Thread: At What Point Can The Web People Be Fired???

    At What Point Can The Web People Be Fired???

    At what point does Randy fire the people in charge of handling the website???

    Epic failure all the way around. Embarrassing. First qualifying session of the season and the !@#$% site is down!

    Why do they make it so bloody hard to be a fan.....

    I think they demoted Barnhart to head up their web page.

    I don't think anyone I knew over the past several years is even left over there, so, they've done it already.

    I think the other race ran long and they're sorting through. Website's first week so I'll let them slide. If it continues then we have a problem.

    They just revamped the entire site and it's the first race of the season. Give them some time to work out the kinks.

    Looks like qualy started late. Green flag dropped at 2:03 and T&S came up right then. I don't see a problem other than being a few minutes late to start quals.

    Their department head is Tony George's nephew. That should answer the Job Security question.

    Timing and scoring hasn't changed, man. It's the same as it's always been, and, to no surprise, the audio stream is silence. So, no excuses this year. They've had PLENTY of time to "work out" the kinks with T&S.

    BS! It's a new skin. Same old crap hiding behind the pretty new facade. It's just a different wrapper. Still same smelly garbage inside. And even if it is all brand new guts, get your butt down to Sebring and do a preseason run through and iron out all the frigging kinks before the start of your brand new season.

    Well as others have said, Qualifying started late and Timing & Scoring is up and running. So it's a moot point.

    The no web audio is pretty inexcusable.

    Lack of audio is an embarrassment when its ALL you have to offer for fans who care to follow Qualifying. Streaming audio could not be easier. It's pure incompetence. I defended them last year, I won't do it this year.

    It's REAL bad when you're pissing off one of your league's sponsors and they're starting threads complaining about it.

    Yeah the no audio sucks, I am an indycar fanatic, but I have a real hard time being captivated by just staring at the timing and scoring for the next 2 hours or so. Hopefully audio gets fixed soon.

    More importantly Mary's grandson. Nepotism has been hurting this sport for the past 2 decades. They desperately need to hire someone with pertinent experience from outside the sport.

    The solution is very simple.... Everyone that works in this department needs to lose their job. Fire them all and outsource it to someone that knows how to do it. One failure in the season, you're fire too. Simply a pathetic performance by a bunch of clowns without the ability to do the job.

    I'm getting audio from the IndyCar app from Verizon. Better than nothing.

    Yes! Clean house. Fire everybody involved. The site is a joke and always has been a joke. It consistently fails.

    I don't understand why they can't get an audio stream to work?
    Wanker!
