Truth!!I was starting to get the shakes! Thanks @redsquirrel, appreciate all you do.
A few hundred people are paying $1.25 a month to support a huge database of information, a nationwide classified section, and interactive conversation on topics from life or death safety issues to giant beavers that has to be constantly moderated and somehow is still ad free.Seems like the site is down more than it's up the past few days. And I remember this being an issue before as well.
They're paying someone for hosting. Hopefully they are starting to shop around for a provider that is more worthy of that money. I haven't seen a website this fussy since around the Y2K days. And that's not rhetoric.

The fact the site works at all let alone 362 days a year on the scale it does is a testament to the people running it.
I bet it was the giant beavers.......beware of the giant beavers!A few hundred people are paying $1.25 a month to support a huge database of information, a nationwide classified section, and interactive conversation on topics from life or death safety issues to giant beavers that has to be constantly moderated and somehow is still ad free.

I cannot wait for that day to happen. It’ll be like heaven on earthNo offense gents but it's only a website. Life goes on, believe it. I'm just wondering what people will do when the intraweb goes down. Holy moly. Life as it should be. And it probably will happen.
Agree 100%. I went to some other website the other day and I had to dig around for a while just to find the actual content of the site. It was wall to wall ads, and the annoying moving kinds too that I bet can induce seizures in some people. While I'm on my little soapbox, can I just say I hate, absolutely hate those cookie popups that hit you just as you are going onto a webpage. These are the kind that you have to acknowledge and accept cookies before you can proceed. Their cookies cost some folks money the other day. I went to a site to buy something with card in hand and bam! Immovable cookie prompt. I X'd out of the site and never went back. I hope they like cookies because they didn't get a sale. Vent over, lol.After it went down the first time, I tried to click on this thread... And it crashed for me again. I was a bit wary of clicking on it again this time lol...
I also think it's fine, I do NOT want to deal with more advertisements etc (ugh archerytalk sucks now compared to "back in the day". So. Many. Ads. ) so the current level of uptime/function is awesome to me.
Just showing a little praise and gratitude for this community and the good people hard at work to keep it alive and well.No offense gents but it's only a website. Life goes on, believe it. I'm just wondering what people will do when the intraweb goes down. Holy moly. Life as it should be. And it probably will happen.
