umbro Wrote:Mad Russian Wrote:Why this site has not long ago been transferred to a site where a common programming language can support the site is beyond reason.
MR, you should really quit while you are ahead. You make statements like that above and those of us who do know what they are talking about have to question whether everything else that you say has the same level of competency.
The level of my competency is still being reviewed...I'll get back with you on that when the findings are tabulated.....

Good, because that was not my understanding, or what the posts like Booties, leads one to believe. That if Randy leaves the site will not function. It was my understanding that this site is run on a lesser known programming language that Randy taught himself.
I freely admit that I know nothing of the programming of the site. I'm only going on what I've been told here by the officers past and present....which could very much have been misunderstanding on my part. Once upon a time I was fairly computer literate but not so much anymore.
Thanks for the clarification. That makes the situation very much different.
If this site is based on a common language then Booties comments make no sense. If anyone of thousands of men have the knowledge to keep the site running how can it simply be as Bootie says?
For now I fear the Blitz jacket is hanging on a shoogily peg.
That wasn't my comment. It does lead one to have certain assumptions as to the state of the site though doesn't it?
Be that as it may. It still doesn't change my position that Randy doesn't need to stop doing what he does to support the site. But he can do that without being a Super Mod or the CSM. It just clears a bit of the smoke from the eyes....
Good Hunting.
