We just wanted to drop in and apologise for the lack of notifications on our Twitter, up until today we didnt have access due to mail server issues and the fact the main server was brought offline - we are back and happy to keep you updated as normal.
On April 5th 2019 we notified you we were planning a member prune for all those inactive, zero posts and zero likes accounts.. that post was made 1yr 8 month ago giving plenty of warning!
We pruned and cleared out thousands of accounts - stay active, and help contribute.
Quick Update: At this moment in time the server is running some internal cron tasks which are causing quite a lot of load on the server - we have taken the decision to leave the forum in maintenance mode until these tasks are complete.
We are busy working hard to resolve issues with our server causing very slow responses - during this time you may see a "Server 500 Error" or the forum offline for maintenance.
We will be as quick as we can.
Its been a while see we tweeted but we just wanted to know how you feel about the new look of the forum and to wish you all a Happy New Year 2021!
All the best.
People are getting confused with the member cleanup message:
Those accounts that have been sitting with 0 posts will be deleted - we have accounts that have not validated their emails, provided fake emails etc., it is those accounts we are targeting.
Be active, contribute.
Members may experience some delays or even temporary loss of service while our host continues to resolve some internal infrastructure issues - sadly this is unavoidable and beyond our control.
A quick update: the server remains offline while the host resolves some internal issues with their infrastructure.. we will be back as soon as we can, but at this moment in time I can't give an exact timeframe.
...get some family time.. have a beer and enjoy the start of 2019!
