O/T Site Maintenance Going On - Update 10:19am 10/6/25

[Leon]

We are currrently in the middle of doing a HDD to SSD hard drive upgrade and backing up data etc... The site will be intermittently slow until we get it done, which will probably be a day or less. And it could go down for a few minutes too...

And in the next day or two it will come down for 2-3 hours when we do the crossover. It will be done in the wee hours of the morning. So, for all of you night owls, you'll be without the forum for a bit.


Thanks for everyone's patience.

This is the IT department working on it so no worries.

I thought it was an early Microsoft company team.

We were down for about 10-15 minutes a little bit ago.
I want to reiterate, the maintenance is currently going on. After speaking with the hosting company, we believe it had to do with the processes in the background. Thanks again for your patience...

Obviously the forum is still experiencing some issues. We are working through them.

We know the site has been down some today. The HDD upgrade is underway and that is what is causing most of this. If the site is ever down, it's being worked on to get it back going again. We are also looking at longer term strategies and getting away from this s/w, as it's been outdated for many years. But, I want the look to be similar as the structure is made for what we do, imo...we'll see.

ALSO, there are some database issues being worked on too. You might experience posting and not having any info in the post. Please PM me if that happens after 1015 am CST, 10/6/25....

Thanks!
