Hey all,

I apologize for any inconvenience the extended outage of the website and/or forums has caused anyone.  The hard drive on the server was losing sectors of data like a husky shedding its winter coat and it took me a couple of days to rebuild the site and recover the data off the failing drive not to mention getting the site back up and running.  I couldn't find the time to get the forums back in action until now.  Sorry about that.  The good news is that the replacement drive is a bit faster than the old one and now I have a good excuse to finish off upgrading the site software this upcoming weekend.  The upgrade should also include a newer, more firefox friendly version of the forums (although don't hold me to that as I haven't seen them in action as of yet).  Sorry again about the downtime, I just wanted everyone to know what happened and why it took a bit longer to get things back up and running.

See everyone soon.

John S.
