Store Vs Forum

[crusaderuk]

Since the .17 update was launched it takes me sometimes upto 20 mins to access a forum page (after multiple attempts and page failures), which can be pretty darn frustrating to say the least.

I'd like to make a suggestion :-

Perhaps in the near future it would be possible to host the Store and Forum on separate servers (or domains), so that at such times when an update is realeased we are still able to view/post/discuss it on the forums.

I know that the traffic is only temporary (until everyone has updated), but I think it would still make sense to do this and maybe even add a 'Donate' button for those of us willing to give a dollar or so for the upkeep of the Forum.

Just my two-pennies worth - feel free to discuss, oppose,, tell me I'm a dodo etc (lol)

I agree, with both the forum and the download running on the server, there isn't the bandwidth to do both properly. I only have a transfer rate of 103 KB/S right now, and that download just stalled.
