Earlier this year The Red State winger blog - sometimes considered Kos's evil twin whined that their site was so poor because all the good code writers were liberals.
Then they took up a collection to get new blog code.
How has it worked out.....
Last night I went to RedSate as I am prone to do to see what evil they are up to now and found this:
have to rewrite this diary because I lost the long text after rebooting for the third time. I have attempted to sign in and post probably 30 times tonight. I no longer have the interest to go into the detail of my last attempt so I will keep this short and sour.
As far as I am concerned, Redstate 3.0 is a colossal failure. The site is unusable because it is so hard to log in, so hard to post, and so hard to have a conversation/debate. There have been countless posts on the problems with the new site, and even more posts defending the "hard work" of the designer. What it comes down to is this site is no longer reliable and is NOT "the place for important Republicans to post".
When long term users can't even log in, how do we expect a Congressman or his LA to spend the time attempting to make a diary? Some say our traffic has increased and that is the problem, if true, I will eat my hat. I have not checked website statistics, but I have seen the absurd amount of time and tenacity it takes to log on, stay logged on, and be able to make any post at all. Just to post this diary I refreshed abotu 40 times and rebooted my computer three times.
In fact I found several versions of it created as the guy tried to post.
I tried to go "below the fold" and their server hung. I tried to do a search and their server hung.
I went in this morning and things seemed better. I was able to see the whole text - as well as comments that the problems were undoubtedly caused by evil liberal trolls...
Then a few minutes latter I could not get onto the site at all - and then I could.
So much for RedState 3.0. Seems the liberals still have control of the "tubes."
