The forums have been incredibly slow for me the last couple days and from more than one location.

Well, I am but maybe that's because I have 60 Gbs of Internet every month with satellite broadband.

What host are you using for the website?
ID#2 - May still be alive, but might just be busy or inactive.

Probably has the largest video game library of anyone here.

Currently still GoDaddy. Who aren't fantastic but are cheap and moving would be waaaaaaay more hassle than it'd be worth.

It shouldn't be too much hassle, besides it makes more sense to simply have the domain under a registrar and use a more specialized web host for the website. If you want, I can PM what I use personally.

The domain is with 123reg IIRC, the web hosting is with GD.

The issue is just mostly anyone having the time to take it on; I'm already doing the majority of the admin and I'm currently totally pushed to my limits, CG is Head of Staff but has a real job etc which is time consuming, and Son of the King (tech staffer) is quite inactive at the moment for similar reasons. If we had the staff time to do it, sure, but certainly it's not something I can currently commit to myself and the other relevant people seem to be in worse states for work than I am if anything.

123-Reg is a decent domain name registrar, especially for a .co.uk TLD. If you want, I can take a crack at it for you, I have the free time to do so however as can be expected, it would not be the best move to put your trust in someone who has just come back. I can offer guidance though, if it's desired.

Yeah - probably discussing it with SOTK at some point when he surfaces would be the best thing as in theory it's his bailiwick.

What benefits d'you think we'd really gain from a change of host (as opposed to simply spending more money)?

How much do you currently spend now per month, as it might even be cheaper. I believe with a switch, you'd have less chance of downtime, as you wouldn't be using a solely domain registrar for web hosting, but one which would be more dedicated to hosting websites.

On an unrelated note, the captcha system has been changed, let's see if this helps with our spambot problems.
