Join the club. Lots of issues that are affecting many users if the feedback I get is any indicator.

We have had a pretty good run but I think the writing is on the wall.

They should consider either killing it outright  or passing it on not let it die of neglect is my thinking these days.

Sad. This community deserves better.

I just cannot sit around quietly watching it die.anymore.

'Nuff sed.

And even though I am not an editor or anything, can't figure out how to get IRC to work, and can barely check my own email, but I hear the chatter.

I believe it is a relatively simple problem with the from-end links not meshing with the back-end.
I know my wife has this type of problem at work almost daily.

The server itself is not jambed up.  It is just confused.
Example.  The board, store, and photos are on the same server?  I think that's what I read.
We all know how long it takes to load a story via the links.
So a photo should take as long too, right?

Time how long it takes this photo, on this server, to load...

That is something it is not confused about, so it loads fast.

BTW: There's another one of these going on over in reviews :-/

Since the update this forum has been slow at times, for a bit I thought it might be my browsers, so I did the IT thing and ran ccleaner to clear out any possible nasties.  Nope still slow, poped a few emails out to see what's up. Then came the "WE'RE moving notice. OKAY made sense.

Only real replies I got where from NON-Admin people ( TomW my apologies for asking you when those emails should've all gone to ADMIN) ....Until I sent one showing the back door to ALL the pics Forum and NON-Forum alike was wide open :-(), THAT got a response.

As Ghurd has said, I'm been emailing stuff instead of posting since those go through. However they can only go so deep before the thought gets lost.
I now only use this forum as a tool, no longer am I currently using it as a social networking forum. Email will work just fine for that.

Publicly I offered to help if having a second server would make things better, no response, maybe the ADMINs don't think they need it? or maybe they don't believe me??, makes no diff to me,,, I offered, and got NO response.

For ALL those complaining: have you taken a look at how fast the "otherpower" loads?
Not just the main page, but ALL the buttons and links, they go as fast as a co-located hosted server should.

I hope I'm wrong, but maybe, just maybe, the forum needs to go back to being just a forum, which in the beginning was merely a place to get answers for products.
I'll keep coming back here and checking on stuff and to help when possible, otherwise if it's running slow, I'll go the email route.

For the other post over in Reviews: Hidden adgenda? If so then that's fine, maybe they're moving into winter mode and trying to get things buttoned down, SNOW has already arrived thereabouts.

I remain hopefull that the bugs will get worked out, and not too many old timers go over to the website(s) that have been spawned by this one and not return.
