I am still here - tho it seems every other time I come here the site does not respond and seems to be offline.
Tho I have been working websites for 21 years, I am not a database developer, and would not know where to begin to separate the actual content of ths site from the poorly design forum software it runs on.
At a guess, the problem is it is not scalable - the more messages and posts in the database, the longer it takes to respond. Just a guess -
but it does seem born out by the overall perormance of the site, always getting slower and slower.

Since its running on custom/proprietary software, its not likely to be easy to move the content to something more usable
like WordPress, or VBulletin (Lansing Forum) , or XenForo (AudioKarma), just to name a few of the more known audio sites...

That said - I do wish you well and hope something good comes out of this crisis ...

I used to come daily, but now it is generally only weekly. It is so impossible to get in, and so slow, that I usually give up. The initial load usually times out, and I get a server error (on the hostboard side).

There are less and less posts, and I assume that is because site access is so bad. When you combine limited content and difficult access, you get site death. Really a shame, as this is (or was) a really excellent resource for a superb product. Too bad it is bring brought down by the terrible hosting service.

Was a near daily member from the beginning till first my net service provider's and later hostboard's, poor service made it increasingly sporadic.GM

I used to be a daily monitor but after many years of being a user - the website is working way too slow for me for the past 2 months. Way too many errors to use daily. Would love to see it corrected as I've got much value out of the site.

This post which used to take 15 seconds is taking minutes.

Ditto the above posts.

This is my first attempt to post in several weeks. I did not experience a "time out" at any step which seems to be an improvement. It's just consistently sloooooowwwwww to load.

Still lurking, whenever possible.....and suspect there are others....

I just noticed that the board has sprung back to life !

The pages show up in 2/3 seconds !

This is so pleasurable a feeling...........indescribable.

Hope this thing is permanent...

I usually try to log in daily, however, the site has not allowed me (error message) to do that for quite a while or if I do make it to the web page when I click on a thread I get an error message. Today is unusual in that I was able to get to the web page without much trouble .... don't know how long that will last though.
