We're working on migrating the forum software to vBulletin, which we think is going to be a pretty big improvement for the site.
None the less thanks fortakingthe time to chime in here, much appreciated

Due to the problems with the server handling multiple people, I have been notified that access to the site will have to be rationed out.
The following rules now apply:
1. All posts must be 20 characters or less; and
2. If you logon starts with:
A - C your time is 1:00 AM to 1:10 AM
D - F your time is 1:10 AM to 1:20 AM
G - I your time is 1:20 AM to 1:30 AM
J - L your time is 1:30 AM to 1:40 AM
M - O your time is 1:40 AM to 1:50 AM
P, R - S your time is 1:50 AM to 2:00 AM
T - V your time is 2:00 AM to 2:10 AM
W & Y your time is from 2:10 AM to 2:20 AM
Q, X & Z you have the rest of the day!
Hopefully, this will help the server keep up with the activity.
Thank you, this has been a public service announcement!

This kind of sounds like the new county employee rating system we "tried" to introduce this year. The county "thought" the system was flawless.......it turned out to have more bugs than Pamela Anderson.

Internet Brands, which owns HuntingNet.Com also owns Vbulletin. So the switch was coming sooner or later.
Honestly, that they screwed around with ASPPlayground as long as they have is a testament to IB for not wanting to disrupt things here. They are not our enemies.
We've had problems with this current forum software for years. Maybe you guys couldn't see it but trust me, it was no cake walk. (ask any of the mods how long there have been huge glitches that just could notget fixed)
SO.... I'm not looking forwardto another big switcharoo either, but it's either deal with it being slow or try something else.
So for now, keep hitting refresh and direct your agnst at more important things... like trillion dollar spending bills.

We're working on migrating the forum software to vBulletin, which we think is going to be a pretty big improvement for the site. Right now we're just waiting for some hardware to free up. I don't have an exact timeframe, but we're looking somewhere in the neighborhood of a few weeks.Moving to vBulletin will give us access to more features, and it's a platform that we're more comfortable with as a company in terms of maintenance and performance optimization.
I know it's been a tough couple of weeks, but I think everyone's experience is going to improve when we're able to push this migration live. Thanks for your patience while we work on this.
