    Any updates on the forum issues?

    The Forum has been clunky for a while and it?s not getting any better.
    Any updates on what?s going on and if we are on a path to recovery?

    I haven't seen any updates in a month and the last one hoped the upgrade would be done by Christmas. Now that announcement has been removed. I know Kestryll has had a very challenging year so I have the bad feeling he has given up on this site.

      Perhaps site ownership ought to transition to more capable operators.

        Heard that they're finally transitioning to hosting it on an upgraded Sega Genesis console.

          Have to admit as a fairly longtime user and I was a contributor it's been disappointing to see what has become of the site.

              The next upgrade on the roadmap is servers hosted using racks of PlayStation 3s.

                It's been abandoned...

                We're just riding out a decaying corpse.

                  What's it been? 16 months? 20 months?

                  I've seen countless hosting company changes happen within 1-2 days....5 days at most.

                  At this point, advertising revenue must be a disaster. If you were paying for advertising on this site, and had to click 10 times and wait four minutes to see your own ad, you would just stop paying. The ads are still there, of course, but they aren't paying any longer.

                      Anyone have an idea of what it costs to change hosting companies?

                        This is by far the slowest website of any I use or visit, and I have a pretty rapid speed setup with Xfinity. Quite frustrating. No excuses, except possibly money? I for one would be willing to pay a one-time assessment to get this fixed. But CalGuns does have advertising revenue in an unknown amount.

                          I'm inclined to think it's less about money, and more about lack of attention/concern/interest.

                          And there are multitudes of reason for the latter - all of which only matter to those in charge (our opinions of those don't matter really).

                              Operational control of the website really should transfer to someone else at this point.
