunded any of the advertising fees to those who pay for banners on the site. Not just for lost time, but also reduced views even when the site is occasionally online.
hahah
Them being down all the time just helps BLF.
Everyday they get weaker and we grow stronger!
Oh goody another I hate CPF thread.
I'm sure these threads reflect badly on BLF it doesn't help to be seen as bashing your neighbours all the time, lets get on with the real business of talking about flashlights.
Let's move on guys, if you want BLF to be the best flashlight site this isn't the way.
Agreed.
But there is a certain pleasure in schadenfreude.
Yeh, I started it coz i was so damned frustrated with the site since I started visiting it for quite a few years. Was going there to read one of Selfbuilt's reviews and for the 13,689th time the damned site was down. So, maybe I'm exaggerating by saying for the 13,689th time ....let's just round it to 13,000. lmao.. OK...made me sick now let's move on.
Want to be the best? this IS the best flashlight site.
If you are against bashing, try log in to CPF and tell them to stop budgetlight bashing.
It will be a very short thread.
Since at least 35% of your cumulative posts here have been to defend another site, what are we to think of you ?
Since I've been here I've been accused of being a troll and worse, 5% of my posts is 1.3 posts not too bad a record.
I thought you guys were promoting a friendly forum? right now I'm not getting that.
Burro, perhaps you didn't realize that you posted in the "off-topic chatter" forum? Or perhaps you disagree with the premise of such a forum? In any case, it's probably best to not take any discussion here too awfully seriously. There are plenty of other forums on BLF to discuss flashlights.
