[quote=Kaga]I agree that the Guild has been improving in the past 24 hours, but that's likely due to decreased traffic thanks to Christmas Eve. I expect it'll get worse in the long run if Mahz doesn't fix the server or that "cache issue" I've kept hearing about which is probably adding to the problem.I'll keep an eye on things for a bit longer, but I'll also start preparing to move.[/quote]

*Mini-rant incoming*

It's not helpful that Mahz has only ever posted one update, weeks ago simply going "working on it".
Especially considering his reputation to promise stuff and then never fulfill it. Like your WOTM issue, when MDK gathered me and others to try to make another kind of contest we were also stopped in our tracks because Mahz never made the new section like he promised.

This issue has persisted for years.
I defened Mahz when the Old Guild crashed, cause that was the businesses fault and not his.
But I'm not going to defend Mahz this time, I might have if he was in a bad situation IRL and kepted us at least somewhat informed as to that he's busy and what the issues are.

But considering he's basically maintained radio silence, expecting other admins and mods to defend him with claims of 'IRL stuff' without any details as to anything either on the Guild side or IRL side. And then the only actual insight we get had to be [url=http://pastebin.com/fK3bheqm]leaked from a private IRC chat[/url] because he's so lip tight about the issue? It's no surprise the site is falling apart and people are leaving. And the admins and mods getting defensive and hostile towards those left and concerned about the trend is not helping matters.
