July Update
Added 2023-07-04 22:34:00 +0000 UTCHappy summer and happy 4th of July!
This month I won't be able to do much work on the forums as I am going to be traveling for almost the entire month for work. The forums are still in good hands and running smoothly.
We recently moved to a new server provider to increase reliability and backups. However I am still having to pay for our previous dedicated server until February 2024 because we're locked in a contract. I couldn't wait that long because of how slow the site was running so we will be paying an extra ~$120 a month until February when the contract expires :(
Some other good news is that we are now using a better CDN provider for the images. I've been able to cut our costs in half for distributing images and increase load times of the site. So that's some very good news.
There has been some other slight improvements with the forums, one plus is now a native request to delete profiles and request your PII profile.
While I can't work on it this month I do have a long term goal of cleaning up the Discord and making improvements where I can, so stay tuned there.
Have a good summer! We'll see you next month.
