    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.

It is with a heavy heart that I have to pass the news that Dave Booker (DaveB) passed away yesterday morning (16th).
A truly decent bloke and a great friend. He will be sadly missed.
 
We had our differences on many an occasion but I am sorry to hear of this news. Too many familiar names are leaving us. Too many, too soon.:engel016:
 
I second Baz's thoughts. Too many sad departures. Dave was another valued member of our community that left us too soon.

R.I.P. Dave
 
Very sad. He gave me a lot of help and support in the CBFS. It must have been sudden as he was only on here the other day.
 
OMG! Dave! He was such a great guy! I feel I lost a dear friend. He helped me a lot. I don't cry often, now I do.

R.I.P. mate.......

I'm very upset to learn this terribly sad news.
I must admit to being surprised we didn't chat yesterday about HMS Queen Elizabeth arriving Portsmouth. I thought he might be away on holiday.
I have not been on SOH long and in that time I made good friends with Dave as we shared a passion for all things Royal Navy. He was also very helpful about ships, aircraft and everything. A friendly tone of writing and fairly expert about a fair few things. I shall miss him much.

Rest In Peace mate.
Fair winds and clear skies.
 
Hmmmm....

In this Year we have very good news about projects, plans and new updates. They are very good news about simulators too (P3Dv4, new IL-2 BoK, X-Plane 11 and development of DCS) BUT for news about people this Year is disaster :(. Dave! Have a good time and many FPS, proper FM behavior and ect in the second, better life!

['] Rest in Peace DaveB [']
 
Sad to know... a Gent that Made coming to SOH a pleasure. Always very helpful and enthusiastic.

Dave had become a great forum pal of mine and we helped eack other when ever we could. I had no idea if he was ill. Rest in Peace my old mate and thoughts and condolences to his family and friends. Really upset to learn this.
 
Very sad news, really enjoy'd his posts, imput and screen shots, esp if it was classic British and you could land it on a carrier.
