OK BobMC was kind enough to send me an invite to the FB group. Still rather be here but is this thing fucked right now.
I have a strong disdain for fb, but I love the community here.
Please pm me the password for the Facebook group

Never had a FB account,and I’m not starting now.
I emailed earlier this afternoon and got a VERY fast and informative response that shows they are working on it and still care:
"Summit, thanks for reaching out, and thanks for being a loyal forums user. We have been dealing with quite a few forums issues over the last year plus, and have been doing what we can to keep it going - but we know that the aging tech has caused for a serious decline in user experience.
We are dealing with a significant server issue this week and last and it will be another 5-7 days before that is fixed. That will help a bit, but we know it isn’t the full answer.
The good news is that we started a replatforming process a few weeks back that will dramatically improve the experience, but the bad news is that it will take us until August to have the new experience up and running.
I hope we can keep you in the mix until then, and please do spread the word. Reach back if you have any other questions or concerns.
And again, thanks for being with TGR so long and we hope the new platform stokes you out come this fall.

Thanks Summit. Good news
Worth the twenty five 502 bad gateway messages to receive that post Summit. Thanks man.
Only 25 for the 502 errors, you must be an occasional visitor these days. Then there are the additional Gateway 504 errors on top of the 502... First attempt that has worked in probably a week...
The site is loading today. Good job, new Drew. Now, the big test: words with apostrophes... aren't won't isn't we'll just see what the fuck happens.
Whoa, site is working phenomenally this morning. Let's see if apostrophes are working...
Negative.
The bar for "phenomenal" is incredibly low with the TGRs these days.
I'll remain optimistic. Things are improving. The forum is improving.
The whole digits and apostrophes issue is like a [emoji637][emoji[emoji6[emoji640][emoji638]][emoji640][emoji6[emoji640][emoji638]]] minute fix for any decent programmer. Dealt with the same issue like…. Twenty years ago. lol…
A [emoji637][emoji[emoji6[emoji640][emoji638]][emoji640][emoji6[emoji640][emoji638]]] what fix?
I wonder whether they'll be able to fix all the fucked pics? Was reading some older threads and a lot of the pics are now missing.
"We are dealing with a significant server issue this week and last and it will be another 5-7 days before that is fixed"
Why the fuck are they hosting this on their own server?
Perhaps due to the capital investment in box fans and doorstops?
Is it a state of the art blade server farm?
For what its worth, 502 errors seem to be cropping up on the main page also, so it seems to be an issue bigger than just the fourm, as suggest by Summits post below which I cannot quote.
It is probably a step above a grass blade or knife blade server performance wise. And the farm is as in it was time to put it out to pasture some time ago... https://www.tetongravity.com/forums/...ular_smile.gif
I’m assuming this is part of an effort to move all of Red Ventures individual companies to a common platform. I don’t see them ever restoring these forums as they were. Wouldn’t be the first time some venture capitalist sucked all the soul out of a company leaving an empty shell.Quote:
