11/02/2026: We're back! The website and message board undergone a server change and software upgrade.
We went from a VPS to a Shared Business Host server. The old VPS server was ancient with old hardware, operating system and supporting software. That prevented the message board software from being upgraded to the latest version for a long time.
The new shared business server comes with the latest in hardware / operating system and software. That allowed an upgrade of the message board software to the latest version. It is shared server, which can mean some performance limitations, but since message board activity has fallen off dramatically over the years, I don't think we will notice a difference.
Another benefit of the new shared business host server is it is about a quarter of the cost of the VPS. The VPS was costing north of $800 yearly. The new shared business host is a little over $200/year. And honestly that was a huge reason for finally making the change. This should be able to keep us going for some time into the future.
Please report any quirks or bugs you come across here in this post
Thanks... and sorry the board / website was down for so long. There were a lot of issues that needed to be addressed after performing the swap / upgrades.
