Have any of the mods/admins reached out to 41? This place is absolutely unusable today. It's taking 30-90 seconds for each click to register and load today. Apart from BTB, my internet sites are loading fine.

I think we broke the site last night

Can somebody check on Hammy? Does he need food? Water? He's not doing to well this morning... things are kind of sluggish around here.

It was flagged to 41 last night and he said he'd get in touch with the server team.

Can we have a serious discussion with what the board can do to help?   
 

I totally understand the ads but could we have a tier where we pay to not have the ads?  Would that direct revenue help stabilize the board?

The reality is, the board is supported by one generous, all-in IU fan who doesn't need revenue help from us, will do what it takes to get the tech company in place and doing what they are supposed to, and doesn't want to have managerial staff to handle revenue possibilities or alternate business models. Shooting for a 'set it and forget it', but with zero glitches.

The mods (as much as we joke about it) are unpaid posters that like y'all, are serious IU sports fans whose only goal is to make this place a sane, follow-the-stated-rules, free expression zone of entertaining and thought-provoking awesomeness. Oh, and the mods are extremely handsome and charismatic.

Hey, Stu, you forgot the "and incredibly humble" to the mod/admin description.

Seriously, I'm lovin' this place... and appreciate all of the effort that goes into keeping the lights on and the plates spinning. It's clearly a "first world" problem, and we're incredibly lucky/blessed to have a site that works very well 99% of the time. Of course, that 99% of the time makes the 1% "struggles" more annoying.

Keep on keeping on, and thanks to 41 and the staff for all you do.

I was having trouble during last night's game. It was really slow -- at least for me. I wondered if it were my laptop getting sluggish, but other websites were humming along. 

It would take 30-45 seconds just to post a comment here -- and I didn't want to deprive everyone of reading my thoughts on the game. LOL! By the time my comment would post, they'd be 3-4 possessions on down the line.

Same, and was still sluggish this morning, but it's much better now...

Don’t think the site would survive a tourney game. Been awhile since it’s had to :(
