Site Upgrades!!!

Over the next few days, you'll likely see the site have features enabled and disabled as we rebuild the software.  The base forums should continue to function.  Please don't panic, we have no idea what we are doing.  Wink

This is in preparation for an upcoming server move.

I wasn't "panic" even when I my account was "suspended" for almost a week!

See what you started Sonny.  You have problems with your account and you bring the whole site to its knees.  It's your fault.

another server move?  hopefully this one has enough hamsters!

It's not a matter of hamsters.  We've been getting hacked lately. Most of you probably don't even know this, but we've been running around in the background making sure the site doesn't crash.  Moving to a new server is part of the longer term fix.

wow, crazy.  hope it works!  you guys must be doing a good job since i'm sure most of us haven't noticed any duct tape and glue keeping the site together.

I bet it's those MLPA folks, or maybe PETA. 

I've trimmed the fat as much as I can for the time being.  I'll likely take the board down tonight to do the rebuild.  When this happens, you'll see a message saying that the forum is in maintenance mode.

is chat gonna come back at some point? it was kinda fun!

Will the upgrades make the site compatable with the IPhone TapATalk app?

If you guys don't mind, can you avoid feature requests for the time being?  Too much else to think about.

But yes, chat will come back at some point.  Not sure when yet.

And TapaTalk is a possibility.

lol, I was just thinking the same thing except for my Android.
Tapatalk is a great way to keep up on forums and much more efficient than using a browser.
