Videokarma servers swamped?

It's taken me 4 days to finally get through. One day I got to the main page and the site was being hammered by 22000 "guests". Right now it's about 15000.

I do hope this gets fixed, but the reality is it's gone on for quite a while and it's more likely they'll close this place rather than fix it. The lack of solutions and input from administration are big red flags that this place is nearing the end.

I thought the same thing when audiokarma split away some years ago but to be honest I've not seen nearly as much activity here as before the split. What I do know is I've been a member since Jul 11, 2006 but let things go until I began to tackle my old Magnavox Astro Sonic combo and that's when I noticed my user name never followed so I had to rejoin under the videokarma banner.
Still the same software hosting the forums with the same image size limits. There isn't a camera or phone out there now that does anything below a few megs and this is one reason I've chosen to move my Magnavox posts elsewhere.

Personally I'd like to see this venue active again but on a newer server with security protocols, again I vote for verticalscope but that's biased being I'm on the administration team.

Hi to all,

i hope VK can be archived by some web preservation service or museum entity, there are more than 25 years of precious vintage TV info and it would be a shame if it disappeared forever.

Maybe the ETF, i don't know.
They have some personal web sites archived such as Pete D's CT-100 site, Peter Y's mechanical TV and Roger D's mechanical TV site.
