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.
- 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.
- November 5th Continue with Backups and download same until complete.
- November 6th 7:00 turn over server to hosting company to move system to new server
- 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.

Bloody Political Correctness gone rampant!
The 'Grid Girls' get paid for doing the job, most (if not all) are professional models and often use the 'exposure' as a means of furthering their careers!
'Grid Kids'
........how long before the usual muppets get on 'Twatter' and 'Farcebook' demanding Liberty cease exploiting children.
Does this equate F1 with Darts???????
"F1's announcement follows a similar move by the Professional Darts Corporation (PDC), who have ended the practice of using walk-on girls to accompany players with immediate effect".
How appropriate!

Ferry, do you think the 'kids' will get anything more than a passing glance, if that?
Their heroes will be gearing up for the race and focused on their tasks, hardly a friendly environment.
Cricket, Soccer, Rugby and Australian Rules Football (REAL football), for example, go out of their way to include young people in the pre and post game activity, definitely a good idea.
Come to think of it, certain drivers are 'Grid Kids'!
