On a scale of 1-10, 10 being tops, how would you rate the overall AMHD experience, taking everything into account.
This is an anonymous poll.

Feel free to comment.

Holy that's pretty vague. Sometimes the site is slow as molasses but then it's back to normal. Not sure what criteria you want us to use.

Everything.
People
Experts
Advice
Speed
Design, etc


If you need to comment/clarify then feel free to do so.
Also if there's anything we can do to make it better then let us know.

Anonymous?

Yep as in no one knows who voted what ;)

I agree with NK that it runs quite slowly sometimes, but other than that, it's still the best site for free advice and help.

My only problem with the site is that I wish there was more traffic.
Sometimes I find myself coming on about 10 times a day with no new dog posts.

I have recruited several people I know to join but they haven't made any posts yet :rolleyes:

Other than that A grade site, unlike others out there, there are actual experts who you can trust rather than people just pretending to know what they are talking about.

This has been overall, the best site I have been on as far as question and answer and expert site and also the moderation of the site is top considering other sites are run down to the ground because in fighting all the time. Not saying it does not happen here but very much more controlled here, which makes for a better runned site.

I usually always rate high because I am easy to please usually but I gave the overall rating a 7.

It is not perfect. Why anonymous. Not scared to let people know what I think. Publicly and privately.

Okay going to be quite now before I get slapped or hit over the head with hammer.

EDIT
P.S. 7 is my lucky number and such a good number. Maybe that is why I picked 7. Too me it is really good. Lol, Joe no sucking up.

The pokyness from time to time is the major drawback.

After midnight on weekends is the most likely time for whatever reason.

Just bumping this one up for a while.
Seems we have a 1, but no reasoning behind that.

If we don't know what's wrong how can we fix it ?

Good Question..?

Did find that thread until Joe posted right now :eek:

I'll say... hmm, I know what to vote :)

And Shazzy, you'd be more bored if you were on the Dutch site... there hasn't been more than 20 questions for the past few weeks through the whole forum :rolleyes:

Da bug guy is da bomb
But he really is a smart-aleck.

After Yahoo answers this is heaven. It's also the only one I got an answer on in three days when I first joined (about thermostat wiring).

I voted 10 but I'm easy to please. ;)

Shazzy, you think the dog forum is slow, try the other pets forum. I get giddy when there's a new question. Sadly it's been a lot of fish questions lately and I know very little about fish, other then the fact that I really like them dipped in tartar sauce. ;)

I hope no-one thought I was complaining about the traffic... it was just an "I wish" thing ;)

I can go to YahooAnswers and see 100 dog questions every few minutes, but about 90% of them are trolls... 9% are idiots and 1% are genuine... There are only about 6 'answerers' who have a brain... that's why I'm here now!

I voted 10 also, but I have nothing to compare it to.:)

I like the site - I'm giving it an 8...

Moderators keep things from getting too hairy or dirty, there's a core group of posters that are pretty smart (and funny too sometimes - heh), there's a flow of new posters some of which I wish would stay, others that I can't wait until they go... and I often get to learn new stuff like how to fix my furnace (just jokin', it's summer here at the moment), but if I had a furnace, I'd sure know how to fix it by looking at this site!

Only complaint is that I'm in Australia and I'm usually not on-line when the bulk of responses happen because that seems to happen US time, which is when I'm in the land of zzzzzzz.

There could be more questions (I tend to focus on Family & People), but I guess that takes time.

I voted a 9. I think this site is awesome. I have found all info I was looking for and more! I hope I am not one of the new posters that are "wished to be gone"! My only draw back is the slowness sometimes. Sometimes it boots me out and I loose my posts... yes, I know, I know, wrtie it in a word document and copy and paste... Yes I know. LOl. Other then that I REALLY like this site a lot! And I hope you all like me!

Nova Scotia, well hello there... Just wanted to say hey and wave to you.

Hello B'ye! Waving back!

Of coarse you aren't "wished to be gone" Aurora!
You have been great on this site, glad to have you here!

Thank you!! K it's setteled, I'm not going! Not that I was thinking of it anyway!

I’m knot a blonde! I’m knot, I’m knot, I’m knot!

LOL... That's a great quote :)

Thanks! Makes me laugh on so many levels... OK, well just 2. My spelling and I am blonde...

See what you've started ;)

I'm knot amused. ;)

Aurora, you are a very welcome addition to AMHD. Your advice is great, your caring is very evident, you're also funny, it helps. :)

M, stop flirting. She's in Canada like me, you don't stand a chance. ;)

*blushes*

I just got all giddy, and a scene from some movie poped in my head "they like me! they really, really like me!!"

Thank you! :D

Me!! Flirting!!


Never Alty ;) :D

Me !!!! Flirting !!!!


Never Alty ;) :D

That would be like me saying;

"Me!!! Naughty??!!! Never!" :rolleyes: :p

That would be like me saying;

"Me!!! Naughty??!!! Never!" :rolleyes: :p


Difference is I denied it , and you just admitted it ;)

Admittance is one of the first steps!

I am Alty and I have a problem. I am naughty and a notorious flirt.

I especially like flirting with hunky Aussie men. They flirt back but deny it. I think I have a problem.

Wait... maybe it's not a problem. After all, the Aussie guy does flirt back. Maybe he should join Flirting Anonymous with me. I think so. :)

LOL! Ohh goodness that was good. I am weak.

Not my best work but thank you. :)

I don't need to advertise. My personality comes out no matter where I go. ;)

::cough::

We should really take this somewhere else.

Very true!

Ben put it in member discussions. He knew I'd be here. He knows what happens when I join a discussion. :D

Okay, okay.

Meet me here;

Both of you. :)

I gave this site a 10 because I am easy like Alty. Well...

I also enjoy coming here to learn new things. I think that's what it's all about. We come here to find the answer to something that's vexing us, and we stay to help others, and then before you know it we are hooked. Hooked on interaction, data, sharing, and greenies.

I don't mind the slow part. You know how we talk slow down here anyway? I type as slow as I talk.

Overall, this site is the best I've seen. With it's various topics and sections, it's a "10" site in my book.

I wish sometimes we had virtual tomatoes to sling (hurl, fling, chunk) at the trolls. (Or real rocks).

Plus, I got a good rabbit recipe the other day...

Don't we all. :rolleyes:

Seriously, I have said it before, I will say it again. I love this site. :)

I know you're all sitting there with bated breath waiting for me to say my piece. (Yeah, right!)

During the past ten years, I've been a member of several Q&A sites -- all different, all pretty well organized, and each offering a variety of ways to interact with questioners as well as with other "experts." As a site failed or changed into something else, I migrated with many of those experts (who gradually became friends) to other Q&A sites including this one, my most recent "home."

I don't have trouble with site speed or accessibility, and because I'm on sick leave from work, am here nearly 24/7. It's the best organized and best run site I've ever been on. And I'm never bored here. Not only do I read many of the threads (how much I have learned! ), but I have never hesitated to jump into the pool for any type of question (except for the plumbing and HVAC ones).

I have only two beefs. The first beef is that too many first posts are chat speak-y, and that curdles my teacher and librarian blood, plus it's a site no-no. But then, how do you tell a young person desperate for advice to rewrite the post so it's in good English? My second beef is that a mod will sometimes shut down a thread willy-nilly, for no apparent reason. Occasionally, the "in-fighting" is actually productive discussion for the topic at hand, but the mod sees only the disagreements. Therefore, I would like to be appointed as a "mod watcher." :D

Cht spk bugzz me 2!

Sorry couldn't resist! I find it really hard to read the entire post when there is no periods or crazy abbreviations. I can handle the spelling, because I also am a terrible speller, but would kill someone to add a period or a comma??

Mod - watcher hmmm. Interesting Aunty WG.

Well I give it a ----.

We are absolutely the best. I don't mind slow even when I come on before I go to work to just veg out a bit. I guess I am just too patient, but not ambivalent, so don't through me out with the bathwater.

I'm glad of that. Nobody else here is as much fun to argue with. They all take it personal or something'.
