Hi all,

GT has been down for 1-2 days, this is just a quick update that we are working on the fixes for GT and the site will be transferred to new server soon, you may face 1-2 downtime in upcoming days while site being transferred.

regards
GT Staff..

They need to go to another server entirely, preferrably one in the U.S. imo. I do like GIMPTalk, but have posted less and less each time they go down. I personally believe the more GIMP forums the better, but I do believe I found a cool home here at GIMPChat (still there's GIMPer, but I like it here more). I do hope GIMPTalk finally gets a reliable server that doesn't go down every other day and then sometimes stay down for 2 weeks more or less. Before GIMPChat, I had definitely some withdraw anxiety (especially when I wanted to share my gyroid concoctions where I knew they would be appreciated). lol

To be honest I joined Gimper two days ago, because GimpTalk went down again, and I joined here just today as well for the same reason, but I wanted to check it out here, and hopefully have a new home for Gimp, as I do like GimpTalk myself, but with the fact it keeps going down, and where I wasn't getting notified of new posts or anything like that I posted less, but still visited everyday, and I noticed it was loosing views and visitors each day because of these problems.

I actually like that the most current topics are listed first since it encourage participation in threads that most others would not do in categorized sites. More fun and as a result learn a lot more then pidgeon hole-ing yourself to a single thread (like I tended to do at GIMPTalk). Better then all that, GIMPTalk has had some recent issues again, though I was able to post an ice sculpture bust there just before it got hosed a few hours. I do like GIMPTalk, but issues like this forced me to find a new main GIMP site. I'll participate at GIMPTalk too; like the folk there and it's no wonder since many of the folk there happen to be members here too. Knocking a site like GIMPChat is not cool; just an opinion and many others, including me, have a different one. I won't knock GIMPTalk since I like it too when I can get to it. :)

I have seen more mature posts here than any other gimp forum to be honest.
This site is crisp, and clear in it's design.Easy to navigate and find what you need right away.

If you can not find what you need here, someone will help you pretty quickly i might add.
Also that help is pretty precise in answering.Clear and concise.

You are welcome to stay and find that out for yourself btw. Image

What good is a graphics forum with non-functional image links? I've learned more here in a matter of days than I could have learned from the plethora of broken tutorials at that other site in months.

For sure there are some old problem on GT that tie the hands of admin and mods , and even motivate users and even some mods and admin to leave,

It's working again now. Noticed a few issues yesterday that at least wasn't long term. Might be a hit limit with the site (which I thought the new servers suppose to fix). Still, did get a post in yesterday. :)

I tend to view on-line communities as somewhat synergistic, with forums having an impact whereby their combined effect is greater than the sum of their individual effects.
