Fred CThe archives are the only reason I'd stay. I'd contemplate leaving if you cannot get technical support and you CAN take the archives.
N54 may be having economic problems like everyone else and they may have furloughed a few people to stay afloat. I just hope the alternative is in better shape and can provide you with a better search engine. Perhaps you can try a parallel site for a while. If you find that the other site works then just move the archives to the next host. If you find the other site is just as responsive and lacks anything better then you can make your decision on how to proceed.
