Thank you all for your patience in recent months, we've had some outages and the recurring security certificate issue.
Put simply, the issues are caused by the forum becoming more popular. This is a good thing! But more simultaneous connections than we are used to has put pressure on our server's RAM (which in turn has led to processes being randomly killed, including the security certificate), and we had to already do a big upgrade of our disk space a couple of months ago because we were full up of attachments.
Thank you to those of you who joined or upgraded their Patreon memberships to support the recent upgrade - it has made the decision today to upgrade again a lot easier. If you would like to join our Patreon,
it's here.
Further to our server space, I've also commissioned an upgrade to the XenForo installation on the forum, which should be installed by a professional during the next few days. Xenforo was last updated on this forum in 2020, so there may be some noticeable changes. Above all, it will be a more stable and efficient build for the site.
Thanks again for bearing with.
