Warning, loads of language
01.11.05 (7:07 pm)   [edit]

I’m generally a fairly placid person. I tend not to get upset about things I have no control over, it’s not worth it. However, from time to time it does you (me, one, ughhh) good to talk it through. I think now might be one of those times, so;


 


What the fuck is tblog about these days? It seems every time I try to read or post I get a message saying tblog is down “for a few minutes” and thanking me for my patience. Well Rocky, it’s just not good enough. “A few minutes”? – All I can say is, I wish I could go down for that amount of time! As for patience, it eventually runs out. Do you ever read tblurt Rocky? Does it worry you that people are posting their new blog addresses by the drove? (That was a rhetorical question because the answer is obviously “no”.)


 


When (if) I eventually do get into this site it loads slowly. OK I admit I’m a needy person. I need to know that if I click onto “my account” it will load before I have the opportunity to read War And Peace. Are you following me Rocky? It’s not looking good is it? Oh, but guess what? It gets worse, much worse. You offer an archive facility…the one which is now missing several months worth of postings (deleted by mistake) which clearly makes it OK. Wrong.


 


I haven’t bothered trying to write to you about my concerns because I have read too many blogs where people bemoan the fact that you never even acknowledge their distress, let alone try to rectify matters. *Whispers* Rocky, in any other service industry this level of service would be enough to see you out of a job, but then as a good friend of mine says…”but I digress.”


 


As a paid up member of this pile of crap I’d like to know why the comments I leave on other blogs don’t appear on my “my comments”? They used to, but for a long time I have to go looking to see if my comments have been answered. OK, I know that’s not a big deal, but when you’ve waited an age to get onto the site, then it loads slowly, then you realise your comments are missing it all takes time, time I don’t have, and let me tell you Rocky it is ever so slightly FUCKING ANNOYING!


 


Something else which is bothering me, I’d like to know where you stand on selling drugs to kids? It cannot pass unnoticed that the majority of your clients are, well, lets just say they’re not old. Almost every time I log in and go to see who has posted recently I’m appalled to see a long list of “people” offering medication without a prescription. Who is this aimed at? Sorry, another rhetorical question. I hope you’re sleeping well Rocky (maybe you are due to the unprescribed medication, what do I know?), but I am not. Seeing as I pay you to involve myself in this site, does that make me party to exposing kids to drugs?


 


I know the short (release yourself from any responsibility) response to all these questions is to tell me to go somewhere else if I’m not happy, and to be honest I already have, but let’s face it, it simply isn’t good enough. I want to stay with tblog because I have friends here and it’s the “community” feel of sites like this that is their strength. Get strong Rocky, listen to what your clients are saying!


 


Ahhhh  that feels better.

Aaah, andaloo...I share your sentiments (and when I first read this blog entry, I read "I'm generally a flacid person." Oopsies!!

Ahh, my 'Loo my 'Loo... It's so refreshing to hear a Brit bitch like an American. Fucks and all.

Yes, I've been bitching & moaning forever about tBlog's eternity to load, adding (in tBlurt) that I'd never PAY for service this poor. (And I don't pay!) And the deleted archives are just icing on the torta.

Further, I even made a post, I think?, or at least tBlurt complaints, about those medicine adverts posted as blog entries. Terrible! In fact, I'm sure it's just the safe side of illegal.

Anyway, wherever you go, take me along (including Spain, please. When's a good month?). You (one, all .. errggh) can e-post me @ fotocalipix@yahoo.com (among other places). That's the address I give in public forums like this; more frequently-checked email accts are given to those within my inner circle... and such await you. By the way, do you care for a Gmail acct? I've got so many 'invitations' I just don't know what to do with them all.

Cheers, you salty-tongued curser you... will have to make you an honorary American soon for all your ..ahem.. frank speech. :-)

Oh I can bitch MUCH better than that when the need arises, but "salty-tongued" I like. If I do keep up with my other blog (and who knows) I'll be sure to send you a link. As for Spain...you know you are always welcome here at Palacio Andaloo, you must be working up to a Euro fix by now.

BTW the email address you have for me died. I'll send you the the new one.

Good to hear from you. Abrazos amigo mio.

Bloody hell! I only just noticed the missing archives!

When I first joined tBlog I thought it just had growing pains. But it's taking WAY TOO LONG to grow up.

Poor Loops.... I feel the same way. Let's discuss it over a bottle of vino at Casa de Loops

If I do flit I'll let you know where I've gone, and thanks for asking. I have to admit, I don't really want to make another move, being one of the many who moved to tblog from Mblog when it went belly up it's all still a bit fresh. However...

Maybe you could ring him and give him a piece of your mind?
Surely there must be laws about the level of service you should get when you pay for soemthing like this?

I'm a little late to chime in here, but it seems you've noticed more problems than I have. ugh. Thank you for cursing so I don't have to!!

Of course you know about my other blog! I've lured Badaunt over there already, so why don't you, uh, come over and check it out? heh heh heh

And the archives go back for a year and you access them by a little "next page" link at the bottom of the screen. It's wonderful!

Thanks!!! I ought to return the favor, will do post-haste. Well, in a few minutes anyhow.

And yes, you're a good curser.

wow, Loops, you can curse like a pro!! well done!! one thing about the tblog service ( or non service!) it's an equal opportunity screw-up.
As Bridget Jones might say there's a lot of " fuckwittage" going on.
