PENDING FORUM DOWNTIME > BACK UP & RUNNING

Post by Mike »

The server will be down from 9:00 am Tuesday while an upgrade of both the server and forum software takes place.

Because of the age of the software running the forum it is uncertain how long the downtime will be, but it could be days. The appearance of the forum will almost certainly change and will most likely be generic, initially, until we have time to redesign.

I know it's a bad time (mid-season) to be upgrading, but the changes were forced by an unexpected mandatory operating system change which will no longer support the existing, very old, forum software.

Apologies for the interruption, we'll do our best to make it as short as possible.

Thanks Mike, ****!

However, under the circumstances, both you and your I.T. dept are getting sacked this week, along with the coach, assistant coaches, bootstudders, half out list, and half the posters on the forum.
It's been one of those weeks, and unfortuneatly something just had to give.

Thank you all for your services, and understanding. :P

Sorry old mate, the tribe has spoken, you are the weakest link and have been voted off the island.
