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!

> Thank you all for being patient with our recent forum issues. Apparently, our vendor has been missing purchase orders and it causes a disruption every time. We’re looking into it and trying to figure out a solution that will stop these delays for good. Until then, we appreciate your patience!
