I made the swap to a new, dedicated server this afternoon. There will be a few hours where goofy things will be going on as the Domain Name Servers propogate. What that means is if you posted between 3pm and 6pm central time on the 13th, your posts may or may not show up. If you joined our forums during this time and now you can't log back in, re-register with the same username.

The reason for the few hours of possible lost posts is because I had to move teh ENTIRE website to the new server, make sure everything was working correctly, then throw the switch to have all the traffic come to the NEW server. If any posts/registrations were made AFTER the move, they will NOT show up.

Sorry for the inconvenience, but this was a ncessary step with the growth we're seeing. We're now on a dedicated server. This will ensure that the speed is good.

I have more news coming soon regarding the website, but I'm first going to let the dust settle from the move.

Thanks for the patience!!

Cool Beans :) If you feel the need to "pass the hat" I'll chip in a few bucks to keep the site growing :thumbsup:

Thanks, I appreciate the support, Derek. :thumbsup: If it weren't for the sponsors, particularly Hydratech Braking and Aloha Dream cars, this would be a much more painful step. Their support goes a long ways. :)

Once I'm 100% sure we've made it through this transition period with no hiccups, I'm going to make another announcement. :cool:

Great news Scott.

Does this mean that you've got better bandwidth?

Reason I am asking is now you maybe can turn on the sigpictures again.
