IS RCCANADA site down?
 

Since last night i have been having problems form RCC site, initially i couldn't log in and then when i could get logged in, i couldn't get into any sub sections as server would take long time to load up and i was getting error. Now it's 2:46pm here and i'm facing same issues with the site and on my screen nothing seems to have been updated with newer posts!. I have emailed Admin about loading up problems and now waiting for his response. Anyone else having similar issues of logging in and waiting for long time before server error appears on the screen...I even tried to open my PM box, same, server times out and give me error.!

RE: IS RCCANADA site down?
 

Not sure when as i just tried again, i could log in and then, it's same loading error as soon as i clicked to check my PMs!...

I clicked to log out, well same loading error again!...

It's like somehow it becomes really slow when trying to get into sub sections of the site, really bazaar n weird!!

Seems to be working fine again.....thread closed.

RE: IS RCCANADA site down?
 

Site is up again ,

RE: IS RCCANADA site down?
 

You got banned for that? That sucks. I actully am quite disapointed with the new admin and will probably stop posting there and instead be more active on RCU.

Removed post , want this behind me

RE: IS RCCANADA site down?
 

Just curious .. what does this have to do with MAAC?

I merely installed Adblock for IE - lots of empty space on RCC where the ads used to be

RE: IS RCCANADA site down?
 

Yes i was thinking the same thing what does this have to do with m.a.a.c!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

RE: IS RCCANADA site down?
 

Nothing.

It's just one of the last places that those evil RCC Dissenters can go to discuss things without all of the pressure to pay the new admin.

Plus if we complain about it here... the thread doesn't dissappear and we also don't get banned.

So hiding on RCU under the heading of MAAC ... works for me! ;)

RE: IS RCCANADA site down?
 

You are right ... this isn't a MAAC issue although I'm sure there is mostly Canuk traffic on this area of this site ,
Want to turn down the heat so edited out most of my comments ...,

RE: IS RCCANADA site down?
 

Removed!............Hoping Rick at RCC does the same...

RE: IS RCCANADA site down?
 

I agree...this has nothing to do with MAAC. But MAAC members are involved. We need to be able to converse without getting banned or have the discussion closed right after he says his $0.02 and with the ability to read PM's, I'm a bit nervous. Who the h-e-double hockey sticks is he anyway? He has no rep before and the only thing his first moderator, kracker, has done has sold two things in the classifieds.

Now if all things are legit, then there is nothing to quam about, other than the inability to take critisism. I hope all goes well, but I share that funny feeling in the pit of my stomach too.

RE: IS RCCANADA site down?
 

Dave, Rob, need to talked. I've chated with RCC on the phone for at least an hour tonight.

OK... Kindly share some details with us... if you don't mind...

RE: IS RCCANADA site down?
 

This very site is for profit also and so is RCU but the atmosphere does seem a little different. I post here and at RCU knowing that a profit may come from my contributions but I do believe the owner of these forums understands the term president of a non-profit RC club and does not mistake it for a for-profit business as the RCC owner did.
The ads on these sites are less intrusive also and I even click on them from time to time. Perhaps I will do the same some day at RCC but not right now! ;)

RE: IS RCCANADA site down?
 

I just got a flaming message from Rick as well. I was responding to a forum about all the complaints on ad's and stated I block ad's with firefox and ad-on. (ad-block)

Can I copy the message, I think it was a little aggressively worded for a first time offense to a member at that site for 2 years... . I did reply and state sorry, and I removed the info, but not received a word of thanks or acknowledgment when I requested one.

I would love to hear or see some of your comments about this guy.

RE: IS RCCANADA site down?
 

The funds to run RCC have to come from somewhere. Ads or contributions. RCU has ads so why is there such a big fuss over ads on RCC.

Would you rather the site just close down?

Dave

RE: IS RCCANADA site down?
 

I agree it costs money to run and everyone needs to make a living...I have no issue with the site changes any longer...

RE: IS RCCANADA site down?
 

It is an individual decision of course. If one no longer likes the site then do not go there. I stated I would no longer sign on and the Moderator (Whoever that is) stated my account (Whatever that is) would be closed. So, I removed the link from my favourites and that solved that issue.

People these days are too lazy to make a stand. Several years ago the service from Rogers cable TV was abysmal. The TV programming was not any better. SO we GOT RID of the TV! we no longer have TV service into our house.

Instead of whining on Fora, STAND UP FOR WHAT YOU BELIEVE IN!

Ed;

You are a man of great conviction.

I applaud you! [sm=thumbs_up.gif]

RE: IS RCCANADA site down?
 

I also hate rccanada

the politics there is about as crappy as it can be


for instance

Veteran users have less power than first time posters

You can leave anyone anytime a bad feedback and the admin won't even budge even if the guy did it on purpose cause he hates the fact you posted he was overpriced on his add

it's a crappy site to avoid at all cost

if your just a casual reader
go ahead lots of great folks in the flying division of the site.....
but in the rc cars truck don't even go there you will step on a land mine

i have been a member for 5 years + and never going back selling there or posting

RE: IS RCCANADA site down?
 

Site seems to be down as far as my computer is concerned. Anybody know what is going on?

RE: IS RCCANADA site down?
 

It's up this morning, might have been some maintenace work going on.

RE: IS RCCANADA site down?
 

Maybe it was this morning, but currently it is working.

If it is still not for you, perhaps you should try clearing your temp files and cookies by pressing at the same time CTRL+SHIFT+DEL and make the appropriate choices.

If that don't help, probably an ISP issue between your computer and the RCCanada server.

RE: IS RCCANADA site down?
 

Thanks I'll give it a try!

RE: IS RCCANADA site down?
 

I was booted off RCC years ago and have no idea why. So I quit looking at it and seldom come on this site to look either. However, when I looked today I noticed that other have been kicked off as well for the same non reason. Interesting

RE: IS RCCANADA site down?
 

pipercubflyer : same thing

Rccanada doesn't care about their users

when you are too present on their site they take you down for the count for non reason they prefer to have theifs running around their forums than GOOD USERS , PROUD USERs , POWER USERS , and veteran hobby quality user


it's one of the worse sitei have ever been hobby wise!

and all it does it give CANADIAN a bad name cause us members will go there and have a rough time and won't appreciate the stay i can garantee that

long live RC UNIVERSE where all the real hobby people are ! i can't thank you guys enough for taking me under your wing since day one!


been a member since 2006 i had deals among deals there , even before the feedback system was implanted ,

they trash you like there's no limit , the mods there webmaster is among the most slow stupid thing i have ever seen they never do anything about anything they just talk & take time to write back

i will tell all my hobby friend / shops about those stories and ill probably have nearly 100 users out of this site in no time if i want to

RE: IS RCCANADA site down?
 

yeah, site doesnt pull up for me anymore, Im guessing I got banned for speaking my mind on how I dont like the spamming PM's because I dont pay them money.

Here is what the great site admin sent me. Suprised I was the first, hahaha!

RE: IS RCCANADA site down?
 

Aren't some of us Canadians polite though!!?? :)
What a ridiculous attitude. Needless to say I have gone back there maybe once in a month now.
Loved your photos!

RE: IS RCCANADA site down?
 

Whats up with RCCanada? It's been down a couple days now. You'd think they could at least email everyone and let them know.

RE: IS RCCANADA site down?
 

It's been up and running for me.

RE: IS RCCANADA site down?
 

Same, I take a look at classified everyday and the website has been running fine for a while.

RE: IS RCCANADA site down?
 

Well I'm not sure whats going on then. I've doneseveral pings on the server and am not getting any response. Every other site works fine.</p>

RE: IS RCCANADA site down?
 

Must have something to do with my ip possibly. I have 3 computers and none of them will load the site.
Not sure if they are blocking my ip and if so, "Why".

RE: IS RCCANADA site down?
 

You probably got banned too, the admin is a real people person. haha

RE: IS RCCANADA site down?
 

Well I sure don't know why they would do that. If being polite getsa guy banned then I'm in some serious trouble. lol
I contacted the webmaster to see whats going on.

RE: IS RCCANADA site down?
 

You probably didnt pay?
