Franktalk fix or change your servers!

I'm sure everybody agrees by now that FT's difficulties with handling internet traffic rendered it almost unusable at times lately. It's a relatively new phenomena too. It wasn't much of a problem when I initially joined this forum about a year ago. I moved it here because there is a parallel thread about this happening in General Discussions.

I'm addressing all: FT itself, pre-ops, post-ops and implanters here, and the companies! I'm sure they're reading this!

You'd think that manufacturers of penile implants: Coloplast, Boston Scientific and Rigicon might cough up some funds to let FT admins upgrade their platform. I'm sure they must get a lot of business through incidental referrals.

I hope many chime in to this thread to always keep it on top. It would be nice if in a week or so, once it's populated, someone would bring attention to it to the FT admins if FT doesn't comment beforehand.

If there is someone with an in to any of the three companies mentioned it would be very constructive if you brought to their attention.

Agree. Very slow.

They really should.
When my uro told me I needed an implant I said no way.
If it wasn't for this site, I wouldn't have considered getting an implant without chatting with the guys on here that did get one.

If it's; a question of funding, charge a membership fee for access to all but basic forums. Most of us would gladly pay. That would also keep the trolls out.

...and those on Medicaid too I think this would also insure that many of those considering implanting wouldn't bother to join. Most people from countries other than the US wouldn't bother too, and I personally find many of their stories riveting and extremely educational. For many who really needs it it wouldn't be worth it, especially with FB and Reddit out there.

Not a good idea imho.

This inability of handing internet traffic got to be fixed though. This is a relatively recent phenomena on franktalk. They should change host or something. I know many free internet sites that deal with things like that from time to time and they change things when users start to complain and everything start working like clockwork again.

It is interesting—and no less frustrating—that no admin has spoken up yet. By now, there have been so many complaints regarding the malfunctioning forum that any admin should have realized something is broken. The whole situation is very strange.
