A month ago it was at 3000 now it says we only have 1100 members could anyone explain?

Two words: spambot purging.
Don't worry, all the deleted members had no posts at all, so no content is gone.

Is this why the board was down for a few hours Monday night? The message I saw said the site would be down until Wednesday but it was back by early morning Tuesday.

I don't know exactly when it was done, but if the times coincide it probably is the reason XD Either that or a board update.

I always give my self more time then I need, when the board first started I did an update and screwed things up pretty bad and we were down a few days. Normally it takes an hour to update the board, but if life happens I like to give myself a day or two to get back to updating.

Did something like this happen this last week? Wednesday the 25th some of us had an awful time posting. My communication with the site kept crashing and I had to wait sometimes before I could re-connect.

No, we've not updated recently. Could just be a server issue.
