Weatherman 523 Posted October 16, 2018 Report Share Posted October 16, 2018 You may have noticed intermittent connection issues today. The vendor is having AWS infrastructure issues today. I've opened a ticket and they've acknowledged the problems. Things seem to have someone stabilized so far. I assume their autoscaling spun up extra capacity. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The one AZ uses is much older. Let me ask for an update of the app over the next week. Hopefully that resolves the issue. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Weatherman 523 Posted January 18, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2019 I started the process of app updates. That usually takes about a week. And I updated the app plugin for the site. That only took a few minutes. Let me know if (and when) things resolve themselves. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MEtoVTskier 22 Posted October 20, 2019 Report Share Posted October 20, 2019 And... after Nick supposedly fixing more issues just a few weeks ago, and admitting he has been needing to change hosts for quite awhile now, Alpinezone breaks yet again this morning. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Oh look, AZ takes a dump once again, almost exactly 30 days later. Nick's really on top of that host changeover. Why again, is it everyone hasn't migrated here yet?

Cannonballer 660 Posted November 21, 2019 Report Share Posted November 21, 2019 Why again, is it everyone hasn't migrated here yet?This is obviously a better platform. But it's probably another sign that forums are are at heaven's gate. There are about 20 active posters on AZ and about 10 here. Meanwhile individual FB groups have hundreds of active posters and thousands of followers. I personally hate the FB format and like forums. But it's hard to argue with the numbers.

I know a lot of people who deleted their Facebook and there are very few so maybe message boards will begin to grow if Facebook continues to shrink. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Oct 2019: According to findings by Pew Research, 44% of younger users, those aged 18 to 29, have deleted the Facebook app from their phone. Besides the fact that they may not want to be under close watch by their parents, I have a few reasons why I believe younger users are leaving Facebook: How people use social media has changed. People prefer sharing on a smaller scale or even one-to-one as opposed to blasting an update to people they haven’t talked to in years. The younger audiences are much more comfortable storytelling and sharing updates by creating image and video content. Facebook has become saturated with ads and this generation doesn’t like to be marketed to in the more traditional sense. Finally, other platforms are innovating quicker. Instagram and Snapchat are rolling out features that are capturing this audience’s attention. Some of these features include: Stories, Gifs/Stickers, Lenses and Augmented Reality Where are They Spending time on Social Media? So where are Millennials and Gen Zers spending their hours social networking? They can be found on YouTube, Instagram and messaging apps. It may come as a surprise to you that one app in particular is still holding their attention…Snapchat. On 11/21/2019 at 4:43 PM, Cannonballer said: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MEtoVTskier 22 Posted November 23, 2019 Report Share Posted November 23, 2019 Interesting. I never bothered with Instagram nor Snapchat, and only use YouTube for viewing different subjects and follow only a couple users. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Benski 78 Posted November 23, 2019 Report Share Posted November 23, 2019 Snapchat has some filters that are good for silly pictures. Also Snapchat allows kids to send their parters nudes without them being saved. I suspect this was why Snapchat was originally created. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
