I know there was a crash, and a rebuild. But seriously days without any posts....ugh. Almost 1 mil registered users, an average of 500 active at a time and 3 or 4 people talking in forums. Come back peoples, lets chat

It's been a while since I popped my head in here (I was off in Afghanistan for a year) but wow....this place is a ghost town- even more so than before and I'm a late comer. I'm sure we lost folks who will never come back but it would be nice to see it back to the pre-crash days.

After The Great Forum Crash, I got busy with a lot of other stuff in life, devoting more time to other things that posting here didn't allow for, and didn't check back on the forums for a long time. (I still used the Guide and MyCollection during that time.) I just came back onto the forums very recently to all the new changes.
About the Forums: I'd love to see a feature where you can view your most recent posts. A "Now where WAS I at?" thing so you can quickly see if people answered responded to your posts.
About the Guide: I'd LOVE to see a more frequently updated "Recent Value Changes" and "Comics To Watch", and longer lists of both.

I kinda liked the old point system too. Not that anyone was going to catch up to Ox but it was fun
Well until Tex started not posting regularly on the old forum noone would have been able to keep up with him. I was just lucky to be able to post and visit regularly. BTW if you thought my number were impressive you should have seen some of the post counts over at the CGC forums. Some of those guys were in the 20-50K post counts. That would have been huge in the point on the old CPG forum. You got something like two point for just posting a comment/response.

We're a small team. We were just as crushed as you guys by the data loss and it's an unfortunate lesson we continue to pay for and learn from. We could definitely use some help getting the community active again and if you're passionate about bringing it back, please consider applying to be an admin or a moderator here.
I will be reaching out to all applicants this week to begin structuring our team and making a path forward.
I've done just that and applied a few days ago. Can't wait to hear back.

What kind of errors? What's the message you're seeing?
It initially told me that my login didn't take. It was going real slow. I tried again. Nothing happened and no confirmation. I tried a third time and it told me I was already logged in. I opened another window and tried other sites. They were working fine without any delays. Then I started searching and I got several weird errors, but I don't remember exactly what they were. Everything was working at a snails pace.
This site was initially built in the 90s, and coding has changed a lot since then. While we've done a lot of updates to the engine and the heart of the site, at the end of the day the framework is super old and definitely leading to some performance problems.
That's why our new launch will be more or less a fresh start with newer tech and coding standards, and we hope it will limit some performance issues like this
