    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.

'Tony Stewart/Darian Grubb Split'

So what's your folks take on this? Good....bad...?
Personally, I tend to think it's on the bad side since momentum is clearly with them & now there's no way to see whether or not their championship momentum could/would carry into 2012.
 
Darian said quite some time ago that he and Tony made this decision at the beginning of the season. It's rather strange and it's unlikely that he will win a lot next year with a new chief, that takes some time.
 
Seems a shame to me to brake up a winning team like this. It was touching to see Grubb's emotion after winning the race/championship in Florida. I wondered if Tony would have reconsidered after that, but I guess not. Looks like Darian will be Denny Hamlin's CC next year so at least he landed on his feet. Heck, after this year's chase performance I guess he could go whereever he wanted.
 
I'd say Stewart will have more pressure in 2012 than Grubb......BUT.....Denny is quite "dynamic" so it will be interesting to see how he & Grubb interact.....
