That's the absolute wrong answer and is an example of poor admin in my opinion.It's 30 minutes. In a 24 hour day. Just log off for half an hour and come back when it's back to normal. You're going to let the other 1,410 minutes of the day be ruined by 30 minutes of slowness/downtime?
There's an ongoing pandemic that's wreaking havoc on businesses in general, and as of the last post from the admin it's an issue with the hosting company and he's not able to fix it himself while the hosting company seems to be affected by the pandemic. Every forum member is affected by the slowdown, it's not something that's personally targeted towards you. Complaining about the issue is doing absolutely nothing, it takes more effort to get pissed off than it does to just log off and do something else for a half hour.

If "Muh, Covid, Find something else to do" is Kevin's opinion, that needs to be known. Communication from @Spark is what's needed here, if the answer is "Guys we're shit out of luck" then members can work with that and make a decision about where to spend their money. "Get over it" is not acceptable whatsoever in my opinion.

Thanks for making that clarification Matt.I'm only speaking my own opinion here, added a note to my post to make that more clear.
Spark's last post in this thread was a while ago, but if the situation is as he described back then I don't see it as having the ability to be changed right now. It would be nice to have an update post, yes.
Thanks for making that clarification Matt.
My Moderator badge is granted and renewed with the purchase of my subforum, it's not bestowed based upon merit like in the case of a SuperMod. A lot of members aren't aware of that so I try to be cognizant that some folks will think that I speak on behalf of the forum, which I don't. I limit my administrative controls to the subforum and only Spam outside of it. I only bring that up because, as a SuperMod, I think there's a fine line you have to walk as your Administrative type posts reflect Bladeforums directly.
I'm a strong supporter of his site and like I've stated before I will be as long as I can. I hope that this problem isn't a case of neglect and we can at least get an update.
I think most problems in the knife community stem from a lack of communication. There's a lot of members here that have a valid complaint that needs addressed.
Well said and we're in agreement. My personal.schedule puts most of my quality posting (WIP posts and good lighting pics) between 7 and 9pm but I work around it. I think the problem here isn't so much the wound itself, but the seemingly lack of attention given to it.I'm fresh to the Supermod scene so I'm still getting used to that aspect of it, i appreciate the reminder when I make a post that could be misconstrued. Been a Gold/Plat member for as long as I've been a member of the forums but have only been a super for a couple of weeks.
I'm with everybody that the lack of an update is annoying considering the circumstances, I may just be able to forgive the lack of an update a little easier given the current circumstances. Most of my activity here is not affected by any slowdown (I still haven't experienced slowdown any other time but that half-hour slot in the evening) so it's easy for me to just log off for a bit and move on; I know it's not the same for everybody.
