I appreciate that earnest made a post yesterday, or maybe it was the day before, saying that he is not dead and hasn’t given up on kbin. It’s not on this magazine, so I’m not sure where it was since this seems to be the most appropriate one, but in any case.
Reassuring us that things will improve at some point someday probably isn’t enough, and I both moderate and donate to him every month, so I’m a pretty “serious” kbinner. I’m sure we’ve already lost many people who are less dedicated and just want something that works.
This site has been nearly unusable for days. There was the one day recently where it was entirely unusable. Everybody who uses this platform is an 'internet person". We need a platform which is (mostly) fully functional (mostly) every day.
Kbin needs to be fixed.
Ernest needs to give up on this being a one-man show and invite other moderators and contributors. Even I am looking at mbin because usability has just been so terrible that it’s not worth the frustration and disappointment.

Edit: To make this thread even better, I got an error when I tried to post it. Twice.
If Ernest is listening, I’d love to volunteer to help be a sysadmin/coordinate sysadmin schedules. I’ve got like 20 years of tech experience, with a lot of it being handling support teams and administering Linux systems. I know I said I couldn’t because of money, I realized that social currency is worth even more and I like you folks and want this place to succeed.
So if anybody can get in touch with him, have Ernest email [email protected]
