I made a mainsite update about MFGG's performance improving, but I'd like to share a forum-focused summary of what's happening too.
The MFGG forums share a server with a bunch of other sites. Of those, the MFGG mainsite is probably the one you're most familiar with. The MFGG mainsite generates a lot more traffic than the others. Because the MFGG server doesn't have unlimited processing power and RAM, if one site puts a serious strain on the server, other sites might start having problems as well.
So when you start getting slowness and timeouts on the MFGG mainsite, the forums tend to get slow as well. Sean, a good friend and awesome person I've known for a long time, was super-duper helpful in helping find a solution to the mainsite performance issues. And now that the mainsite is performing well, the forums will have enough resources to operate happily.
Note that there are a few forum-specific issues I'm looking into. I'm currently looking into the feasibility of upgrading the forums to PHP 8.2, just as we did with the mainsite. For the next few days, you might notice occasional hiccups like random PHP error messages at the top of the forums index, or certain plugins (most notably, badges) not working. If anything seems wacky, don't worry - these issues are temporary, and no data has been lost.
