    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 that time of the year again, Bandwidth Drive 2025.

Well we are really late in getting the drive started this year. The good news is we have never needed less than we need this year. SOH needs $3,500 USD ($3,237.84 after fees) to keep the hangar lights on. We are looking for $3,500 to make sure all of the PayPal fees are covered. https://www.paypal.com/us/business/paypal-business-fees

Bad news is we need the bulk of the donations before April 9th 2025.

Cost breakdown:
InMotion Hosting server 1 year renewal $2,879.88 (due in less than 90 days but we can pay as soon as we have it. )
Control Web Panel 1 year renewal $142.89 (due September 4, 2025)
Xenforo Forum Software 1 year renewal $100 (due September 2, 2025)
xf2addons 1 year renewal $35 (due April 29th 2025)
DragonBytes Donation software 1 year renewal $30.07 (Just paid because it expires in early March)
Teamspeak 1 year renewal license $50
PayPal fees. $323.78 (This is hard to get fixed number for but we believe we will need to add around 10% to are total to make sure the fees are covered.)
__________________________________________________________________
Total $3,561.62 (assuming that we need +10% to cover all fees.)

Donate via Credit Card/Debit Card.
Donate via snail mail.
