Board Survival

[builder boy]

Fellow members, we must all be Proactive rather than reactive....

The Board was down for 12 hours plus today. We must all come together, as this would be a terrible loss....

Oliver is taking contacts and I suggest we all share contact info so we can at least stay in touch in case of a complete shutdown.

We're on a new server now, thanks to @Orin and @RadioRob.

Thank you Thank you !!!! If you need support let ur know what we can do !!!

[RadioRob]

I'm so sorry about the extended downtime. I woke up to an email from Orin saying the site was only displaying a blank white page. Since I offered to help previously, he took me up on the offer.

 

Once I could login, there was a bunch of things wrong on the current server to the point it was just easier to pickup everything on the current site and move it to somewhere I control and know how to support.

 

This was literally trying to pickup and move everything while everything was on fire, so it was not "perfect". I had to do a bunch of crazy stuff to get things working. There are still a bunch of things I still need to fix, but at least we're back in a "mostly working" state!!

Thank you. I thought we lost it. Suggestion and only a suggestion: what if we made it a non- profit membership? We could divide the annual cost/members. etc.

@RadioRob and @Orin you guys are amazing. It is just incredible how you are able to just jump into something like this and sort it into order.

 

If everything were up to me, we would still be waiting for fire and the wheel.

I too want to thank @RadioRob very much for helping me recover my original account after I was locked out and needed a password reset and I didn't lose anything from my account which is 5 years old next month

 

Thank you Sir Rob you are the best ???

Who is Oliver and how do we share contact info with him?

@Oliver is the organiser of the forum Palm Springs weekend, and is building this list as an extension of the e-mail list he has for sending details of that function to members attending. You can DM him on here.

Thank you Mike Carey for the quick reply. This forum has given me useful advice for years and saved me a lot of $$$ knowing whom to avoid.

Reading you apologize for "extensive downtime" is like hearing a doctor say, "I'm sorry it took me so long to save your life."

You are my hero?, and no apology is needed.

Many thanks to all who have helped to preserve the site and keep things going.... especially @RadioRob & @Orin !
