    Our sticky feature has been resolved as of Wednesday. @Middleman will make an announcement on my behalf in the News and Announcements section shortly so requesting stickies isn't really needed anymore.

    By the way @Petecool, I know you have been asking about this, the ability to moderate your own threads. This is done. We'll release the details to this soon. Will be released in the PlayerUp 1.5.1 update.

    One other thing, why has the website been sluggish in the last few weeks? Pages haven't been loading and it's just been very slo. Do you know the reason why this is happening? @Admin

    Yes we know the reason behind it. It happens from time to time. In short we need to migrate to a new server which will be done sometime between September 15 to October 30, possibly later. Additionally bot and denial attacks are the cause of this. We are behind firewall and mitigation services right now.

    I have also completed an update to fix 2 of the 4 issues regarding the bot attacks and will release this soon. It took 10 weeks to complete this but isn't live yet. Should hopefully help. Additionally, I have already implemented an automated server db reset when this happens which is already in place but this only prevents a server crash, doesn't fix the speed issues.

    If however the site does slow down, best thing to do is just wait 1 minute for everything to resume at normal speed.

    Let me know if the site is moving quicker. The integration was added about a hour ago. So far it looks like things are running smoothly but some tweaks may need to be done still. Additionally, we're developing another script so if people are experiencing "delays" the server will shut down queries eating up the load on the server. No ETA on when this will be completed but that should fix alot of issues as well.
