A penny saved... ;)

Honestly, the main reason I ponied up was to avoid the server busy messages. But like you said, it seems to be down half the time, and that problem has been going on for a while. The avatar is nice for quickly identifying people, and the sig is alright but I'd like without it.

I spent based on the server busy messages.. BUT it seems we're all getting those lately anyway...:(

Until someone changes Avatars and then it's back to square 1...:cool:

Actually, as a freeloader, I haven't had a "server busy" error in ages. Only the server-down BS that we're all dealing with.

Busy servers used to be a problem, but not anymore, at least not recently. FYI.

[bigtoga]

Two days into it - all good :)

[bigtoga]

All good so far...

Actually the freeloaders have one thing that's much cooler than you preemies get: on the left side we have a nav bar that lists all of our "My BigSoccer" threads. We don't have to click "My BS" to get to them :)

Well plus like half of us have Alan Smith avatars now...

Okay - has BS been slow for you guys for about the last 1-2 hours? It's been a little "off" for me. I guess slow isn't the word, more like "it waits, waits, waits... now it serves me" then things go for a while until we repeat the process again.

I'm wondering if this is just across the board or a function of the throttle for freebies

[StrikerCW]

I believe it is everyone, and down to the 'upgrading' of the site supposedly in preparation for the WC..... or so they say.

This happens to me alot. I don't know if that changes when you upgrade though.

[MtP07]

Its been happening to me too.

[bigtoga]

Good to know... I'm telling you, if I decide to re-up, I will ask for this little sidebar that has the "My BigSoccer" links on them. That's so much cooler...

Um, I see the "My BigSoccer" links and have for a while now, except for a couple of weeks when it disappeared. You're talking about the direct links to the forums you have subscriptions to, right? I definitely see those.

True but you're still green so you atick out from the rest....;)

[bigtoga]

You're talking about the direct links to the forums you have subscriptions to, right? I definitely see those.Yes, on the left side under the heading "BigSoccer Features". They weren't there when I was a paying customer; it was all just one big screen of the forum.

I'm talking about a separate frame on the left

Yep, its there. Maybe they just didn't like your money or something. ;)

See the ads above in your pic? My subscription - the $33 kind - prevented my from seeing those and the left bar was not there
