Announcements / FYI: Server Move
November 14, 2016, 03:45:23 PM
Just a quick heads up to everyone. I will be moving the site over to a new server late Wednesday into Thursday (probably around 12:30am EST Thursday morning). I am staying with the same host - the move is simply to take advantage of a newer version of the operating system (due to the way things work, upgrading directly to the new version can't be done easily short of rebuilding the entire VPS, which would result in longer downtime). The downtime should be less than 24 hours, though it will depend on how long it takes your ISP to detect the DNS changes. I will post here and put the site in maintenance mode before I start the move and post here again when things are finished.

Announcements / We're back!
March 30, 2016, 03:01:23 PM
I'm happy to report that the forum is finally back online after nearly a week. Unfortunately, all posts and other data was lost due to a series of hardware failures and no backups (the host claimed to do nightly backups but for whatever reason that option was never enabled on the server).

Everything should be pretty much the way it was, although the gallery will be returning later (I've opted to go to a more integrated gallery option this time rather than using an external system as we had before), and I haven't yet decided if I'm going to put a wiki back up since it wasn't used much to begin with.

Please let me know if you run into any problems or have any questions. Have fun!
