Website disruption

bfeist · November 28, 2012, 10:00:09 AM

Hi everyone,
Unfortunately our ISP who you may remember, recently moved our site to a new server, made a mistake of some sort causing our forum database to be reset back to Nov 23. I've spent the past two days working with them to try to recover the lost messages but they seem to be unrecoverable.

My apologies for this. I will start to take nightly backups of the database for the next while until things stabilize, just in case.

No problem! We'll just have to chat more to make up for it.

Thanks for your continued efforts to keep our happy environment functioning and active.

Yay! I was getting desperate. Last night I actually had to talk with my family. The horror...

I'm going to have to do nothing Thursday and Friday at work to level the productivity for the week.

So let's see a bunch of build threads based on all the model building productivity that was accomplished over the past couple of days. Ben said we had no excuse with the forum being down.

Does searching the internet for new and interesting models count as building? If so, I did a lot of building.

Also I read a really good build thread on RCG. I think with the time I invested in reading it, I sort of built that model by proxy as well.

Whatever helps you sleep at night...

No classic languages response from me, but really glad the website's back! Thanks!

Thanks again to Ben for sorting all our web issues again! He's a diamond geezer!

Anyway, whilst it was down, this is what I was up to.....

Adding transfers to my Sea Harrier, building the wings of my Skywing MXS and finishing my Sapac Typhoon (that has been in the box for 18 months!)

took a wee break from the Cub and assembled a Sbach

sihinch · November 29, 2012, 07:48:55 AM

Looks great - we can do formation aerobatics now with our Sbachs, Greg!
