I'm not aware of any issue with the site (server/uptime). AFAIK, the site has been working fine.
Welcome to the PMBug forums - a watering hole for folks interested in gold, silver, precious metals, sound money, investing, market and economic news, central bank monetary policies, politics and more. You can visit the forum page to see the list of forum nodes (categories/rooms) for topics.

So for a couple hours yesterday the site wouldn't load for me (all other websites were fine) is that due to the mass influx of invaders?
Thanks...
Some of us OLD folks just ain't as sharp as we used to be...lol
I needed to edit this post...lol

... I think it would be wise if we know something about your forum and existing members....Is it safe to assume that this site leans mostly conservative???
I don't care if members lean liberal, conservative, libertarian or whatever as long as everyone treats others with respect. You can disagree with people without peeing on my carpet. A variety of worldviews makes for more interesting conversation than an echo chamber. $.02
Lights are going out in March 2023. The board owner is retiring and not passing the torch.So what's the deal with this GIM2 site & why the mass exodus?
He tried like the devil to pass the torch. Nobody stepped up, including myself. I recognize it takes a lot to run such a site.Lights are going out in March 2023. The board owner is retiring and not passing the torch.

There are really only a handful of active members that have stuck with this site over the years. Most of them lurk more than they post and I don't recall where most of them reside though I know @rblong2us is across the pond and @11C1P is somewhere near the rust belt. We used to have more active members from Australia, Europe, Asia and so on. We never really bothered too much with politics aside from how it impacted (global) monetary policies. I used to post some political stuff related to domestic issues.

... can't really find a forum that fits best so STS or BSTS sort of becomes a catch all.
The GIM2 site has over 10K members. Not sure how many are active.
Yeah, that was my intention. I was planning on adding forum rooms as needed to keep things organized. But I am happy to consider suggestions if you would like something specific.
Like most long lived forums, I expect a good number are inactive, some were spam(bots) to begin with and maybe 10% are still lurking/active.
My other site (the one that used to pay all the bills) has over 6K members, but most are inactive as described above.
I either didn't know or forgot you had another site. What was that site?
GIM never deleted inactive members. That's why there are so many.Like most long lived forums, I expect a good number are inactive, some were spam(bots) to begin with and maybe 10% are still lurking/active.

Yeah, that's pretty normal actually.Most 'members' sign up and never post.
It's not related to metals, investing, politics or anything that would be of interest to members here, so I've never mentioned it. It's a peer support site for a medical condition that affects a member of my family.
Abeland is here, his info on collodial silver is amazing.There is a lot of useful info related to medical conditions from GIM members as well as Avalon is a nurse if my memory serves me right...
No guarantees on that memory though
Your memory is flawless!No guarantees on that memory though
It seems that I made it in.
Active members...The GIM2 site has over 10K members. Not sure how many are active.
[Just sayin'.]
The ozone.Where am I
In before the lock!
I think he meant before Bug changes his mind and locks us all outWhile there may be some that have been locked, I don't recall any threads Bug has locked.
Just think of it as being bicoastal.toggling back and forth between sites is just making me more senile. Where am I
If this is any indication, Bug, you be in trouble now...
looks like the GIM boys are in town
