For the past two nights - Monday and Tuesday - the site has been down from 2 am - 7 am South African time: no access at all. :question:
Wednesday 7 am: back up and running again. Strange. :question:
It has been off-and-on. I can get on in the morning here, most days, and cannot later in the day. :question:
Has the site gotten too big or something?
Trevor, I blame the Daleks.
Trevor, I tried to get hold of you on FB but you deleted your account. There is a badmovies fans group you could join and get updates.
Could not get on last night or this morning.
I think we should all be prepared to part company.
My love to all.
Maybe we should make a new forum, or a back up forum just in case.
Just doesn't seem viable anymore.
Maybe the Rev's right and we need to move to facebook somehow.
I don't care for FB, but when s**ts hittin' the fan...
This is getting weird.
Earlier today I tried to log into the forum and I found the following.

FB's terms of service bug me. I don't want to give them a license to use whatever I saw in whatever manner they wish. :/
I may make my own forum as well, to which you would all be invited. You would have to share it with the weird movie fans, however.
I suggest joining the Facebook group (https://www.facebook.com/groups/45273210567/?pnref=story (https://www.facebook.com/groups/45273210567/?pnref=story)) only to share and get updates on the site's status, not as a replacement for this community.
Will we get to keep our hard earned karma?
Man, I do hope this site stays around!

I think we should have a back up plan, but let's not be eager to jump ship before anything happens.

Thanks Rev but I took a major decision to delete my FB account and I won't be back: this is the only site I go to now. Withdrawing from the Net in a major way.

I hope not :bluesad:
I don't think the site is going away. My view is that there are just problems with the current webhost, probably because the database has gotten huge, and Andrew is not on top of things immediately like he was in the past. This place still brings him a small amount of income with almost no time investment on his part, so I imagine he'll keep it alive until the hassle outweighs the income.
This is all speculation, of course.

It makes sense why he don't want to give the site away. I do think it's annoying that site was down for a few times. And it seemed to go down a little longer, each time.
I would like to join a new 'bad movie' message board, or even a new website that's a little more updated (I love Andrews work but it hasn't be updated for years). I have a facebook account but I'm not much a fan of facebook because it's not designed as a messageboard.
If the site does go down. My email address is: Richardstaschy@gmail.com
Skull! Nice to see ya back! How ya been, buddy?
