If I thought it would do any good, I'd start a petition to bring back Erwin. At least the site worked under his management, and he *gasp* communicated with the members.

Maybe Lee can pay him to get the site running properly again.

A Bit of 411 from another thread.
Okay here's the deal as far as I know. With the updates we're planning for the site, it means overhauling alot of coding and upgrading. Since this site is as HUGE as it is this means taking the time to plan every little detail out so that nothing is lost or crashes and we have to start the whole site over again (I don't think we want all our posts going bye bye).

Only about 2 or 3 SA's can really do this type of upgrading to the site. And it takes hours to find the right coding, re-write coding to make sure it fits to Lee's specifics (though SA's have given ALOT of input on them as well) and what we know members want too, and make sure it'll actually work before bringing it to the site.

Now do this repeatedly with ALOT of new updates---yes we have alot of wonderful things planned. So it takes time and energy and all we can ask is that you not hate Staff (particularly SA's who honestly can't do much at all) and have patience--- I can't do any modding at this point because I can barely load 2 pages every few minutes, let alone do any work for the Angel ministry or send pms to my friends or post in member forums.

I think one of the reasons we're having so many problems is because we've already updated parts of the servers, but we're using poorly written coding. But it makes no sense to spend time trying to re-write bad coding when we're trying to focus on writing new coding to make the site even better. Right? :)

So please have patience with this site--- we're here as a community and I know we all just want this site to be up and running normally so we can converse. I'm sorry we can't offer any more updates on stuff, but really we don't know any more about the situation--- we just know where we are in the process, but we're not sure about a time table yet.

If any of you want to privately vent your frustrations, feel free to fill up my inbox (no pm's will be reported for vulgar language or flaming, I promise lol).

now before ya'll go postal on Chrisbot, it wasn't his fault.

The servers are just wonky at the moment, and something has destablized the site.

The folks behind the scenes are trying to identify the issue and stablize everything so we can work on crossing over into the upgrades.

Everyone is affected by this, even staff as well. We're all in this together and frustrated as well. I ask for patience and prayers for the tech folks, as this is tough situation to work with.

ChrisBot I talked to you one day when I was feeling kind of down. You were nice to me. You actually tried to answer my questions. Okay, sometimes your logic was circuitous, but you did try.

Is this a pun?
