No... ha ha

If I have had a bad enough experience to not go back, they have gotten more more changes.

It is kind of sad, because there are several places I used to love and no longer go there. One place was family owned and built a big business with several locations. Then the old folks retired and handed some locations over to the younger generation and the closest to me is one of them. Of course it doesn't matter that they had a booming business the way they were, the new gen changed some things to make it "better", but it definitely is not. Bye-bye old favorite ! I'm not going back.

There are SO many choices here though and I don't eat out much, so I suppose it isn't a huge deal to me.

On another note, my "favorites" never loads anymore. Does yours still work?

Sometimes progress doesn't work out, I bet there's so many cases of this, as you describe, and I wonder if they ever look back and say to themselves, we fucked that up royally and should not have sought to change what was working well. A lot of the time it's to drive revenue, cut costs and so on...sometimes ego as well as some just want to be seen as outdoing the next place down the road. Sometimes good old fashioned service and quality win the day right?

The favourite list hasn't worked for a long time which is rather pathetic to be honest as I use it all the time...used tonuse it. I always thought highly of Peakd, now it seems shit most if the time.

It's crazy, right? A family business, more than one around here through the years, hard working folks that paid their blood, sweat and tears to build a quality business whose patronage was passed down from generation to generation.... successful.... booming.... then some young whipper snapper thinks they can do it better. One completely ran the place out of business within a very few years. The other is still going, but some of their locations are struggling. It makes no sense ! Dummasses ! LOL

Ok on the favorites. I knew mine hadn't worked in a while, but for a long time, it would work and then every so often, I would have to hit the reload a few times, but it would eventually come up. For a few weeks now.... no show ! I follow more than I had on my favorites list, but sometimes I come in for only a moment here or there and I didn't want to ever miss my votes on folks that had been extra good to me or for some reason I was giving my small support. It sure made it easier to be able to pull that group up first. Oh well..... I am still finding most, but I am probably missing something once in a while too.

I use my favourites list for those I want to support but not follow...those who sometimes post something interesting but often post gaming shit that I am not interested in. Not having it means those people aren't being supported now and that's sad. I wonder why it's not fixed.

I don't keep up with a lot of technical and "things are changing" news around here. (That made me laugh when I typed that).... but I was beginning to think that maybe they discontinued it on purpose and I just didn't get the memo !

Yeah, seemingly the memo was lost in the cyberspace of...cyberspace. that's if there was a memo. Having said that, it doesn't make sense to remove it but leave the link to it. Oh well, another mystery for the annals.
