New server; some info lost in transition
« on: August 07, 2007, 12:48:12 PM »
This is a general announcement to let everyone know that the forum has been migrated to a new server with the amazing help of jones57742.  He has been completely amazing during this time donating hundreds of hours between himself and his IT guy.  I dont think we as a community can ever truly thank you enough for what you've done.

Because of the outdated server, and poor customer service of our previous host, the backup process on the forums took nearly 12-14 hours to complete.  That being said we decided to go ahead and migrate the forum now to save the loss of information instead of doing it on Friday where we would have either had to do another backup or lost several days of info.  As it is we lost just under 20 hours of posts.  Our apologies to any and all affected by this loss.  Please repost any information, questions or pictures again.  I feel that the upgrade to speed and reliability will more then compensate for the minor inconvenience of the lost posts.

To any and all who were having problems with load times, and errors those should all be a thing of the past, and again we owe it all to jones57742.
