It was a long road, but we're finally back on line with a new server that we control. This means that email functionality should be restored (still working on getting some of the minor stuff turned back on), and uploads have been increased back to 2 MB. It was a bit of work, but we should find that things run a lot smoother. In addition, vBulletin has released the beta for vB4 which I'll also be testing to make sure we're ready for the new software when it goes Gold. Enjoy folks. Hopefully we'll be much more stable from now on.
I should also add that we lost a day or two of posts because of the drive failure. Thankfully, I do backups every few days and download them to my machine. So the failure of the hard drive and the host's failure to keep current backups didn't hurt us too badly.
Tom, I was following the site tweets as well as Leon. You deserve a beer! Welcome back all. Ironically, the day it went down, someone who was following me on FB was trying to sign up!
Hmmm....they actually seem slower to me. Could be isolated to my location though. Cuz it was running blazing fast from my phone this AM.
Thanks for the good work, Leon. You bought a new server for this? Should there be contributions from us?
Man, am I glad you are back! I was seriously Jonesin for some GA! I was very concerned and going through serious withdrawls! I didn't have anybodies email so I could find out what was going on. Please, don't do that again. :haha:
