Site Downtime: Our Apologies

[Administrator]

And we’re back! Our apologies for the recent site downtime and thank you for your patience. The site had to be taken offline while we fixed ongoing server issues. Unfortunately, it took longer than we expected.

Bad News: during the fix we had to roll back the site to July 23, so you may notice some recent posts missing. We hope you’ll help by reposting any missing threads / posts that you remember posting.

Good News: as part of the fix, we also upgraded the server, so the site should now load faster than ever!

Note: The search index is still being rebuilt, so search results and your content page will be blank/incomplete until rebuild is finished.

If you should experience any unexpected issues, please reach out to us via the Contact Us link at the bottom of the site.

Thanks again for your patience and welcome back!

Was wondering. Was a member of a forum for a certain NFL team for about 15 years before it vanished permanently one day. Was worried this one suffered the same fate. I just started a build so I’m glad it’s back!

As a retired sys admin I appreciate the work and stress you folks likely had to deal with so a big thanks for getting it back together!

Glad to see you recovered. It’s never fun to test backup/recovery on the production systems.

Woohoo! three days ago i was like "Oh no!! the site is gone!"
Then the messages went from generic errors to we'll be back soon, and I figured someone was on it.
Glad to see it back!
