Telling people what they want to hear is usually a crowd pleaser.

Quit calling people names!

Speaking of gay things, why are the Village People now on Mercury Records? Didn't they keep Casablanca Records alive after Neil Bogart died?

They sent me a message that they were upgrading the hosting and added cloudflare.
There might be some issues over the next day during the DNS propagation.

Thanks, Bart. The site is already moving faster, for me anyway.

The site is still getting slammed by bots but whatever they did has made it more stable during the attack.

Ah I see I wasn’t reading the prior advice about the next day as being specific to vpn etc. thanks for letting us know.

It’s weird I’ve actually had a couple other slowdowns with cloud services at work today and a streaming service being insanely slow as well. I wonder if it’s something rather broad and not specifically targeting the forum but rather the hosting provider in general probably or their parent entity.
