I notice the actual Max Performance website runs fine.

I figure they got Cloudfare to get rid of the AI bots and spammers, etc.
But there setup doesn't work with an expired certificate. (it's not secured)
Who is the server for here and who manages it?
May just need an IT type guy to muck around.
Don't know what their contract says for the server people.

I often see this timeout message from Cloudflare that suggests this recent episode may well be something like expired certificates.
I am grateful to Maxperformance for paying the bills to keep this forum open. The lack of ads on the forum makes me believe the business value is perceived too low to even justify managing advertisers and sponsors. This makes me even more grateful for the financial and technical support.
The only sources I trust before spending money on my Pontiac are this forum and Cliff's. I shop brands and retailers that are recommended here. I don't trust a thing off social media and don't invest time in any other forums. So I find it hard to believe there is ZERO value to a business in keeping this open but I'm totally blind to the facts.
I personally don't see this forum ever getting updated, given that would be a significant expense to transfer to a new/modern platform.
But we have all seen this run a LOT better in its current configuration than it is now. Something broke. Hopefully it's minor and inexpensive to address.
While it's here, I thank all of you for keeping me interested, motivated, and on a rational path.
Mike
