    E-mails oh E-mails

    By Viggen,

    ...one of the real pain in the ass consequences of having many fake accounts is that email get bounced, ALLOT! Which means the reputation with email providers (Gmail, hotmail, etc..) drops like a stone. Which in the end means almost no emails gets delivered, because everyone in the email-world thinks you really suck!
     
    This happened in 2013 and with most of the internal notification system done via email, hardly anyone ever got a notification that someone replied, or that he got a new message or a post was quoted etc...
     
    Which means we had a considerable drop in engagement as people just did not get notifications... In the end it got so bad i couldn't even send out a single email without having the dreadful "return to sender" mail coming back to me...
     
    Luckily there are companies like Smtp2go. As of September we are using their service and it works like a charm. Not only does everything work again as it should be, now it is even better than before. Their reputation is so good that we can reach now people that had before our mails ending up in their spam folder...
     
    All internal communication (and external for that matter) and notification are now via Smtp2go and you should get now all of them uninterrupted!

    New Forum

    By Viggen,

    ...was about time and last chance, the old forum software was about to expire for good (meaning no more security updates).
    With this 4.0 version we should be good for another 4 to 5 years and than who knows....
    I am also strongly consider to change the whole site to a CMS (custom management system), with about 2.000 hand coded pages no small task, but whatever keeps one busy...
