…and waiting and waiting and waiting. This wouldn’t surprise me if it was the early afternoon right now since the board seems to go down for a couple hours just about every day, but it’s 1:00 AM CST and MPSIMS simply won’t respond! The other forums are unbelievably slow, but at least they work.
I thought admin was going to start trimming old posts. What happened to that idea? Hell, why not just snip everything since last September or so? Nobody’s reading 6 month old threads anyway. I don’t think people will mind their post counts being lowered a bit in exchange for _a board that actually works!_

I’m relieved to find I’m not the only one who can’t get into MPSIMS…

It sucks I can’t get into MPSIMS either. This is a reoccuring problem that you guys running this board should nab in the but. It is a fixable problem. Do you guys need money or something. Just have everyone on the board contribute a couple bucks every once and a while. Smart people aren’t poor.
C’mon this is LAME.

The server was reset earlier today. Things should be better now.
