There are > 9000 members (and growing every day)
+ no one has had to pay a penny for membership on information that MJ should have provided (but couldn't or wouldn't) ...
= it is bound to happen eventually.

So, I won't complain b/c it has been an invaluable source of the right information at the right time.

I am sure folks who are concerned about the performance can talk to the mods and see if they will let someone host a mirror or a new & improved site using different software or different hosts.

(Might not even be that complicated, maybe forum2u might just need to do DB maintenance ...)

Agreed. Ads would produce enough money to host this forum easily on our own hosts.... makeforum is prolly cashing out in ads anyway. I also agree with testing123, because this should be done by MJ (and MJ did have forums, but they shut it down). So not really anything we can do about it unless the admin agrees to move it, and i don think they want to. I talked to people in multiple chats, and on forums. I also talked to the makeforum people and asked what kinda servers they used. The people in all the chats and forums said nice shared hosting would be sufficient and a VPS would be to much. But, the makeforum people said that they use "high quality" servers. The did not share any specs, or details on the server. I do not get why the forums 404 on people when there are about 12 people on, on average. Some large forum (this is nothing in size) could be on the same server eating up resources. I love theses forums and all, but we all gotta send emails and annoy makeforum to give us some more resources or move us on a non-shit server or the Admin needs to step up and move this into a different host. All the current posts and users are transferable with some $$.

Peace

It took 5 times hitting the reply button to make this reply.. SHEESH!! Can only guess how many tries it's gonna take to post it and that is the only reason I took a step and made another forum at proboards. It even has it's own chatroom. http://unofficialmagicjack2.proboards104.com/index.cgi

Nothing at all to do with the operators of this forum, it's not their fault.

*** So far it has taken 6 hits on the submit button and you can see, I'm still stuck.....

**** Taken 8 more tries and still here.... sigh .......
