Your Attention Please!!

Post by KurtHuhn »

A major and catastrophic database malfunction resulted in the corruption of the entire database for this forum.

Best efforts were engaged over the course of nearly a week, but even the backups were found to be corrupted beyond repair.

Recovery was only successful up to around June 24 of 2013.

If you joined or posted after that date, your post or login info is lost.

Please feel free to re-post. Also, please re-create your account if your login info has been lost. Be sure to email either myself or Tyler to get your account active again.

Please accept my appologies for all the inconveniences.

Hey, no apology necessary. The board is a hangout and info exchange for a group of enthusiasts, not a commercial enterprise. We're happy to have it at all.

Thanks for your many hours of fiddly, frustrating work to get it running again.

Hi Kurt,

I missed the forum when it was gone! But I'm super happy to have it back. Thanks for the hard work, money and time you put into it all. We really appreciate it.

Thanks Kurt, glad to see it up again. If funds are needed for a hosted secure server, we still have the $180.00 from the Midwest Meetup pipe. Let me know.

Thanks Kurt! The forum is a great place to interact with others like us, and it's been strange going throughout the day without checking in. Glad it's back.

Thanks for all you do for this forum
and I missed you all!

Ideally, they abandon it at that point, where they are not sure if change, will improve or diminish it.
