If calling it as it is is whingeing then call me a whinger.

The site has been underperforming for ages and the fact it's been taken out of service would appear to indicate that this has been acknowledged.

Bear in mind that you have (at least) seven other sites providing a similar service...........it's a competitive market.

If people get tired of repeatedly receiving a standard

"The MoneySavingExpert.com forums, have a minor glitch. This is most likely because we’re performing the regular Forum back ups and this means the capacity is temporarily reduced (or that the site has a huge amount of current traffic).

All should be ok in a minute. If you wait 30 seconds to a minute, and refresh your web browser, everything should be ok. So sorry."

then they'll stop visiting and use one of the other sites. Which is of no value to either the site owner or the people who visit the site.

After all, isn't this site all about sharing information that allows consumers to get one over on retailers?
