    This is true. But I also wonder how much of the issue is also time and maybe even expertise.

    So many sites have ads to help defray at least some of the cost. And then they also will offer membership of some sort to shut the ads off and/or have other perks. This must also be more of a time suck administering it all.

    This is a huge issue, one that we will discuss and work on figuring out. We are literally "outgrowing our britches".....

    On another note, the site seems blazing fast here for me today, how does it seem for yinz?

    Another forum I used to frequent had a similar issue with pics taking up space and decided to just dump stored pics when they aged to 5 years or so . It meant any old threads visited had a bunch of sad broken file image instead of a stored pic but old threads really didn't float to the top very often. It wasn't a firewood forum. Maybe not a welcome idea on a hoarder forum but sometimes ya gotta do what ya gotta do.

    Site seems very responsive today.
