I’m gutted at what’s happened to this site…for me it was arguably the best website i’ve ever used in 25+ years of using the internet…such a shame…I really hope that just for once somebody listens to the complaints & puts things back as they were,otherwise it’s useless to me.
Buying servers and bandwidth for long term will literally cost anyone worth of 2 mortgages in city centers, hardware costs are borderline ridiculous these days, let alone maintaining them for 24/7 in a air conditioned room. Those who provide the hosting services are robber barons - they weigh your needs and play the good buddy; and when you are completely reliant on them, then suddenly one day, the price hikes without a proper explanation, because shifting to another provider would cost downtime and extra $$ for file and model transfers.
