    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.

Avsim's server problem getting worse (chronically)

Avsim's downloads library is becoming more and more unreliable....server problems again. Think Avsim will have to seriously look at upgrading their systems, a huge number of people go to Avsim and download heaps, not surprising really. Not looking good with continuing breakdowns.
 
They are.

But unfortunately they also have to spend a lot of time messing around with some umpteen dorks complaining in the AVSIM forum that they can't access the library... :banghead:
 
They have also had an Idiot from Poland trying to crack the server root password to take over the server. Good luck to them they have had a hard last couple of months. :icon29:
 
Great. Now we gotta worry about Polish idiot's.

Wait a minute, I might be a polish idiot. :isadizzy:
 
Sorry they are having problems. I tried this morning (May 9) and still getting the error message about the data base. I miss the library. I have two favorite download sites. Flightsim.com and Avsim. :monkies:

I used to prize AVSIM above all others as a downloader, but for almost a year now I have been unable to download anything from there...:pop4:
 
Nobody can

They have been talking about this for awhile and the answer maybe that they shut it down for a couple of months until it is fixed.
