“Rumors”? Ultimatums? Time Frames? Demands for “honesty”? Blames of “unethical” behavior? On a free, completely voluntary website, which just happens to be a wealth of information and resources?! All these threads that have been going on for the last few days are just soooo destructive…
I vowed to not to perpetuate the pointless discussions, but unfortunately I couldn’t help it. If anything, these threads contribute to the overload of servers with irrelevant bits of information – sorry, I’m just going to be guilty of it right now, too… So what if the site has been down?! It has been under a major upgrade – and no offence, but it takes just a touch longer than baking and decorating a cake… Do people even attempt to comprehend the amount of data and traffic it needs to handle, 24/7? The site is a victim of its popularity! It is not a piece of cake, no pun intended. I go to CC it’s down, I move on to do something else. If anything, while it’s down, I know it is been worked on. Yes, it is a minor inconvenience if I’m looking for something I know is there, but one can Google anything these days, it just happens that CakeCentral has an astounding amount of cake resources and helpful people concentrated all in one place. And for that its creators are getting punished by all this negativity and “I’m not gonna play with you anymore” threads?! C’mon… |

FANTASTIC post! i was watching my niece (who happens to be 5) using the computer yesterday. her website (nickjr or something) was down and she started to have a hissy fit. i told her to go outside and play or get another game, but that it wasn't the end of the world. now i don't know what specific threads have been posted in the last couple of days, but i too needed a recipe that was on this site. when i couldn't get to it, i googled it like you mentioned and came up w/ similar results. my point is... that b/c the site was down, i now have a greater appreciation that any other day the info is compiled in one place and i CAN get what i need in a flash. sorry it became so long  |

Well said! I totally agree! Some people are acting so ridiculous! These things take time. You can't get you panties all in a not because CC is having problems. Like Heath said when they originally made this site they did not expect to have so many members. Now they are doing there best to try and fix the site to accomidate all of us. Have patience! We are not children here! Just calm down evryone and give it some time, they will get it all worked out.
And to those who want to leave, I say go ahead leave! We don't need people who are fair-weather friends.
CC is awesome! |

Oh - I so totally agree!!
Everyone and everything has 'down' time! Don't we as mere humans get the flu, have emergency surgeries, accidents, tornados and floods??
Have some patience, lay off the complaining about CC if CC is down -- spend some quality time with someone who loves you, clean your toilets or walk your dog!! By the way some members carry on about the site being down it is amazing to think that a person could have EVER decorated a cake without the intervention of the computer, internet and CakeCentral!
Let Heath, Jackie and the coworkers do their job as quickly and efficiently AND as accurately as possible!
Hey - and everyone have a better day out there!! This inconvenice of the UPGRADE is just a grain of sand in comparison to the really important things in life!

I agree. When I was in the Navy our servers went down too and they were a lot of work to fix. It's a free site so quit you whinning. All sites have issues. It's a part of technology. |

So True...as a new member( some what) I read and gather information rather than post alot. I enjoy it, it has been a wonderful source for me because I live in a very rural area. If it's down, come back later. We are all responsible for the issues they are working so hard to correct. For all of the hard work... I know alot of us want to say thank you CC. |

Right on Sistas! How can anyone complain about this site when it is totally FREE?? I do check to see if it is up every 15 minutes and move on. I agree that when it is down, they are trying to fix it.
So go ahead, quit. Your loss..... |

I so agree with this post. If your life totally revolves around getting messages from CC you need to get out more. Go volunteer to teach decorating to kids, volunteer with Girl Scouts, Help out at Ronald McDonald House, Call your kids school and volunteer. Those things are much more important than being able to get on a web site. Go outside and see the sun, rain, snow or what ever. Life goes on and these computer glitches will pass.
Lighten up.
My two cents...for what it's worth. |

This is going to be a specific "love" thread. It reminds me of a weird twist on Stockholm syndrome. It cracks me up.
