My apologies. I admit that I wasn't sure where to put this thread, or even really how to properly word it. I hope it doesn't come across as complaining.

The aforementioned "thread that must not be named" in the news section discussed the problems and possible solutions to great lengths.

I found that thread only seemed to gloss over the practical problems of the site, and was more just a bickering ground. Perhaps it would help for those that really understand the issues (ie Mahz) to lay them out so at least there's the potential for people to offer advice, solutions or their services. It is of course possible that there is nothing the community can do, but we won't know that without discussion.
