I do feel that as non-paying members, we shouldn't really be complaining lol, but it is so frustrating when you have to actually work at work, instead of being able to be on here all day. So much effort!

define your definition of non-paying?

Sponsors pay to be on this forum in the hope/expectation of gaining business from our custom. We indirectly pay for this forum by purchasing from Sponsors. If we cannot get on this forum or read a sponsor topic, then a Sponsor cannot do the level of business he would expect and should in turn by compensated imho.

I know nothing about server hosting but with plenty of sponsors onboard, surely more money should be spent to improve the quality of the service.

You make a good point Nick, a very good point. If people start to stay away because it's too much of a hassle to read any of the topics then forum sponsor's business will diminish no doubt.

Totally agree. I count 28 sponsors at £15 per month. £420 a month should be enough for some decent hosting!

It would cost approx £10 a month to move this to superior hosting. £20 a month and it would be near bulletproof.

If finances are an issue, then I'll consider funding it - Leo and I set up this forum and it'd be ridiculous for it to die from lack of financial investment.

Simmy is partially correct. Moving it is a reasonably large undertaking thanks to the various mods that have taken place over the years and the amount of data in the database. I am inclined to believe that it isn't the site itself that is causing us the problems, rather that the hosting service on which we sit is shared amongst far more accounts than most would reasonably believe is sensible.

We are looking at the alternative options, and are in the process of copying the site and setting up a test host to make sure that migration is not going to be an issue. Please be assured that work is going on to try and deal with these issues and that we admin are extremely frustrated by what is going on as well. As we make progress we will keep you informed and will be asking members to help us QA any moves to make sure nothing is broken.
