What happened with the forum this morning? I wasn't able to access the forum until about noon today. Was there updates that took longer than expected?

Several of the brand forums were offline while the main websites were still up. I contacted the site owner early this AM and never got a response. Not sure what was going on.

It was @Darksteel165. Ever since the mods deleted his posts and accused him of trolling, I figured he launched a cyber attack on the forum. 🤣
Or could have been the mods chasing a recursion loop caused by posting threads about not being allowed to discuss not being allowed to discuss not being allowed to discuss ... 🤫

The ads are what pays for the site. I looked for a place to contribute and didn't find it. So it's the same business model as free over-the-air television, paid for by the advertisers. Sleep through the ads if you're not interested, click on through to the good stuff. 🤷‍♂️

You can purchase the ad free version under account upgrades. Something like $25 a year.

That reminds me; it was time for me to renew. For those looking for the Account Upgrades link, it's under your username in the upper right (or just use the link I provided here).
