MAD is horrible to load up

When I read Elites post, I nipped over to v I t a L and re registered. Still waiting for the confirmed email. I confirmed the initial one, but it won’t let me post until I get another one from the admin…and if the site has been dormant for 5 years…

Having same issue. I took the liberty of my second registration being in the name of laddo as well to force a change if we move ha ha. I did a bit of preliminary research and Wordpress has some reasonable ( Possibly free) community forum software which seems like it would do the job and would be relatively cheap to set up if required. Carton of beer for my time is all that is required. I could probably host it on wordpress.org which is free but like all things free I know it has some restrictions and I cannot vouch for the speed under 5pm UK time load if we lose as that is not a solution I have ever used so might be same issues and given its free will be on a shared rack with 100's of other sites. I would have to work out how to stop spam registrations though so anyone with a background in internet security is welcome to contribute!

V1tal still works for me using old login details.

NCM has been pretty good lately, but I do sometimes get this message:

This page isn’t workingboards.footymad.net is currently unable to handle this request.
HTTP ERROR 503

Is it just me or has the site occasionally been down for anyone else?
