Steve, John, Todd,
Hate to put you on the spot but since no one has asked the question, do you realize that AMFone.net forum gets an Error 500 sporadically and periodically?  Your logins to AMfone appear as if you may not be aware of the intermittent up/down time. Could be wrong but just wanted to float the question.

BTW, today was a good day.

Yes.

No idea what the issue is but I suspect it's related to bots skimming forums to feed AI.  Other forums have been hit.  Again, not sure 100% this is the issue.

Personally John, it's hard to believe that bots are causing the problem. "error 500" generally are issues more commonly found between the specific web site and the host server. Has anyone approached the hoisting company that runs and supports the servers to notify them of the amfone.net problem?

Given the very erratic nature of the web site for the last several months, down during most days when people are up and around, versus up and running fairly normal during the late evening hours. AND, with variations of this schedule almost every day. Us diehards generally pop in almost every day, but I suspect many are or will be frustrated and pissed off and move on somewhere else for their "AM fill". But there is no other totally AM-related web site that has the depth and breadth that we have here.

Amfone.net has provided many years of almost totally related "AM" dialog between the members both domestically and internationally. It would be a real shame for it to slip deep into the shadows of oblivion.
