Maybe we need a sign over the suggestion box. I know Corion is on here a lot contributing. This is no slight to those who do contribute. Just throwing out there that if things are deteriorating, it might be time to search for more personnel. And there is a problem on this site related to performance and usability that we'd all like to see addressed, and I say that in as polite words as I can. As it stands now, we are circumventing perlmonks to get at perlmonks content, and I think that is what the OP is pointing out.
