Richard, right now post are down everywhere it isn't only here. I can't really say what's causing it because
it's effecting FB and Twitter also. The one that's doing really well is Whatsapp, they hit the internet with
an entirely different format than anyone else had ever seen before. Even FB has admitted that they were
hurting their site attendance. It's free and international, so you could voice talk all want to someone in
Australia at no cost. Where a phone call could run as high as $5.00 a minute.

I have told you repeatedly I DO NOT WANT ADVERTISERS, This is not a money making venture for me nor was it meant to be.
You are very close to getting the boot, YOU DO NOT SPEAK FOR ME!

Whats-app is hurting Facebook because they are doing so well, really? It is clear that you are talking out of your a$$ now, seeing as FACEBOOK OWNS WHATS-APP!


If you really want to help the site then how about adding valuable content to it, not BS such as this. Are you getting a commission from whats-app, doubt it, so why push an app owned by facebook and known to sell data? Makes no sense to me.

Having that same problem myself. Landline internet is worthless, having to use my iPhone hot spot.
At least it works.

The reloaded forum is a pleasant change from the "easier/better" changes happenig on many of the other ones. I'm one of the guys who had to ask my 10 year old grandson to program my TV and VCR a few years back, and the only thing changed from then to now is things get more difficult for me, but "easier" for the young people who spend tremendous amounts of time on viseo games sharpening their skills everyday.


Graybeard helped me out when he reminded me about Reloaded. I was on Graybeard Outdoors, and also HPA, but as they update their sites, my level of computer savvy is far too lacking to keep up.


My thoughts are that when Graybeard Outdooors finally initiates the upgrade we may find some more of the boys coming back here to simply enjoy the company and have no desire to learn an entire new format.


Just give it a little time, and we could see an increase in participants.
