Grachan Posted October 4, 2013 Report Share Posted October 4, 2013 STRANGE, if that is the case then why haven't the other two parties - the BSPA and AP Media - issued a simple and brief statement to quash any suggestion of wrong doing? Also, they should be doing their utmost to ensure there is no further outage in the coming weeks because I am pretty sure the Brummies website may get 27 hits again. If I'm following this all correctly, it's nothing to do with the BSPA or AP Media but down to the webmaster of the Brummies site, whoever that is. From what I can gather (it's all a bit messy as there is lots of abuse flying around) they have someone new doing their website and it's causing problems with the servers due to bad codes.

SGP Posted October 4, 2013 Report Share Posted October 4, 2013 (edited) If it is indeed the case that Chris has been banned for his protest then it is very, very sad. Surely those running the sport have more urgent matters to deal with than acting out of petty spite against one who was trying to improve their currently shoddy product and was clearly overcome with frustration for something that was going on behind the scenes? AGREED, a new TV deal you would've thought would've been a greater priority. If the sport's own fans can see the problems and are trying to help without success, then seriously, who can look forward to the future? If I'm following this all correctly, it's nothing to do with the BSPA or AP Media but down to the webmaster of the Brummies site, whoever that is. From what I can gather (it's all a bit messy as there is lots of abuse flying around) they have someone new doing their website and it's causing problems with the servers due to bad codes. THIS is why it is (in my view) important for the BSPA and AP Media to issue a statement and quash any talk of wrong-doing... We know for a fact 'they' come on here, they can see what's being written, so why not issue a statement and remove themselves from any alledged involvement...

I don't see why they should if it's nothing to do with them. If they made a statement every time they were rubbished by people on here they'd be doing nothing else with their time! If anyone needs to respond it's the people who were firing accusations at Andy Povey. I even saw comments by people on my Facebook wall by people seemingly making violent threats towards him over this and offering their "services". Perhaps a response from the people making accusations is appropriate bearing in mind someone has now said it's all their own fault in the first place, they were warned that the website was causing problems and did nothing about it? After all, that's just another one of the comments on here, and we don't know who the person is making it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody should receive such threats! Also, if AP Media are contracted to supply clubs' websites via the BSPA then, at the very least, they should be issuing and apology and reassurance that the same wont happen again [outages].

SteveLyric2 Posted October 5, 2013 Report Share Posted October 5, 2013 I'm not sure if this has any relevance whatsoever with whats been going on behind the scenes with the Brummies website, but is anyone else having problems accessing the BSPA website this morning??

Nobody could ever 100% guarantee outages won't happen again, not practical to suggest outages wont happen.

It is very bad timing with us hopefully *touch wood* having our first British World Champion later today. Hopefully any media interested in talking about speedway will find other contacts.

TheReturn Posted October 5, 2013 Report Share Posted October 5, 2013 Presume A>P>Media are practicing ready for the Brummies on monday!! Not necessarily. Remember, it may be that the websites are hosted on a shared server hired by the BSPA website designer, so it could be the system as reached bandwidth limits and has been suspended by the website host, not AP Media. I had the same problem myself earlier this year and had to invest in a VPS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
