Is it just me, or are there problems with the forums? Everything is either very slow to load or it just won’t load at all.

It's the site. Not sure what's happening, but it seems to be more in the latter portions of the week right now. But some days the site is super slow.

When (if?) we find anything out, we'll let y'all know.

I get this message for several areas of the store. Been going on for weeks.

Prime boat shopping days, and the site has been down for weeks.
I need 3 props, an impeller, a tach, a bilge pump, and a boarding ladder.
It feels like someone pulled the drain plug and the boat is sinking.

We're not really sure what is going on with the store. And to the best of the MODs knowledge, the site isn't being too actively maintained at the moment.

The forums are hanging in there, and we're proceeding like business as usual. But, outside of that we're all kind of in the dark.

Pretty sure the forum part could be sold, look at THT. That company was buying up forums at the time, this prob would be a good fit. That said, I bet there is some background stuff happening we all are not aware of. The sales side has had issues for some time, even having posts about it from upset customers.

I think we will be OK.

It would be a Frost Day in Hell before I will ever Pay to access these Forums. No, make that a Frozen Wasteland in Hell...

Things aren't purchased for the Public Good. There would be a Price if it were to happen
