The tone makes the music, as we say in German, and that is so true. And the tone amongst us posters could stand a little improvement, in my opinion.
I can't tell you how much I enjoyed the dialogs between Beaver and his pals!! It was so heartily hilarious at times, my body was shaking with laughter... I could have rolled on the floor!! That I missed in the other forum, where one was always a target to someone or a group of them. Once a clique has formed and banded together, they pretty much run the forum and ultimately destroy it. Another thing I observed was, that a forum gets divided into liberal, conservative, free thinkers, the far right and Jewish fractions. The problem starts when the administration takes sides and favors one group and undeservedly punishes another. THAT I have not yet noticed here, thank God!
Us all, together with Andem, can make this forum one of the better ones on the web!! Nooo Sweat!!
gell, Chris?

I think the issue of people posting less will decrease now.
We run a network of servers to handle the load across the entire site. Our search engine has a dedicated server, for one and databases are hosted on another.
Since we lost a server to hardware failure a while back, it's been difficult to maintain the stability of the site but I've recently shuffled things about and have found the loads to be perfect right now. Less errors, faster loading times and a better user experience should be expected now!
Let me know of any slow-loading periods and I'll run some diagnostics.
