What is going on at scifi.com? Does anyone here know why their Bboards keep getting locked up? I've seen alot of the same handles here so maybe someone here knows what's going on over there. Thanks

I used to go over there a lot, but don't do it much now. Reasons:
1. Their board is S L O W.
2. They have tons of really annoying pop-up ads. I had to cripple my browser just to be able to tolerate the place.
3.
Their search engine is utterly horrible. It doesn't find stuff that I know is there, and finds records that do not contain the search criteria. It's useless.
4. Their board
severly lacks organization. It's all in a hodge-podge, haystack of information. This coupled with #1 & #3, makes their site a royal pain-in-the-butt to use.
5. Their site is cast in stone. This site was much better than Sci-Fi's when I first got here, and has continually gotten better. This site is responsive to the users.
6. This site has avatars.
I still go over to:
SCIFI.COM - Babylon 5 BBoard
http://www.scifi.com/bboard/browse.cgi/1/5/1957
and
SCIFI.COM - The Legend of the Rangers BBoard
http://www.scifi.com/bboard/browse.cgi/1/5/2414
... occasionally. Thankfully, because traffic is down[1], those sites are now easier to use.
[1] By this, I mean traffic in SCIFI.COM - Babylon 5
and SCIFI.COM - The Legend of the Rangers BBoards, not traffic on SCIFI.COM as a whole.
