    I think we set a new record today with 4,995 Guests.... There is a big problem and no doubt part of the problems we have been having with the forum.

    Whoever did it, thanks for fixing it today.

    That seems to be the new norm for mornings here. Somehow it miraculously gets fixed in the afternoon. Meanwhile the member participation keeps dwindling.

    It's been completely unavailable for me the last few early mornings (0430-0630 or so, EDT) with the "fatal error" message on a white screen, then it works fine in the late afternoon. What's different that time of morning?

    Who would’ve thought so many bots needed to learn about firewood?!? Maybe one of them will be smart enough you can send a picture of a log or tree to and it’ll tell you how much firewood it is :stacker:

    I noticed a couple other forums are now only available to logged in members due to bots. I wish I could remember which sites, had to be something chainsaw or firewood related though.

    I can't keep from wondering is these problems are related to Iran. When that situation started I've had more junk mail than ever and the forum also has had more problems. Also the wild increase in "guests."
