OSUOSL is great. But it's pointless when none of us can get the access we need to the server and when the person that has/controls that access takes forever and a day to communicate and/or wont budge. Help has been offered in sysadmin for years from multiple devs who are sysadmins by trade and who could handle the complexity, and there is absolutely no change and it is not allowed. Further, Stefan is being generous... it has been more like 10 months, nearly a year since OSUOSL asked us to replace the fan. This is frankly embarrassing. We cant even get a model number so that one of us could personally drop ship it to them. That really looks bad on us... Again that is basically humiliating. With all of these issues I think it would be a great improvement to moved to sponsored cloud hosting. We would actually have access and not have to worry about the hardware maintenance.
