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.

I spent the week trying to contact Thickos, but his emails are disabled

Some of the "Old Guard" have left the community either by choice or in some instances having passed away. All you can do is make a decent effort to contact him and then in lieu of a formal "OK" just be sure to attach any original readme files giving his due credit plus any current readme information on your upgrade and let it go.

understood, but I would like an authorization from ADM here at SOH, so I don't break any rules

I understand. You do what it takes to put your mind at peace that you did what you felt was necessary.

Mario,
Thicko retired from the CFS2 community about ten years ago, maybe more. (His last SOH login was March 16th, 2016) I cannot verify what he is currently doing, or his status. Given the fact that you have attempted to contact him, and he explicitly stated that modifications to his work are allowed, as long as they are posted on freeware sites, I see no reason why you cannot proceed and upload your modifications, provided you honor his work by including the original readme file for any packages you upload where his work is included.
I hope this provides the clarification you were seeking.
