Title: Back on the air - Apologies for the interruption
Post by: Evan Bottcher on November 11, 2009, 12:16:51 PM
Welcome back folks!

There was a hardware failure on the server that runs this site a couple of days ago, and the hosting company had to restore the website on a new server.  Unfortunately this took a lot longer than they estimated.  This has been the first major outage in 3-4 years of running the forum, hopefully not to be repeated.

Many apologies and hope no-one had too much withdrawal!

cheers,
Evan.

Thanks for the update Evan...I was starting to think conspiracy theories...was it the BMW or Audi clubs hacking our website to disrupt the preparations for Spectacolo...I know, I know that's as silly as Germany attempting to invade Poland! ::) :o :o

;D

Continuing to have some problems - a couple of database tables got marked as 'crashed' and had to be repaired.  Not sure why, hopefully it won't happen again.

Thanks for the PMs saying there was an issue!

cheers,
Evan.
