random word
Word chosen by random. Best if a computer chooses it so a human does not cheat choosing the word.
Ex: Great job on looking up this random word via the random word function.

This is really the only part of your contrite diatribe that has any validity.
ESO Learn it, love it..its a way of life around here. Ask any IT person why this site has so much trouble with a not so complex server upgrade
I do pay for the site..its my choice. However, I would never push my beliefs on others ...especially for a site who cant even handle server upgrades without major disruption. No, I dont think xviper is a liar, he is a good man who helps many people. 
Cthree is the owner of this business and makes all decisions with autonomy. Thats fine its his business. That allows him to do that. If you would poll the great resource of IT people who visit (and some of them pay) to surf here, I would bet at least 50% of them would wish this site was co-located.

All right. Attention any and all IT people: Why is it that "this site has so much trouble with a not so complex server upgrade"?
According to Cthree "It's slow because we need more servers and don't have the money to buy them." (source: https://www.s2ki.com/forums/index.ph...T&f=1&t=376100 )
Mike: "I do pay for the site, it's my choice. However, I would never push my beliefs on others, especially for a site [that] can't handle server upgrades without major disruption."
The fact that people should pay for that which they use is not rooted in any sort of belief. It is, rather, but an objective fact.
Mike: "No, I don't think xviper is a liar. He is a good man who helps many people." (Indeed he does.)
So you don't deem xviper a liar. Good.
I guess he was simply mistaken when he penned "Old stuff needs to replaced, and new stuff needs to be added. User-ship has skyrocketed year by year and this places higher demands upon the equipment that runs this site." (source: see link listed above.) Right, Mike, xviper was mistaken?
Mike: "Cthree is the owner of this business and makes all decisions with autonomy. That's fine. It's his business. That allows him to do that."
Really, Mike, what kind of noncommittal gobbledygook crap was that?
Here's a thought: Next time, say something!

"co-located"?
So what of it, IT people?

Yet another say-nothing "statement."Memo to Dave and Mike: If indeed it is true that S2KI's technical difficulties are not ultimately grounded in a lack of money and therefore paid members (a possibility that I am more than just open to), then you need demonstrate to the readership the way or ways in which Cthree mismanages this site. Be (very) specific.
