    Crazy!
    Maybe sites promoting liberty and solid, foundational values are quietly being “examined” in a certain way….. :sherlock:

    Well, all I can say is that that would not be in keeping with the current watchlist, so I kind of doubt that.

    When I leave FHC and go to other sites, they seem hypersonic by comparison.

    It is getting very frustrating. I am surprised to see some posts from yesterday. I tried off and on but was never able to connect. Patience is beginning to run low.

    I apologize folks, life is busy right now.

    Really busy.

    Doing some investigating it appears we are going to have to upgrade our forum software ro run on a better layout. Going to contact them and see what the full upgrade involves/entails and bring a tech guy on board to help get it all figured out. Our host (Ron) has been very helpful at getting things figured out for us, but there's only so much he can do as the software is outdated and prone to attack. The glitches are being caused by this issue. If you're frustrated and wanna leave, so be it. Hate to see you go, but I'm not gonna beg you to stay. There isn't a single dime of profit made on this forum (and believe me I could've put all kinds of advertising and other BS here to make money) but I've done my best to keep it ad-free and more enjoyable for the users. So your patience is required from time to time, because it's 100% voluntary admin and moderation here.

    Thanks for the update Scotty. Im a patient man (for the most part) so I'm not going anywhere. Love the FHC and the folks I've grown to know.

    I appreciate your efforts (as well as the rest of the behind the scenes FHC crew). Keep us informed as to what is going on when you can,

    So Ron helped me make some adjustments today, please keep me posted on the site speed. We.were being attacked through a foreign entity. Seems to be lightning fast for me ATM. Let's hope it stays that way.

    Why do they attack? And though we love this site all our info here doesn't seem to be of value. Or is it?

    Yes, the site is really snappy and responsive right now. Fingers crossed it stays that way for a while. Thanks!
