Server issues?

Sadly the forum "layout/structure" works really well for consolidating questions and responses and reddit and FB and other platforms just get bogged down with thread after thread that could be answered/responded to in previous threads, but their layout is such that it would be impossible to follow a similar structure.

Without a forum structure, sadly I will move on to other hobbies and adventures because the few times I have tried to watch/follow stuff on reddit, it is just a dumpster fire in lack of organization.

You're right about the Reddit stuff - its a place for whiners and losers that don't seem to have a grasp on reality; lots of misinformation especially
The forum structure is the old school proven method - in fact many academic institutions still use forums to monitor productive and healthy discussions

Facebook (aka Meta Instagram) is even worse - you might even encounter a chick or two that happens to strip away every last of your civil rights its where f**K buddies are born
The Discord is full of goons that seem to sit behind their computer all day long sipping the Kool Aid

Discord, Facebook, and Reddit are more prone to bots, scams, fakery, and a lot more.

Therefore, it is crucial this forum is kept alive whether it involves moving to a different host or building your own self-hosted server.

@Mike, I tried a DM but it, like much of this forum, that would not work, so here it is:

Please cancel my IPCT+ Gold membership for $8 per month, I'm tired of it taking 10 minutes to make a 10 second post. It's not a value any more, I don't care about the ads as I won't be coming here any more anyway. It's a shame too after 12 years it's because of the crappy server response, too many errors popups.

It would seem it's fixable but despite all the reports and complaints to you little has changed.

Best wishes to you and your family, Mike

I was paying $10 p/mo but cancelled it the last time we went through this

Are there even any other admins or moderators to reach out to on here?

Forget Discord, Reddit, etc., I've been taking care of this website for 12 years and plan on doing it forever. I'm working on the server issues (which I can't replicate on my end for some reason)! Stick with me, I have professionals looking at it now!
