It's not just the fact that it's slow. It's the horsecrap attitude.

What other forums are available? This was the 1st I found 3 years ago, and I stopped looking.

Just curious.

How much do you all pay to use this forum?

Our mere presence is payment.

You see, this site uses Google AdSense. Ever notice those funny little ads on the top of the page (especially the ones from bat doctors)? Google pays the site's owners a fixed fee for each time those ads are loaded and viewed on a page. Every time we click one of those ads, they get a little more.

So by simply being here, we are, in effect paying them.

And if people stop coming here...

There are other options out there. One has already been named in this thread. This used to be, far and away, the best option available, and for the time being may still be. However, the moderation around here has gone from one of being user friendly, and thanking individuals when they report SPAM, to being more pro-SPAM, allowing it to stay for days, and then banning members who report it for given periods of time. This is causing many of the old guard, myself included, to wonder about the customer service goals of officiating.com and its forum.
