I agree man 1000%, its ridiculous you cant get on anytime between 10-12 on a saturday, how about charging 1-5 bucks a month to weed some people out, most of us would pay it, just an idea, obviously you cant prevent the tons of visitors

All Jack has to do (on the PEAK time) is go to a sign-in page and once we sign in with our member info, we go directly to the Madjack site!

The "guests" would then have to join to get in during the Peak Time hours!

Just my 2 cents.

Wouldnt that cause the same problem though??If everyone that were guests signed up and then tried to log on it would still be extremely slow getting on.

I think it is a problem Jack has to work out with his server.

Just my 2 cents worth.

Yea, but if they were all members then at least Jack could use that as leverage when he negotiates advertising rates, which leads to more income, which leads to more/bigger servers. It's tough though when you are dealing with that kind of traffic, how many sites do you think get that many hits in an hour? Not too many, for sure.

none do as far as handicapping games , a few others 2 have good traffic but most of theirs is offshore talk when it comes to plays and info this is tops by far for numbers and good info, i have been to every site that is anything and posted but got to be to much work to keep all happy, so not saying the other places do not have some good cappers but nothing is close to the cappers on here, so you get the traffic and it is something that takes time to fix this is a special made site not a genr. like most so when it has to be tinkered with the web hosting techs have to do things by hand as in building programs and it all needs to match up, i have spoke with jack he and greg are working on it but it takes time to make a change during busy season , because it could shit down site for a few days or so you never know, last year when a upgrade was made a few things caused problems and site was down for awhile , so it has to do with timing, tech and things like that , just not as easy as adding a 3rd server, this is a ton of traffic and it is not cheap i am sure would hate to see bandwidth bill each month. yes it is hit or miss on busy times i had a easy time today, but hang in their i know they are doing the best to get it up to handle the huge numbers that are here at any given time on peak time, and it is different people not like the same people are just staying on, so the numbers who are here are unreal, if you would take the whole number of uniqe visits each day you would be shocked at how many different people hit the site 1 time.

this site has growen since i have been here 5 fold and the people here from the start can tell you think loophole, ie,jack and all the 1999 people will tell you it has growen i would say 10-20 fold from when it was started. with a good thing comes a few hiccups which they jack,ie are working with the techs on. this really is a very complex site.

you have no clue to how much the bills are on this site, hell he has added 2 new servers bigger ones when the site changed and it has not gone on for 2 years, he spends a ton the best bettor and live lines was a major chunk as was the building of this new site, so before you have a clue about cost of site would not bitch, he is doing all they can like i said, you want to foot some of the bills then you would not be as fast to judge, this is not just some little thing jack runs from his house, this is a company who has people on payroll and bills good size ones and you can't spend money anytime you want , it is a business his cpa and jack knows what they can add and when and how, this place is far from cheap to run , and you have to run it like a business that it is , you just don't say hey i will charge people a small fee or i will spend a extra 15 grand right now at the drop of a hat, hell give him a break if you don't like it leave, he spends tons of money shirts hats,mugs all that stuff cost also, relax it is a well run corp and things just can't be bought when people think, you have a operating budget and you have to stay with in it or you go broke. unreal some of you who thinks he does not spend money you have no freaking clue that post really got under my skin, you foot the bill black man if you know so much and how little he spends for a few months and then see about how the operation works, better yet go some place else if you think site is so bad, everything does not run smooth all the time in business and you have to stay with in a operating budget, why would you spend more then your bringing in? he spends good money and 1 thing at a time has to be paid for before you go adding another major price tag bill to your business.

it's not a money issue at all. i don't mind spending the money if the 'fix' works. my present hosting company says i need a 3rd server. another hosting company says i just need a faster server with more ram. another company says i need both. my present hosting company will not give support with the forum software i use. other companies promise the moon but this hosting company has been good. if i stay we're going to have a day or two complete downtime. if i move, we could be down for longer. it takes 5-10 days to build a new server and time to move all the files over. i'll have this figured out soon, believe me. i just don't want to make a huge mistake like i have in the past. thanks for your patience and i am very close to making the move.
