It is very apparent Mara has been struggling technically recently.
I do understand Ian has a life, and I definitely understand this crap is hard to do.
It is NO cakewalk for him, I have an Uncle who co owns a MMORPG site, its a challenge when things become glitchy, especially on a site like mara with so many ads and such screwing with the codes and technical quality of the site.
I love this site, and I love a LOT of the people.
I, for one, will not be leaving because of technical difficulties.
Everyone makes mistakes.
I think Ian was focusing so hard on trying to get the codes out for all the new pets and whatnot that something may have really gotten screwed up in the process.
For now, let's just hope that Ian and his staff get right on fixing this site to get back up and running in no time.
