As most of you have noticed there has been a lot of downtime on the site lately. My host, apparently doesn’t think it’s important to notify users about any sort of repair or downtime on their servers that would result in the downtime of it’s customers websites. I assure you they heard me out plenty on that issue. I’ve been having issues with the host (if you want to know who it is, pm me) and I’m thinking of switching over to another 3rd party host. There is ~15 minute downtime about 3 times a week when website is not accessible and customer service, although friendly is quite useless. Either way, my apologies about the past downtimes and any future ones that might happen (hopefully not, but let’s be realistic here). I’m going to try my best to get any downtime resolved asap and get the site back up and running. Big thanks to Lyndon (crAppAchic0) for resolving the last issue :bowdown - Vlad ---

> [@K20power](#): > > Time to switch to VBulletin?!? :ninja It’s not a software (SMF) issue, it’s a server host issue. It’s looking to be a few months when the vB is going to be done and operation, but I promise to have a good surprise for all once vB is up. Something that would be very unique on the forums and will bring plenty more members for you to post whore with :thumb ---

> [@Mk4 30R](#): > > are you bringing back the apg forums, or taking over another local forum Unfortunately APG forum (and it’s data) is gone forever. Also not taking over any other forum, any move towards a _merger_ that has attempted, has been met with resentment in the past from the other side, even though my intent was pure, and at this point in time there is nobody to even try to merge with. As a clue I’ll leave you with this… We will get bigger while staying smaller :ninja ---
