There are a couple problems like this.
The root of the problem is the way GS is currently hosted, as it's just too labor/time intensive and expensive for the size of the site. In the next few weeks, I am probably going to move the entire site to a new server with a host which specializes in sites using the Xenforo forum software, which is what currently powers GS. The advantage will be that I will no longer have to maintain the forum software. Instead, a team of Xenforo techs will ensure the forum operates smoothly and is kept up to date with the latest version updates, etc.
