Sorry for the down time

It's actually good news, we've outgrown another server. I'm going to be purchasing a new server for CoinTalk in the next few days, which should give us room to grow over the next couple of years. What you can get for the money with web servers changes enough every couple of years that it's a good thing to get something new regularly anyway, and we're approaching three years since the last server upgrade. Thanks!

 

BITE YOUR TONGUE !!! Bite it I say !!!!!!!

 

I can't take credit for that. All I do is yell real loud

 

Yes. After all the software SNAFUs over at Collectors Universe last year, and the user-unfriendly, counterintuitive platform they eventually landed on, I am VERY firmly entrenched in the "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" camp.

I love these boards, because unlike even the new (not-fantastically-improved) CU platform, everything here actually works. Nicely.

Well, except when it doesn't.

But last night was a fluke.

When this site is up and running normally, it can't be beat.

Why do you think I came over here after 15 years and 60K posts on CU? Their new software sucks, that's why. (Plus I've grown to like the culture here.)

Ain't broke! DON'T FIX IT!

But yeah, by all means keep the server running.

And thank you!

Nice to see The Magnificent Oz Peter actually exists posts here occasionally.

 

Unh huh, ya know Chris I could always create a sticky at the top of every forum section that says something along the lines of - Thumbnail are always the preferred option for posting pics, and please post everything in the form of a Poll.

Just for you buddy

 

Wellllllllll, the trick is ya gotta wake 'im up first !

 

Thanks for all the kind words. It's mostly about having good people supporting what you do, from the guys who created the forum software, to Matt W who helps me out when the server is too broken for me to fix, to all of the moderators and Doug, and all the members and especially supporters, because everyone who participates makes it worth doing.
