We are looking into upgrading our server - if any of you can help with prices please PM me.

Thanks!

Well, so much for the big boys huh, lol, hey, I know how it is, this stuff isn't cheap folks, it takes at least a hundred bucks a month for a forum this size, and it's content, I feel your pain. I don't know who to tell you to go to, as the prices are all about the same, you obviously need a dedicated server, and the more you upgrade, the worse it will get. This vbulletin is a hefty program, I've learned that much, for the time being, I would recommend you shut down the unneeded add-ons, I would start with that picture program, let me/us know how that goes, right now, it's painfully slow, and you're losing members fast!

They will be back - folks know a good thing when they find it.

I think we *finally* solved the issue.

EDIT: Maybe not solved, but we are working on it - I promise.

I love you too! You know you would miss someone from the extreme of the spectrum to explain how stuff is going down... Just to remind you it was me that said embedding US troops in Iraqi units... it was me that said Bush would stay the course... it was me that said Iran wants to control ME oil and blackmail the other states... today on Fox News Col. Ollie North almost repeated word for word what jewels I've been giving you guys... It is a north - south magnetic pole thing... it's natural to repell the opposite...

Good news!!

The website appears to have stabilized - we had to do some crazy tests, tweaks and reboots. If you were affected this evening, please accept my applogy. So far, we have lasted about an hour without incident and without errors.

For those that utilize the email notifications, it should be resolved shortly.
