Emergency Forum Platform Upgrade and Maintenance Notice

[Tech Admin]

Dear Members,

The forum platform powering this site has become significantly outdated, making it increasingly vulnerable to DDoS attacks, which have been affecting server performance and overall site functionality. To address these issues and ensure a smoother, more secure experience for everyone, an urgent platform upgrade is necessary.

Please note that this upgrade may cause some temporary disruptions, which we will strive to minimize. Additionally, the site’s appearance will undergo some changes due to the new platform version no longer supporting the existing theme.

We appreciate your understanding and patience as we work to improve the forum for the long term.

Quick Update: The largest phase of the upgrade is now complete. We will monitor server performance and continue with additional improvements tomorrow.

I'm good with the computer, thanks. It's better to spend less time on this internet anyhow.

The problem for me when using mobile is that advertisements keep getting in the way. Hopefully this is just a temporary solution, but one way to get around this is to request the desktop site in whatever browser you’re using.
