[mod says] Ben looked into the server problem not that long ago after being contacted by @PhiNotPi, and did some work. We are still having some problems and will contact him again as necessary.
He gave us his word that if the site is to be pulled, the collective will be given due notice. It will not be pulled instantly. We will have time to exchange contact information before leaving. I am inclined to trust him.
I realize your concern. The moderators are equally frustrated with the server issues and we try to do look into what we can we please resist scaring users into thinking we are on the brink of doomsday? The mods have been a little quiet about the server errors because we all have a lot on our respective personal issues plate, but we’re not ignoring the problem.
