BYOAC GOING DOWN FOR MAINTENANCE
saint:
Sometime between now and Sunday BYOAC will be going offline for maintenance in the server center. While they're doing that we'll be tackling a failed hard drive on the server as well. I don't know when or what duration it'll be down during this time.
Afterwards I hope to start a thread about the current and future status of the site. Short version is site's not going anywhere as long as people keep visiting, no major changes (assuming we don't blow up during maintenance!). However, I need help. I need a server administrator with strong Linux skills to help update the site and resolve some of the broken issues (wiki, some issues with the forum database). I have the financial means to maintain the site, I don't have the time, and while I dabble pretty well in Linux, the two issues facing the site are beyond me. SirWoogie no longer has the time to devote here either, and I am extremely grateful for the time he's given us (you don't know how many late night hours he's put in here after a panicked text or phone call).
That's a discussion for post-maintenance however.

Thanks Saint for your hard work.
Does this mean we can get a light gun section now to ;)

That's one of the problems in the database right now. I can't add new forums .... The maintenance this weekend won't fix that. I'm considering paying the SMF forum folks to come take a look at the database to see if they can puzzle out the problem.

Great stuff!
Wish I had the skills to help out alas Linux is alien to me!

I've been offering to fix this place for like TWO YEARS now.
Is your server at least on a RAID10? You could hot swap a drive without issue with no downtime.
