One thing about BB.com that absolutley infuriates me is at least a handful of times a month I come back from the gym, go to log-on, and the I get the hourglass of death, and then after sitting for an eternity, my profile comes up blank, with no profile pic, and if I refresh, it eventually says, cannot connect to database, what the frick is your IT department doing (or not doing for that matter), I blow your site off for days when this happens (it even happened when I tried to upload this post), it is a waste of my valuable time...and it pisses me off!

Get a bigger server or stop doing updates at peak hours...

This has been an issue today: http://forum.bodybuilding.com/maintenance.jpg
I've been seeing that all morning.

Permaban. Crest_Man and others, start up multiple useraccounts and troll threads repeatedly: http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showpo...1&postcount=45
Yet they continue posting. I can give more numerous examples. That is just a small taste.
I have made many purchases from bb.com. Mods have ignored PMs and some refuse to read reports sent. It can be frustrating.

The supplement side was not functioning for me last night. Instead of making a purchasing a Protein Factory supplement, here, I went to their direct site. I prefer to buy here, even if it is more expensive, because they offer a forum with high traffic (loyalty). As I've said, you haven't been here long enough to know all the ins and outs of the site.

I know forums and I know what it requires to run them. I have run several myself. The labor involved in running a "free" forum is quite demanding and it's more frustrating when people get angry when they can't access a "free" forum. If the supplement side was indeed failing, then I guess that's lost business. I don't quite understand why anyone should be mad about it. You're not paying a membership for the privilege.
I don't have to have time here to make my point any more valid.

I never said it was easy but it is important to keep current or potential customers happy. Take away the free forum and watch profits drop. "Free" helps to generate profits. Who is going to pay for a forum that doesn't have much traffic? Free generates traffic and potential customers. Many members are on here for 8 hours a day at work. You get to know other members so many try to be loyal, in purchases, to this site. It can become a community of sorts.
