ffdotnetrantsThis site has to be the most unreliable POS in the history of the web. It seems like it can't go even two months without going offline.

Re: This gets funny for a while...xP
Date: 2010-12-01 04:17 am (UTC)The 'new' crew immediately unveiled a slew of submission regulations, many of which were applied retroactively with neither warning nor explanation, and quickly ceased the behaviour of producing accurate and reliable reports detailing unscheduled downtime and advance reports warning of downtime for upgrades and maintenance, and of sending even automated responses to support requests and reports of improperly regulated stories. The greatest majority of authors whose stories were removed then or since still have yet to receive appropriate applicable causes, and many whom persistently requested or investigated such information either were banished or closed their accounts of their own accord, with still others being told of unsubstantiated (and uninvestigated) reports of regulation infraction before being stonewalled.
Numerous 'upgrades' to various systems connected to the main database have resulted in the elimination or greatly reduced functionality of many features instigated by the previous administration and several of the few sensible features the current administration have introduced themselves, even ignoring their constant experiments with the localized search engine as they continuously debate whether it need be functional or friendly (and, perhaps, how best to infuriate those whom utilize it) without asking nor accepting input from their user-base.
Both you and the 'strawman' commentators above make mention of payment and donation, and such commentary makes me curious as to how many account-holders pay for premium membership, or are even aware that such is an option. The only additional feature that I recall offhand is a local email address, but I believe there were others whenever I closely inspected the Account pages. Oddly enough, this premium membership is one feature which I strongly recall being temporarily removed completely by both the current and previous administrations, whatever their causes.
The advertisements are another longstanding cause for dispute betwixt traffickers and administration. There used to be a selection of affiliated sites which could be located on the frontpage and (iIrc) at the bottom of all but the story pages and author profiles. Later, these were gradually eliminated from FFN as simple banner ads were installed across the top and then bottom of each page, followed by interactive banner ads and then box ads on the profile pages. Still later, frame-window advertisements similar to 'pop-ins' were added as these became popular with other websites, although FFN is the only website of my awareness which continues to ignore their near-constant incompatibility with some browsers *cough*IE*cough*. Over a duration of several months, the current administration also experimented with pop-up and pop-under advertisements, but seems to have realized the causes behind the unpopular reputations of these methods.
Before anyone asks or accuses, this information all comes from the standpoint of a frequent trafficker with no connection to either administration, although I have had minor frustrations with them and have been in contact with those whom have suffered major frustrations.
