There's just too many of us. We're allowed only so much bandwidth (computer traffic) a month. Once we reach our quota, our hosting company cut us off. To avoid these sorts of outages in the future, the people running this forum would have to spend more money. This could easily be paid for by placing ads on the forum. I would definitely not mind seeing ads as long as no pop-ups where allowed if it would keep the site up all month.
During this website outage, I lost 25+ gallons on the floor when a siphon failed, a couple black mollies developed columnaris, and a pregnant molly died when she did not release her babies on time. I had to turn to other fish forums for advice and consolation.
SITE ADMINS: Please PM or email me about running ads. I've helped my middle school son develop enough income to pay for college though unobtrusive and ethical advertising on his website.
