The plan is to work on the site this evening and hopefully cut over tonight. We may be down for a little while. I hope we can get it to work......

Shane, Thank You for your efforts. I know I speak for all the guys who love this site.

BR, next time youre down this way, the beer is on me

Wow,

Though I've been MIA, many of you helped me when I was clueless about getting a handle on my boat and her issues. I'm still clueless, but I'm a bit more confident now...and I couldn't be without you guys.

If I have to pitch in a few dollars, so be it. Also, I currently co-manage a website for a university, and have several years of experience under my belt.

How can I help?

Site has NOT been cutover. You will know when it does because a week or two worth of posts will go poof and there could be some blips.

Did I happen to mention that I don't know what I am doing!?!?! :fam:

Well, you have the faith and appreciation of this motley crew!

Good Luck!!

I would like to add a correction. There is no reason any posts should go "poof." I have been downloading backups of the forum database daily. I will do everything in my power to make sure no posts are lost.

Some of the older members of this board may recall when we switched over from the yAbb board to vBulletin back around 2004. That was a completely different type of database and there was no cut and dried way to import or convert it, yet we did it with no lost data.

There might be some lapse in the site's presence online if we don't get off this server before it goes dark, but the migration is being worked on and is a priority project at the moment.

Everyone should raise a toast to Blue Runner for taking on this responsibility. This site deserves to continue and, because of him, it will.

Now, back to work! :)

You're my hero BlueRunner. If your ever in the Tidewater Va area I'll treat to dinner and a drink for sure. Thanks.

Hats off to Valiant for his wonderful support! Note that he does not own a V20 and does not have to help. Same goes for JJURIGA who has also been a huge help in trying to get us set up (except he does own a V20). I can tell you that I could not do it without either one of these dudes....

I didn't realize Valiant was taking backups, I thought the backup I have was the only one, so that is fantastic news.

All that aside, some progress has been made and one way or another we are going to get it going.
