+TexasGringo Posted February 13, 2007 Author Posted February 13, 2007 Hey...you are a PREMIUM Member too....see, you get what I get.
+Ambrosia Posted February 13, 2007 Posted February 13, 2007 And then I, on the other hand, are one of the few proud Platinum Members. Although, this does not always guarantee perfection, but, I'm fairly well taken care of.
+TexasGringo Posted February 13, 2007 Author Posted February 13, 2007 As a "Platinum Member"....does your "Server Busy" message come as a MIDI file?
+Ambrosia Posted February 13, 2007 Posted February 13, 2007 As a "Platinum Member"....does your "Server Busy" message come as a MIDI file? Platinum Members rarely get server busy messages. Next time I get one, I'll check and see.
+The Leprechauns Posted February 13, 2007 Posted February 13, 2007 Platinum members get to pick and choose a regular member to receive "server too busy" errors. It is great fun!
vagabond Posted February 13, 2007 Posted February 13, 2007 As an old timer here I very seldom get messages like those, TPTB know better because we know where all the bodies are kept.
+SUp3rFM & Cruella Posted February 13, 2007 Posted February 13, 2007 Oh the laughter... That's what we all should do when we pay for something and get a bad service. More jokes, please.
+briansnat Posted February 13, 2007 Posted February 13, 2007 Yeah, I think I saw that message about 4 times in the past 3 months. I wish some of the production applications my company uses were as stable.
+SUp3rFM & Cruella Posted February 13, 2007 Posted February 13, 2007 (edited) Yeah, I think I saw that message about 4 times in the past 3 months. I wish some of the production applications my company uses were as stable. You can't be serious. If your company is running with that ratio, it's good enough, I think. But geocaching.com ain't running with that ratio. Do you think if there were 4 downtimes in the last 3 months there would be so many posts and threads about the problems? Why are you trying to cover up the problem? Please. edit: spelling. Edited February 13, 2007 by SUp3rFM & Cruella

The problems are occurring more than ever, from what I've experienced, seen in the forums, and talked about it with more experienced geocachers.

You know, I popped into this thread because from the topic title, it appeared to be discussing a feature. It wasn't clear what the feature was, so I wanted to see if I already was aware of it. Instead of discussing a feature, the thread was actually just a bit of lame snarkiness. Given this, I'm not at all surprised that some snarkiness was returned. BTW, I can't recall the last time I've recieved a 'Server Too Busy' error. I'm sure that it was last year. I guess paying for that upgrade to Centurian level was worth it.

Hey Lep, What flavor this month? This month, we received Smokey Mountain Special, Mountain Muscadine Jelly, and Blueberry Jam. The Smokey Mountain Special sounds like it could be funky, but it's actually preserves made with a blend of strawberries, raspberries and cherries. It's yummy. Last month was Cherry Preserves, Peach Pecan w/cherries in Amaretto, and Wild Blackberry Jam. I'm not a huge peach fan, but the Peach Pecan w/cherries in Amaretto was awesome!
BRTango Posted February 13, 2007 Posted February 13, 2007 As a rusty aluminum member (have you ever tried to get aluminum to rust? It's not easy) I am too low on the totem pole to receive a Server Busy error. Haven't gotten one in at least the last 6 months, and i'm using the server at least as much as everyone else. Guess, I just don't rate high enough to be included with the special folks

+StarBrand Posted February 13, 2007 Posted February 13, 2007 I've said it before and I'll say it again. I use the site as much as anybody and I rarely see the server too busy error. Much like brian - maybe 4 or 5 times in the past 6 months. I keep thinking there is something else going on here as not all of us are getting the frequency of the error that others are getting. (thus it allows us to be snarky about it)

I was actually thinking that 4 or 5 times in the past 6 months seemed like a lot. But perhaps I need to start marking it on my calender since it happens so rarely, so I can comment on it better in here. Better yet, perhaps I should start a thread each time I notice it. Even better than that, perhaps I should start a thread every time the site works. Catch more flies with honey, and all that.

I don't think anyone is saying that it doesn't happen, just that not everyone has the same experience as you do. I put a good deal of stress on the servers, and I very, VERY, rarely get a server/busy error. Doesn't mean it doesn't happen to you or anyone else. But... you gotta admit the title of this thread "I'm Proud To Be a PREMIUM Member" is just screaming for snarky replies. That and the issue has been brought up to the point of exhaustion in many other threads as you appropriately pointed out. And, what is being done about it has been pointed out in those threads... so... keep starting new threads and perpetuating the old one... just don't get your knickers in a twist (I read that somewhere and liked the sound of it) when others with different experiences disagree with your level of dissatisfaction.

+Torgut Posted February 13, 2007 Posted February 13, 2007 In every community there is always a group of followers. It seems we have here a good number of these persons. Waco persons. Yes, praise the Lord. Thank Him because this system is perfect. Thank Him because its uptime is idilic. Praise the Lord. We don't find any bugs in the Lord's kingdom. And if there is any, it's the Devil fault. The Lord never fails. If not Devil's fault is someone else fault. We all praise the dynamic of the System, always with new features, always improving. It's Heaven upthere, in Groundspeak nest. A pitty that only the faithfull followers will notice it.

Or was it the caches found in 3 countries, and 16 states as well as the 45 trackables that I'm managing?

Oh wait, even your DSL isn't THAT fault free at that price. $2.50 if you pay for a year in advance Yah I rounded up to give benefit of the monthly memberships. It's amazing what people will complain about with their hard earned 3 bucks. If it's that big of a problem to them, they should just keep their money. These people forget the 3 bucks pays for the extra features. That's all that is described. It is not for more reliable service. For reliable service, I would expect a higher fee to really help pay for the equipment upgrades, salaries and extras that go into maintaining that kind of shop. In other words, let's get the perspective more in tune folks.
+StarBrand Posted February 13, 2007 Posted February 13, 2007 I think you would be hard pressed to find such a large, dynamic, frequently accessed ever expanding database aywhere else. $2.50 is a bargain in my book. All that and they are working to make it more reliable even as we speak.
+SUp3rFM & Cruella Posted February 14, 2007 Posted February 14, 2007 To all that don't think $3 or $2.50 means nothing, please transfer that amount to my back account in a monthly basis. Thank you. I could have sticked to be a regular and free member, but no. Even getting the PQ's is easy if you're not a regular member, but no. I do think that supporting geocaching by being a premium member is the right thing to do. If I'm paying for something, I want that something to be good. If I'm paying (in a yearly subscription) it means that: - I do believe in the project and I'm supporting it - I do believe that it's a bargain for what you get (I mean the fun, not the features) - I expect the organization that I'm paying for to be professional. IF $2.5/$3 is nothing when compared to the costs of running the site... how about telling just that and stating that the monthly rate will be $10 from now on. $10 would guarantee a much, much better performance. Maybe, some are willing to pay. It's not the money... Is what you get for.
