I was curious why for the past few days the site was in read only mode, and if you can could you go into more detail on what happened?

I made a little post. We pay for the site through a vendor and the vendor is apparently not very timely in passing the payments along. We’re as tired of the issue as y’all are, so we’re looking into solutions.
Thanks for sticking around!
