Yeah, this day has been plagued with shutdowns to this site. What can we do to try and reduce these problems? I'd love to hear from ya.

Can't make any positive suggestions, as I don't have any in depth knowledge of what the problems are, or the expertise to propose remedies. I just hope significant numbers of members don't respond by leaving the site - that won't solve anything.

It will free time for members to do more productive things then retrying to post.

^^Exactly: no one knows how to fix it, even those with technical expertise in the area because we don't have access to the internals, only Alex does (as it should be for security).

Many members have pointed out the diminishing frequency of posting over the past year or so, but surely it wasn't as bad earlier today as this GAD notification seemed to suggest? NB magnification needed to view graphic properly.

Yes, I like it a lot. A particularly good choice if your eyes are tired or you're generally overstimulated.

The way this site is set up only Alex can fix anything and it seems obvious he's pretty far removed from WP these days. So basically fixes are not going to happen and things are probably just going to get worse.
