re: why can't other forums master the layout like Chicken and co. have done?

2. Rarely, that I can recall, that this site goes down.

3. Rarely, do you see speed issues.

This isn't true. The Rant has these two issues more than any other site I go to. That's just a fact

I'm not sure what is considered acceptable by today's standards. I do know my standards, and site's stability its acceptable to me. I'm on here off and on, everyday. I could be mistaken, but I only remember the site going down 2-3 times in 2019 (which could be borderline high). Since we dont know why, I'm not going to point at the framework, because some of those "could be" normal hardware failure. Most hardware failure is unavoidable, and gets a pass from me.
In 2018, I dont recall it going down at all. If it did, it wasnt when I was trying to get on. For that reason, I used "rarely", instead of never or always. I dont disagree that it goes down more than the newer, modern sites, because I'm not on those as often as this one.

The beauty about this site, as others mentioned, is the simplicity to navigate and the super clean format of all the different forums. It's a give and take. Keeping it classic and easy, without the bells & whistles a modern framework would give, is a good tradeoff for my taste.

My only complaint is the extra steps required to post pics.

I understand where you're coming from, bro.
You make some good points, especially notifications. I turn it off on most all sites to avoid the email clutter.
