It would unfortunately seem that it is now beyond saving...
I don't think it is, members still have a soft spot for puntosports, I just think it needs some pushing to get it back on track.
It keeps failing/running very slow that needs sorting first
The server isn't the issue at the moment.
It's the lack of new posts, we have plenty on members logging in, but no ones posting new threads or posts anymore.
In the day, if you had an issue you could chuck a thread up and get plenty of replies.
These days half of us don't own puntos anymore, so obviously don't have punto related issues anymore.
Im thinking of ways to spruce things up.Im just waiting on a bit of time of work so i can get involved handling the server side issues as a starting Point.Please list a number of things you would like to see done or think would benefit the place. and ill add them to a list of things to do.As were all aware the place has lost out a lot to the Facebook phenomenon. but i do intend to try and sort some things to keep the knowledgebase here.
the server isnt an issue? then why is the site so slow?
and not being funny here, but how are we ever going to get new members when you have got this on the home page? i mean wtf? who would join a site with those dates as the 'next event'

Upcoming events in the next 90 days:
Ultimate Street Car - 6th August 2010

I do think the unreliability of the server right now is playing a part.
It takes ages to navigate due to general slowness, and searches are throwing up FAST CGi errors all over the place.
As Mawbs says, sorting the server out should be the first issue to be sorted! Then we can start looking at other things i guess.
Posting pictures (without using photobucket etc) should be one of the main priorities after that if we wanna compete with Facebook!
Ok fair enough, I didn't realise the server was an issue, as I personally don't have an issue with loading times.
I wonder if it would be possible to just get rid of the home page?
