AOPA forums are making me seasick.

Is there a good thread/way to get a flavor for the POA board? I like what I see so far and I suspect alot of displaced Red Board users will be looking for a new site.
This makes no sense in this amount of time I could have built them a new system that wouldn't suck.

Edit: Odds on finding out they're using SugarCRM because it's free? LOL.
Oh, and the emails are issued through uapps.net, which is a domain owned by TMA, who also produces Personify.
Well there ya go. It was a joke anyway, Bill - was referring to their decision making

The silly part is they don't really have that much traffic. I bet if I knew wtf their problem was and had free reigns to fix it I could have it fixed before tomorrow with a single AWS instance.
Personify is one of the more complex association management systems. Wonder if it's like the SAP of the association world...
Many comments suggest themselves. Propriety and courtesy restrain me from sharing them.
It makes total sense. Many inexperienced IT folk will spin on a problem until they person who writes the checks tells the to stop.

The head of the IT dept at AOPA is Mr. Wie Fuk Up. We should contact him and find out what the deal is.
Right now, heads roll for us after 45 minutes. We strive for 99.99% uptime - which means less than 53 minutes PER YEAR of downtime.

What was that 'thud' I just heard from the direction of KFDK?
We get 99.998 (10 min 30 sec) but our internal KPI is 99.999 (5 min 20 sec). Not including planned downtime windows, which vary from 2 to 10 hours per weekend, usually 3 weekends per month.
If this was happening at my company, we would all be out of our jobs. But we have systems and processes that make it nearly impossible. Our last major outage was 6 years ago, and it lasted 18 minutes. We met .998 nearly every year, and .999 most years.
I enjoyed reading this because we just saw an advertisement for Direct-TV which was calling for 99% uptime in response to claims that the system signal is not reliable - this adds up to 16 min a month - and you know that its not at 3am. . .
That. Achieving many nines requires many dollars. It's a mindset sure, but it still carries a great cost.That's very zen, but availability is very much about money, and systems design, and serious tech challenges.
