They probably only routinely maintain the forums every 3-6 months. Or who knows, could be something else. Whatever the case may be, singling out Ryzen or ASRock is pretty poor form on your part. They know how it looks, and I'm sure they're working on rectifying it.

singling out ????????

excuse me did you miss the part where i said

JOKING ASIDE
this may imply to anyone that actually 'read it '
that i dont presume asrock to be using ryzen for its server IT WAS A JOKE
FORGIVE THE LACK OF SIMPLE SMILEY FACES TO INDICATE TO ANYONE NOT READING IT IN CONTEXT
but the broken forum broke the smiles i had entered hence the word 'tounge' etc in the text

now back to the point i wasnt joking about
and that was and still is
if the support forum is broken when a new asrock buyer logs on for support then that would be a very bad signal to send buyers
fortunately xalter one of the mods has indeed explained the issue and it would seem without the need to issue a telling off to myself because he seems to understand humour
thank you for reading this i hope fully......................

The forum server's RAID array had a bad a drive which was causing intermittent connections when the faulty drive was accessed. All should be well now. Even manufacturers internal servers can have drive failures 

They obviously need to perform some database maintenance.
