No one knows why BT crashed. John Lester probably knows why, but he hasn't shared that information with anyone else as far as I know.

As to why it took so long for it to come back online.... again, only John Lester truly knows the answer to that, and the only thing he has said publicly is that he doesn't/didn't have enough time.

I saw on another thread where you asked something about if John Lester doesn't have enough time, why doesn't he pass the controls to someone who does.... again, only he can answer that one, and I'm not even going to try to guess what his answer would be.


Now this forum (which for now is called BT2 but will have a new name soon) has a leader (DocJohn) and a co-leader (kimmydawn) who both devote tons of time and energy to the site.... along with a moderator team who also devote lots of time and energy to work with members.

Somewhere in forum feedback is a post from DocJohn about the actual physical server and how it works and how it is maintained and backed up so that any downtime would be very rare and very short.
