  • Special Server Maintenance

    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.

OK people, it's that time again. If every active member donates only what they're able to afford, we can easily beat this year's goal of $3,500 (US). Mine is in. The girls at "the club" can do without me for a night.

This thread will remain stuck until we meet our goal or the drive expires.

It might not have been visible to the general public when I posted. "Live" time for public view should be right about now - 1500Z. It should appear at the top of each thread, including this one.

Either that, or more likely I need glasses. Thanks. (y)
 
Well, in just over 26 hours, it's gone from 8% to 55%! I just hope it doesn't stall at ~90% like others have. But then again, our yearly expenses have dropped dramatically since the change in software and hosting.
 
I think this is the fastest we ever reached the goal! But I'll let the older hands of the staff confirm or contradict!

Thanks to all who contributed!

Yes it was. I haven't been here as long as you have, but I do remember the difficulty we've had in previous years in getting to the goal.

This year, it's been like three days and a half?

Cheers,

Jan
