It seems like after the outage last week, many regulars never returned to this forum.

Perhaps some regulars were outraged by the outage, but I suspect most are just busy. Smile

Personally I wouldn't bother. Regulars do become irregulars, and irregulars become regulars eventually...

I often come to WTR just to find out that the forum is not working. It happens almost every Saturday and Sunday. I do not know if it is done becuase the mods/admin want some time off and close the forum so that crap will not be posted during their days off, but I think it is a huge minus for the website attendance.

I would like to continue to provoke Xela and that Swedish woman to argue like mad, but the only time I really can do it is on the weekends.

Keep the forum running mods on the weekends.

Ask for some pay for working on the weekends and the regulars will stay... Dmitry pay them some bonuses. You are probably do not know what to do with all the money you get from the sonsors anyway... You will benefit from the usual visitors in the long run. Sure I may not say things that benefit some that much (except to Xela) but the others are way smarter than I. They could contribute a whole lot more on here and benefit tons of people thus making your site MORE POPULAR.

I am hardly online on the weekends. Dmitry has posted his email and phone number in the other thread, should you really can't live with WTR for a weekend, just contact him direct and he'll rescue the forum.

It is a database error/bug that can easily be fixed by Dmitri. Mods have no access to it. All we can do is contact the Chief and wait.

Just wanted to say i think the forum is great! Somewhere amongst the fun being had here there seems to be real information helpful to people like me in the US with questions. I am enjoying the fun and taking in good info. for my trip to Novosibirsk. It wilkl be my first trip to Russia and i am both excited and somewhat intimidated, which is probably a good thing... The forum is a good thing for your country, for our country and many others i believe. Don't give it up. whether it is all what i want to hear or not does not matter. The brutal honesty of both sides is what i admire.

Don't make yourself too comfortable, you haven't passed the initiation just yet. Wink
