Anybody else having issues?

I'm not sure it's traffic oriented as I have seen the guest count in the 500 to 600 range and it was working fine. There has been issues for the past week where the discussion board has been unavailable for a few days at a time. The google popup ads have been absolutely overbearing, even worse on a mobile device, perhaps that in itself has something to do with site availability? Nonetheless, glad to have it back.

It can't be traffic, can it? I mean, back in the day when the snow was flying, there was a few thousand of us on here every hour. Now, there's just a handful of us.

Allow me to vent. Not sure what you consider "back in the day" but this website was upgraded a few years ago because the original could no longer handle the volume of traffic. I suspect our numbers have decreased due to no longer posting weather forecasts, etc. The current issues are another matter and likely have affected traffic too. But I can assure you there is more than a "handful" of interest. I see the numbers each day and they're in the thousands, not hundreds or less.

If I sound a little sensitive to this, I am. This has been an on-going problem and frankly I don't have the solution. Someone does, but I don't!
Until that someone comes up with a solution, we're in a holding pattern. Nuff said!

Gary,

do you mean the traffic is in the thousands? Mostly people just popping in to check but don't login or posting anything? That could make sense since it does appear there is a small group who routinely post here lately. I realize riding season isn't in full swing yet.
