Ian,
I have been very busy the past two weeks and have not been able to follow closely the horrible problems you've been wrestling with to restore this site to reliable operations. For most of this week, since the site was moved to a new server, it was taking my browser 30 to 60 seconds to load the home page...this morning it was 10 seconds...a vast improvement.
I'd like to recommend that you send all members an email describing what happened...it's so weird to be cut off from the community and not know what's going on. To restore confidence and get members back, I think a weekly email update for the next few weeks would help a lot.
I would also urge you to ask moderators and other leading contributors to step up their posting for the next few weeks...we need the community to re-assemble...I don't recognize the posters this week!!
Finally, I'd like to say what I imagine many people are thinking: I didn't realize how much I valued the messageboard until it wasn't available. Thank you so much for making it possible and for your constant efforts to improve it.
Many thanks,
teamplay
