Pale Moon forum is presently protected by CloudFlare, I guess ;)

Yes, it is. Still propagating, and tinkering with the settings to strike a balance.

My mobile complained about Cloud Flare when I logged in via it earlier but re-bookmarking here solved the problem. :)

Yes, because the hosting service provider for the forum had downtime YET AGAIN (an hour...) but that was completely unrelated to CloudFlare.

I must say, the page loadup times do seem quicker now. Unfortunate about the intermittent outages which are an annoyance and not what you expected I'm sure, so often the case that you end up getting less than is promised in the advertising blurb.

I'm just wondering where people draw the line. If you have a *guarantee* advertised on your page and you don't uphold that, then that is false advertising, which is legally not allowed. As it is, I'm thinking hard about moving away from Webhostingpad and seeing if I can get a refund. I just can't believe that people can just advertise whatever they want and then simply not deliver, and that customers continue to take it... If I do, I will say Goodbye to hosting companies in the USA - especially if I can use Cloudflare as a CDN to keep load times low even if not hosted "local".

Sign of the times I'm afraid... the more customers wake up from their apathy and are prepared to stand up and be counted will give hope for all of us in the long run. :)
