I have been facing problems right from day one of usage. Sometimes the slides load, sometime they don’t. Suddenly you face an error, nobody knows when, how and why. Frustrated, I tried deleting my account. Guess what, there was an error there too! Phew. First time I tried deleting my account, there was an error message saying “Amisha slipped.” Second time it was “Vidya”, third time it was “Lisa.” Ridiculous…for a second I was in doubt if they were running some drama company. I made a serious attack at the feedback section. Below is the conversation (my name and email are masked(xxx) for personal reasons): [[Email thread starts]] I am in no mood to kid about your service Rashmi. Initially I was very fantasized about your very new innovative service, but that was short lived. Earlier today, I was trying to delete my account from the profiles page…nothing happens. Each time an error page loads up saying “Amisha just slipped…..”…a new lady each time I try. True, your server names are funny though, the service is really pathetic. Files don’t get deleted, refresh rate is slower than my granny, account also doesn’t get deleted. Till date I believed, Destruction is easier than construction….I changed now.

I am in no mood to kid about your service Rashmi. Initially I was very fantasized about your very new innovative service, but that was short lived. Earlier today, I was trying to delete my account from the profiles page…nothing happens. Each time an error page loads up saying “Amisha just slipped…..”…a new lady each time I try.

Hi xxx,

Can you clarify what you mean? Are you facing any problems with the
site? I went on the site right now and it seems fine.
