    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.

'What's The Problem Over The Years With The Once Dominant Williams Team?'

Williams/Head?
Drivers?
Designer/Chassi?
Engine?
 
Money.

If you have plenty of that, you can afford better designers, engines and drivers.

After Renault pulled out as an engine supplier and tobacco advertising was banned, they've been struggling to get sufficient funds.
Having a major manufacturer providing funds, engines and support helps a lot.
 
You've sparked my memory Ferry.

True money is a big factor but I think the catalyst was the withdrawal of Renault and their lesser years running "Mechachrome"....
 
Frank Williams (miserable git!) and Patrick Head (living in the past).
The money is available, but the above pair have it tucked away in their own accounts.
