Orchidgeeks used to be a pretty happening forum until they started having similar technical issues a few/couple years ago. The forum ultimately died back considerably, and while I can't say 100% sure it was due to outages and performance, the timing was very coincidental.

I gave up on Orchidgeeks when the site was completely down for a week straight. There was no advanced warning. There were no social media posts or other methods of communicating the progress or expected outage time. For me, that was unforgivable. A simple tweet along the lines of "We're going to be down until at least Monday." would have been infinitely better than absolutely nothing.

Unfortunately, I'm inclined to agree with others about this site. I'm still here for the time being, but I've cut my contribution way back due to the level of frustration of participating here and the seeming lack of communication from anybody that might be able to explain or fix the issues.
