John, I am more than willing to make a duplicate of this forum and rent a dedicated server from which to host it from
Just PM me if you Interested

I am leaving a link to what I have planned

Here:
http://www.vbulletin.com/index.php?do=features

and what it will look "Might" look like

I'm planning to buy a Server with some beef and run some decent software on it to boot...

But this may take some time...





Thanks!

Today we experienced some downtime, sorry for the inconvenience.

The server the forum is hosted on run out of space for several reasons :
  • An increase in the number of files that we host as attachments.
    A very inefficient backup script.
At the same time the hoster experienced some issues
(nothing major, but enough to distract from the problem at hand).

Either way, the issue was easy enough to fix ...
And I have re-written the backup scripts ...
So now we have more room for files :-)

Anyway

Happy new year to you all !!

If it wasn't for this forum, and the prompt and helpful advice listed here, I would have given up on Puppy long ago.

Thanks for making the forum work, and for keeping it working.

Hi all.. just a bit of forum weirdness over the past few days, things like edit counts showing edited_times_total and things like that.. then I found out I'm quite popular! (see screeny)

@ Micko....your popularity is obviously too much for the forum software :lol:

But that's what was happening too, those few months ago when there were issues....see what you've done now?? :shock:
