After spending more time on forums than is really good for you, I feel that I am reasonably qualified to comment on how good this Remote Central .Com site is.

I frequently get frustrated at little features OTHER sites do not have because I am used to them on Remote Central...

1 Remote Central is fast compared to many other sites

2 The site never seems to be down unlike others

3 The search feature actually works!

4 When a thread has multiple posts the first pages are shown then…….and then the last few pages. This feature is brilliant! I know it’s a tiny thing but it makes your site a joy to use

5 The fact you can use basic HTML

There are many other things about this site which are amazing but I don’t think I have taken the time to say thank you before.

I have noticed this page

At the top is a Pay pal link to make a donation.

I hope many of others feel the same way as myself and will and have rewarded you for all this site has given us all

Once again thanks

I agree, this site is great.

One of the other features I love, is that each forum has its own time stamp. So it is not reset when you come to the site, but when you enter a forum. So if all I have time for is one or two forums on the site I don't need to visit all of them or the stamps are wrong.

Thanks Mr. G... you have no idea how much comments like these are appreciated!


Lotsa processing power, baby - the server I bought for RC has way more processing power than the site currently needs. Keeps it fast, even during peak times (plus, plenty of bandwidth).



It's been down more times than I would like - once early this year due to a faulty switch and for a few hours longer than I would have liked late last year when it was moved - but at that point the server had 400 days uptime with no outages. Believe it or not there's been two hard drive failures, but no one on this side would have noticed. :-)



Forum search works surprisingly well (I say "surprisingly" since I programmed it)... not overly thrilled with the site search package I'm using right now, but it's something. I've got plans to make major changes to the forum's behind-the-scenes structure, and one of the holding-up points is how I can keep the search program creating the same type of results it does now. With a database structure it's not so easy.



Yes, I get annoyed by generic "last page" links as well. Not sure why this one isn't more popular elsewhere, just seemed logical to me.



People asked, so it was added... most sites don't allow it for security reasons. I put a few filters in to stop certain things, but otherwise there's been no problems...



Again, this just felt logical to me. I'm eventually planning to move this feature to the server side, so your read forums will be maintained no matter what PC you are on.

Well, thanks again guys - and now back to working on this massive review....

Just like gaming - no such thing as too much power. :) (Do I hear Tim Allen grunting somewhere?)


Gotta love hot swap RAID arrays. Seriously - this is the best forum I've visited by far. (Probably why you can't seem to get rid of me.) Cheers.

cool, that would be a nice feature.

Honestly I brought it up on some other forums (times stamp per forum) and was told that it would be to much processing (it was server based like you are thinking of doing)

Thanks Daniel

Best site I've ever experienced!!!

Thanks Dan

This site is great. A priceless resource.

Suggestions to generate a little revenue

a) Paid feature - auto spell check. - I desperately need this
b) Help wanted section
c) Place to post resumes
d) Idiot tax (Can I have exemption status on this)

Have a great weekend.

Amen. Amen. Amen.

Bless you, my son.
