Yeah they are I’m just sad we can’t get tbt anymore
We have some behind the scenes work taking place right now, which is causing slow load times. Bear with us, please!
No one's TBT bells have been wiped or lost. Please disregard any quirks you see on the site for now and don't jump to such extreme conclusions.

Has Staff ever thought of having a link to a Ko-fi or something? You guys are working your butts off to make this forum amazing and I wish I could contribute somehow

GONE FROM TBT
It has occurred to me that it's free to use this website. And, unless I'm completely banner blind, I haven't ever seen any ads here. What keeps TBT running? Is there a "donate" button that I also didn't see or something? Is someone paying to run this whole thing out of their own pocket out of sheer generosity?
Whatever the case, I have zero complaints about anything to do with this site, since it's completely free for me to use. Please take as much time as you need to get the update working correctly--this entire site is a gift to us all.

I think that if you're not a member/not signed in (and you don't have an ad-blocker) then you do see ads on the site. You don't see them if you're signed in as a member though.
Regardless, this forum truly is a blessing. I've been active nearly non-stop for almost four years now and I'm still having the time of my life here!

Regarding donations, in the past I have mentioned the idea of some sort of premium membership or currency as a form of this. It takes a lot to get the ball rolling on a new project like this though, so it has remained on the to-do list for a while. This is a feature I've seen other videogame forums use to raise money. As for straight donations through something like Ko-Fi, I'll consider setting something up if enough people are interested in helping out. The costs have been pretty enormous lately, but money is usually one of the last things I focus on when it comes to the site.
Since moving to XenForo, we have only had a small amount of ads for guests, which is less than what we were previously displaying. This was not meant to be permanent, I just haven't gotten around to putting up more with so many other things we're working on. We used to have at least a few for logged in users, and a couple more for guests. There are a few other places we might try adding them to, like at the bottom of the sidebar. Either way, I've usually tried to keep the amount of ads relatively low.
Regarding the data, I finished converting the missing Feedback myself last night because our data company had issues completing it again yesterday due to bad data from vBulletin interfering with the methods they use. This seems to be a reoccurring issue that's causing a lot of the delays and downtime we've seen. Other than this, the other two pieces they are being paid to complete is converting the bells (with logs), and group discussions. Yesterday I told them to cancel the group discussions. It's my feeling that these are very low priority and not worth further frustrations. That leaves the bells. I will be contacting them about this today to see where we are. If it goes nowhere, I will use my own methods to get these finished like I did with the feedback last night. It could take some time since there are millions of rows of logs. Either way, it will be relieving to finally have more direct control over this upgrade and be less dependent on how another company operates. In other words, after the bells are complete, we can finally close this most frustrating chapter in the TBT 3.0 book.

thank you so much for taking it into your own hands and doing the work yourself even when you weren't really supposed to. I'm sure I can speak for many other when I say we are very grateful for all the hard work and dedication you all put into this ❤
