Apologies for the interruptions again. Crawler activity has been steadily increasing, most likely AI-related. I have increased resources again to cope with it.

Apologies again for the site being slow and unstable these last few days. It turned out it was due to Facebook's crawlers hammering the site. I will be making a few changes over the next 24 hours but the site should still be up and running. You may get signed out again every now and then, so sorry about that and it's OK to just sign back in. Technical details are here for anyone that wants ...

Apologies if you are having difficulties connecting or are getting signed out. This is due to a lot of activity crashing some services. I've increased resources so that should help.

@TRB, 1) Lynne's posts are not irrelevant. 2) I'm not giving you a public warning about the lengths of your posts. I hope this clarifies things for you.

@TRM, as I already said, you don't get to decide who can respond to your posts on here because it is a public forum. If you'd read my last post then you would already know I'm not giving you a public warning about the lengths of your posts.

@TRB, I never said there were rules about the length of posts. The fact that you had to post 2 paragraphs in response to Lynne's post shows what she wrote was clearly relevant.

@TRB, If what Lynne posted was irrelevant, it wouldn't have needed a two-paragraph response.

@TRB, when you address someone they have a right to respond. Also, as this is a public forum, anyone can respond to your posts, and you don't get to choose who. If you want a restricted discussion where you can choose who posts, you can create a group. This site still has this functionality.

@TRB, the final paragraph. It's not a question as such, but it is addressed to Lynne.
