What's up with PSW?

I don't know where PSW hosts, but just FYI our server is in Newark, we're incorporated in Delaware, most of the administration happens in Boston, and Cloudflare serves most of what you see here from their closest machine. Point being, their server could be anywhere. There are a few geolocation services that might tell you if you resolved their DNS record.

That's true. I guess my theory is pretty much shot anyway, cause now Tim and Klaus are having the issue again.

What's PSW? Hmmmm, I think I've been back there to post in classifieds a couple times since SFN started up, and no regrets - I have not felt like I have missed anything of importance by not participating back there. I much prefer the "common sense" moderation and atmosphere here and the name familiarity of members here that in some cases has continued for MANY years.

I also appreciate that this site is well handled from a technical perspective, and Bennett, David and crew are transparent about what they're doing (even in terms of $) and are open to suggestion in that regard. PSW hasn't exactly had a stellar track record in that area.

I am pretty sure PSW doesn't miss those who are publicly critical of them and no longer visit. There's no need to be defensive either way; We're not trying to be them, and publicly available traffic stats show they're doing just fine. At the end of the day they have a magazine and a content centric site to run, with a forum that is a small part of that. In total PSW is many times larger than SoundForums.Net, but that's fine. I'm just glad we can do what we do, be an interesting place for many to visit, and run a few ads to pay the bills. If we had to be a business and pay people's salaries it would be very hard to be so objective.
