    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.

NASCAR does spend tons on promotions and publicity. It's not just racing, it is a show and it is entertaining.

And aimed at the low end of the food chain!
Seriously, I found myself at the final round of the 'V8 Supercars' last weekend and wanted to grab the promoter by the ears and panel beat a few cars with his face!!
Side-show Alley at the Ag Show had nothing on the amount of junk merchandise, bimbos in mini outfits, dog and pony shows, all with nothing connected to motor racing.
I suppose the 'XXXX Hookers' are associated via the sponsor but I want to see the racing, not a group of dumb blondes (trust me, they are!) 'dancing' badly on the back of a flat bed truck!!
The 'Racing' is supposed to be the entertainment, not a support act.

Been a long weekend and I always come away from Sydney feeling pissed.
Must be time for my medication!!
