This server is crap

When is RIU going to get a big boy server/provider? This has got to be the worse server and code writing ever for any site. Id be embarrassed if I owned the site to keep using unreliable always down servers.We are going to get a new server and not use this piece of crap service soon right?

Well....................you don't own it, the mods @ RIU do. If you have issues then you could always go elsewhere where they have it all together for your expert satisfaction. Lastly, you've been on here for 7+ years. Surely you could have found a site to match your particular sensibilities................................or can you?kiss-ass

Today R.I.U. has been down all day in the UK, don't know if that's just a UK thing or Global?? I thought >

a) The Servers must be finally being swapped?
b) The Spam Bots had finally brought down R.I.U.
c) The site hadn't paid its Fees??
d) The site owner had been Busted??
e) The site had been stolen by Aliens
f) The "Likes" had been switched back on and the Shit had really hit the fan...

Peace

Awesome!! what day out...want one!!

free things... they tend to be of mediocre quality

My milkshakes bring all the boys to the yard boys to the yard your damn right its better than yours your damn right its better than yours

Oh and by the way it affected the US too

What I don't understand is why not put up a simple index.HTML that's says something like " our site is temporarily down... blah blah blah" then when its back, remove it.

It takes all of 30 seconds to do...

Ahhhh mtgeezer I love the newer folks who havent been here since the beginning. If you had been, which you havent been unlike myself, you would also get frustrated as the original site was setup way better. Also yeah the mods do not own the site if you don't even know that I suggest you sit quietly as it's over your head. Roll owns the site and is in charge of the servers and most of the code changes. You should also keep in mind while myself and the other longtime posters and members do not own the site we have help build it and attract the people to this site. So that in mind the users make the site the draw not the owner so if we have concerns we should voice them to let them be known. Idiots who say nothing in life and just take the ass raping have no voice. I just think its about time to use the ad rev and google hit money to get on a real off shore stable server. Now go sit down and when you grow a pair you can come speak up or if not.....you can kiss all of the original members ass..pucker up

I agree with the old site being better, the grow faq was helpful for newbs but this seems like a harsh reaction to not being able to get on riu for a few hrs. Maybe get a fucking life if this site is that important to you somethings wrong

spammers really bad today

Site problems sure seem to have run a lot of people off. I must admit it's gay as hell to have it go up and down and for god sakes can't the spammers at least be slowed with ip or subnet bans? For fucks sake out smart those no life bums.

I'll tell you why, b/c admin has almost no tech skills, is NEVER here, and does not have the $$ to upgrade this server.

And for whatever reason, refuses to ask for our help.

I think its the negative attitude of the general roll it up population that has run people off. I don't really notice many site problems other than the spammers. it goes down for a couple hrs a few times a year, doesn't seem excessive to me but I guess im old enough to remember life before internet, ever have a power outage during a storm? did you flame the electric company? sounds like a puss move to me

dont make me laugh

Now with legalization rolling ahead, many many new cannabis sites are opening up, and many young members will float around from site to site, I'm saying its getting very competitive out there, 10 ...18 year olds growing in their rubbermaids, is the market now, rather than 4..28 year olds growing SCROG in a closet, as per 2-3 years ago or even uncle buck, growing back of the hen house for the last 20 years is rare, ... its fucked up teens and their CFL rubbermaids that run the show now, so you gotta find where you sit in the scale of things ....?
