Forum issues, Mostly Just want to say BIG Thank You!

So today the forum is experiencing some issues, down for maintenance and very slow. Instead of complaining, I would just like to express a Great Big Thank You for an excellent site and for all of the hard work put into it. Thanks to Peter W and all!

Yes! Great job!

Everything should be back up to speed now

Yeah... we love this place.

Thanks Peter.

I also would like to say thanks to Peter for this fine resource. I am glad to see that this site is not blocked in China where I live and work time to time.

Thanks again Peter!

Unfortunately both Youtube & Vimeo are blocked in China.
I have clients there & this is often an ongoing hassle.
Ironically most of Youtube can be found on the Chinese version, youku.com so they're not really censoring much, just making things difficult.

Have you found work-arounds? (Proxies, etc)

Of course, I have (with a smile). Only the video posted on this site is blocked. Everything else can be viewed fine most of the time.
