working a little better now. but threads still take time to load.
It's taken me two days to get to this point. So, while I hope that the board is improving, I'm not holding my breath, just keeping my fingers crossed!
Just an idea: is it possible this is being caused by this "Cloudflare" that keeps coming up whenever efforts to access HB time out? Maybe CF has always been part of the board, but I wonder if it is a new security measure that is causing problems with access speed.
I hope that people are still sending their email addresses to Anubis, so that we have a workable email list for the future.
Let's hope the board improves over the next week, but we should also keep thinking of contingency plans. I have an idea that I want to run by XP, but I think it could work.

Since the WeTransfer backup is no longer there, was just wondering is there a way to reinstate the backup?
Some somewhat good news from my end: over the past day or so, I've managed to gain a bit of reliable access to the board. It takes forever for each function to lead (at least 30-40 seconds each) but all of them are loading and not timing out. It's far too early to say that this access will be consistent and it is still unacceptably slow, but at least it is working (in a fashion).
Other alternatives are still necessary, however. At this point, given its many other problems, the board is barely functional.

May I make a suggestion? Google Groups. It is no-frills forum-based. Everyone can easily get a gmail account, and best of all, as stated per their content policy, they absolutely DO allow adult contents.
"Adult Content: We do allow adult content on Google Groups, including images or videos that contain nudity or sexual activity. But, you must mark your group as 'adult' in your settings. There are some exceptions to our adult content policy:
Do not use Groups as a way to make money on adult content. For example, don?t link to commercial porn websites in order to make money in your posts.
We do not allow non-consensual or illegal sexual content, including image, video or textual content that depicts or encourages rape, incest, bestiality, or necrophilia."

I am 1000% with you JB57. I had exactly the same idea. I tried to find Annubis but i was not able to sign in here for a LOT of time. I believed that the forum was closed. I tried in DEVIANT ART which was a place Annubis used to be a lot of times i searched for him or for his great5 job. Annubis IS NOT in Deviant Art anymore. I have not seen next messages about this problem yet. I am still in the beginning. But i DO VOTE with enthusiasm about your proposition. Let's exchange emails !

Was he Annubisx ? Because he was VERY often in deviant Art, he had posted some stories there. Then all of a sudden he is not there anymore. Not his stories also.
I have no problem with Google Groups if they are OK with adult content. However let me warn for two things :
1// i do not know their security level or how they manage everything posted there. I am out of US, my English are not that well for this kind of check. So you my friends who live there, try to find out, it may be crucial.
2// Take a closer look at the legendary story of Angel's "Private Eye" . It might be cut there as they have mother/daughter and two sisters in making love scenes or sexfights. Not in just one chapter. I mean in 6 more or less, if i remember well. Just to let you know. If lesbian incest is not your cup of tea, OK. But i had to say this. The women in these case are over 20 y.o. , they were posted here without any problem, that's why i make this post. However in Google Groups, as you said... there will be a "cut" for these stories.
These are strange days with this board.
I've been out of the country for a few weeks and come back to find the board cannot be accessed. I don't know if this is a prelude for things to come, but it seems like it's time to gather and save all the materials we can, because this board may not make it past 2018. That would be a shame, because this board has terrific writers and the stories give us a chance to explore our creativity without a lot of restraints. Hopefully things can turn for the better.
