Thanks everyone for your patience, we have had a couple of serious issues lately. One, we need to move to a new server, the old one is... old and hosed. BUT! There is a software incompatibility between the old and the new forum software which requires developer intervention. We are working on a solution. I may put a paypal button up for donations if it becomes necessary.

I'll keep an eye out for it, please make it large enough to be noticeable.
Do you care to share the stats on the databases for the curious technically inclined? They've gotta' be huge.
EDIT: When I looked earlier, it wasn't showing up at the top of the posts, but now I see it is.

I only saw this post out of an exuberance to scroll down on "Active Topics".
I couldn't ping last time we went down.
Whats the issue? NIC, main board, OS, host server for VM, pass-through module, imbedded enclosure switch, some dummy moved a cable? Inquiry minds want to know.

The size of our databases might appear to be an issue, but we aren't sure yet as none of the testing has been done using our current-sized DBs. We're still testing, and prefer (if we can) to keep our databases intact without pruning - and we are STILL hopeful once we get the right technicians on the problem(s).

Yeah, I need to get more of you guys involved, my time has not been that free lately. Who knows, we may have to try a different software.

Glad you're back. I was thinking that those major explosions at the Fiesta must have shaken something loose on the server...

OH yeah, It's a given.
