    Heath, I saw the title of your thread, and I said to myself, "Uh oh, Howard's on the warpath again."

    Didn't we just change servers because of all the downtime. I think the downtime has been about tripled since the change.
    A good race driver, given adequate seat time, can drive any well prepared racecar on any track surface or configuration at competitive speeds. Remember, I said a GOOD race driver!!!

    From what I've been able to gather, the switchover hasn't gone off perfectly -- there are a couple of issues which crop up from time to time -- thus the occasional across the board "suspension!"

    Moving to feedback for a proper answer. . .

    I'm thinking the kenuter valve is leaking.

    Either that or the cam pivot screw has come loose again.

    We've been working on a problem with the generation of error log files on the server. We have fixed three different "contributors" to the problem- each fix got us a little better.

    Sorry for the interruptions, and thanks for your patience.

    We are indeed on a new server, which, when we don't have the error log issues, is much faster and has much more space. It also is truly a stand-alone box, so traffic shouldn't be as much of a concern.

    The problems have not been so much due to our service providers, as much as they are with the communication with them and our learning curve.

    When we get a chance, we are going to switch to new BB software (vBulletin - like AtlasF1 and Indy Star). The new software runs on a database, and should be more reliable and even faster. All the member data and post content / thread histories will be preserved.

    All of the growing pains are necessary to even think about keeping registrations open and to responsibly plan for future user demands. Looks like this is the place to be in 2003

    And we're just crazy enough to do it

    No. That's just what they'll be expecting us to do. . .

    Does either one of those hold down the Piston Return Spring?

    Either one can inhibit phlogiston retrieval from the dual-flux capacitors.

    I still think it's a loose nut between the seat and the steering wheel....
