Why did that change from the generic forum email?

Corvetteforum uses a generic:
forumsupport@corvetteforum.com

So does digital corvettes

I just think the generic forum email is much more professional, granted this is a club site not a commercial site, but I would still think to keep it consistent you would want that generic email.. what happens when that board member decides to step down, it will change again

I changed the email address to my own email so that it is more personal. The Board appointed me as the Forum Administrator and I feel that Forum users should understand who is communicating with them.

It is the same reason that I put my name on every post. I like to think of the ZR-1 Net Registry Forum as a gathering of friends discussing our passion for the ZR-1.

I would be interested to hear other people's opinion about the emails.

That is an interesting perspective, but at the end of the day, that email that says I have a new post is just a bot/automated process essentially..

I was curious as to the way is it and I got my answer.

Thanks

Mine was slow last Fall.

I think it's our local ISP; maybe not Registry servers...

Either way, it would be a LOT slower if the pages had to load JUNK ads around the page perimeters.

If you're in Linux environment, open up a Command Line Interface, and ping the servers. It seems to work like greasing the rails of data blocks transmitting on the line.............................................. ..

Windows cuts off after 4 pings. AND, Windows is slower ANYway.

Get Linux. It's free, faster, more secure, more user-friendly nowadays (I think it's become too Windows-esque) etc.; even if you do Windows, you should load FireFox browser.
