I've taken a break from the site for the last few weeks and I've now decided to leave the site indefinitely. As of this moment I am stepping down as a site admin and moderator.

My main reason for leaving is all the technical problems with the site. Principally a problem with CloudFlare which keeps wanting me to solve a captcha before it will allow me to gain access to the site, sometimes several times a day. HOWEVER, it often doesn't even show me the captcha it wants me to solve!! !! ! Thus making the site totally inaccessible! CloudFlare often bans me from WP for several hours or even a day or more. This problem has been coming and going for some time now and I'm sick to death of it.

The problems caused by CloudFlare on top of all ongoing site error messages. broken moderator / admin tools and slow pages make WP a chore for me to visit and use. There are a number of alternative sites to WP and frankly, in my opinion, the remaining members would all be better off migrating to one or more of those other sites rather than continuing to put up with this shoddy, ill maintained site.

:salut:

I'm really sorry to see you go TallyMan. I've known you on this site since even before you became a moderator.

I hope you find some place that works for you, TallyMan but I think can at least understand your reasons.

I am sorry to see you go, and thank you for all the times you have helped me on here with the forum.

It would have been handy to have given a list of those alternative sites.

Sorry to see you go. It's a shame for all of us that our pleas to Alex about Technical and other matters are continuously being ignored. Hopefully this changes.
