    Just when you think you have everything running some what better...

    You get a message from the Hosting company. Short story they need to move us to a new server. I have been working with them to plan a good date for all concerned. Here is what we have come up with as a schedule.

    1. November 4th 17:00 -5UTC shut off the forums and start backup proceedures. During this time there will be no access to the forums or the Resource Section.
    2. November 5th Continue with Backups and download same until complete.
    3. November 6th 7:00 turn over server to hosting company to move system to new server
    4. November 7th - 8th restore backups and upgrade forum software.

    If all goes well we should be back online on November 8th.

    To keep you updated we will post updates on AVSIM forums.

    Thank you for your support.

A humble apology...

I pulled a full-on, face-plant fumducker. My apologies to Paul Dee, where ever you are, and unmentionable for making an incorrect attribution of the origins of the HH-43. In mitigation, the FS9 download I'd used was a bit short of documentation; IE: there was none, at all.
I should have, I suppose, pawed through 5 or 6 different data-bases of freeware spanning nearly twenty years and encompassing tens of thousands of files to find the originals; I did not. Mea culpa!
Another error, pointed out a great length and detail, was that after an author had granted permissions, I made the courteous and per SOP attributions to that author- in this case, the correct attributions. I found later, to my eternal chagrin; the author had decided after the fact and unbeknownst to this non-clairvoyant monkey, to change his conditions, viz, said attributions.
Fair enough, and his privilege; though I offer in mitigation that I am a miserably inept psychic. Try as I might, I've never successfully manifested reliable remote viewing, scrying, tarot reading, dowsing, telepathy or any other black or arcane paranormal abilities. One divorce attests to my miserable skills at reading minds!
I have been assiduously pursuing rectification, though the pace of said rectification has been deemed inadequate by the injured after the fact author.
If you please, patience is a virtue, and the down stream end of things is quite beyond my control. I have been something of a pest, I fear, in this bid to satisfy after-the-fact requests and changes. Accommodating moving goal-posts takes time.
So...sorry. Won't do it again, even if 'it' was un-specified initially. Sorry, I made a mistake. It happens.
I've never striven for perfection, a goal I've hewed closely too, an end I have achieved magnificently.
I'll try not to fcuk up, down, sideways, or otherwise at a bias, though I am equally certain I will fail.
I'm only a monkey, after all. God-hood, I'll leave to other, less capable hominids.
 
I don't know what this is really about, but I think placing an open apology is showing a good virtue.

Even more so when it is packed in a delightful and well written text :)


Cheers,
Mark

Read the 'delightful and well written text' a little more closely - it isn't an apology, but a tract of irony and sarcasm. Clearly the O.P. is not happy with said Paul Dee.
 
That's why I indicated I'm not sure, and insinuate that it was written as an "humble apoloy".

Well written it was in any way :) . A masterful rant encapsulated in an apology.

Sometimes I have an awkward humor, I must confess. Let's leave it that way.

Cheers,
Mark
