Leon,
Thank you for putting up with all of the headaches that are associated with maintaining and moderating this site. I appreciate the interesting info and the free BST.

Hey Folks
Just a quick note to let ya'll know that I am very, very well aware the site has been up and down like a cheap Who** lately. Again, I apologize. I am chewing the hosting company a new behind but the migration to our own server is in their court. I have definitely let them know that if it doesn't get fixed soon they will lose my business. The new, better service has been paid for, for several days now. You can email me when and if we go down to see if there is any new news, but generally I am as in the dark as everyone else.

Thanks Leon...appreciate you being proactive in getting us a new hosting service. Not sure why it's been so bad lately. I don't remember it ever being as bad as it's been the past week or so. Seems like it goes down for a few hours each day almost.

To be clear it is a new service, ie.. our own cloud server, but it is the same company. It is one of the largest hosting companies I am aware of. They bought out the one we were using. The new one is IOmart. .......we were using Global Gold....all that being said once we get on our own server we really shouldn't have anymore issues.

You posted, so "no" at the moment.....but otherwise "yes", this hosting company has some nice emails from me too. I just got off the phone with another hosting company as I am researching other solutions. I guess it's not as easy as it sounds. The one I just spoke to was called "The Planet" located in Dallas...they just got bought by Softlayer and according to the guy on the phone they do great at hardware but wouldn't be a good fit as they do 0 for any part of the set up. Still searching.

and bad tornadoes in Dallas but mostly South Dallas so far...and I am in very far north Dallas...maybe 30-40 miles from the tornadoes.....but ya'll will see some real doozies on the news. There are 18 wheelers that look like they have sprouted wings and are flying all over the place, until they crash down.

Sorry for the site issues again. If they can keep us up long enough we will be changing hosting companies. Think of buying a car and having a ton of problems out of the block. Then the mfg says they can't fix them (or worse yet, they don't know how). You go to another car. We will be moving hosting companies and I am starting the process today. I don't mind if I eat the monies paid I don't want to use this company, Global Gold hosting, anymore. More updates later. I just want everyone to know this is not going to continue.....at least with the current UK based company. My apologies once again.
