I'm not sure why, or if it happens to anyone else, but this forum is a major frustration in hung and lost server connections. Perhaps it's my connection, I really have no way to determine it, but while it's hanging POA, I can slide over to FB, LI, mail, or another page on Safari and it will be just fine.
Now, I am fully aware that this site is a work of one person's charity, and I respect that and the fact that he has maintained to honor the no advertising sponsor format. I also respect that he has chosen not to take donations due to the expectations that they were buying favoritism produced in prior such campaigns in fund raising.
However if this is an issue due to the cost of stepping up to the next level of service going beyond charitable means, might I suggest a solution? There are now a plethora of crowd funding solutions, and many of them provide the ability to introduce a screen of annonimity. This provides a barrier that screens the people seeking advantage from donating by eliminating the proof to claim.
At the same time, could you please buy the V-Bulletin patch to automatically resize pictures when they exceed the frame? That is the most annoying thing about this board besides the server hang ups.
