I disagree. But I'm sure I don't have the vast message board experience that you do. I think that Macon's sites are some of the best sites offered for those of us in the cattle business - or even those who just want to be in the cattle business.jcummins said:Sorry to say...I think it means both this site and cattle today....is being admin very poorly. I visit a fair number of forums in retirement, and although I thoroughly enjoy the content both here and at cattle today....both of these forums have issues that I NEVER see on other forums.

Admittedly, he's having some problems lately, but last night is the first time that I can recall not being able to get on the boards. Most of the 'problems' are only minor annoyances, anyway. And there's never been much of anything that people have asked for that Macon hasn't tried to provide. I don't know about YOU, but none of it has ever cost me a single penny.
Macon invests a lot of his own money and a tremendous amount of time providing these boards for us to use - at no cost to us. And now you've taken advantage of the FREE forum he provides to bash his management? Something about that just doesn't seem quite right.
Sorry, I guess I misunderstood your intent. Apparently, you're partly right about the "help" because Macon posted yesterday that one of the guys that he had hired to help him straighten out the new server had hacked the site.jcummins said:My post didn't come across right. I use to admin servers…not the type Macon has, but servers none the less. Administration of these things is a very thankless task. You have to really cross your T's and dot the I's to make these things runs without the issues he has now. I do appreciate him having these forums up, but I think he needs some help that he is not getting or perhaps he isn't making the money he needs to get that help.
I did not intend to offend. Actually wish I could help. I like these boards.
