Why is the site running slow?
The site usually runs slow on peak days (when we have a lot of traffic). And since we rolled out medals system it has slowed down even more. It will take some time to get back to normal because the medals system is doing 56 million queries right now. For now, we are going to roll out all of the medals one by one.

Your medals are not removed. They do not exist because we had to remove them. We are bringing them back one by one. Only 35k members have got the medal that is available on the site right now. It has to go through 4 million users so please be patient.


Why are there so many dead attachments on the forum?
There have been a lot of server switches since the forum was started so due to data corruption the attachments are not working anymore, but we are trying to recover the files that we can.

Update: We have managed to restore the thumbnails of the images. We tried to link the backups on the new server, but we'll have to do it manually for 77,000+ images and it's impossible to do it manually. We can't restore the images unless there's a way to do it automatically and not one by one.



I've been on the forum for years why am I still a "New Member"?
Because you leech more than you contribute. Start contributing.
