My apologies to everyone for the recent downtime.

Several things were going on, but in a nutshell the hard drive started throwing errors and had to be replaced. Then there were some hardware issues with the new drive, then some software issues, then who knows what else. It's been a long week for me so far. :p

With any luck it's up again for good. I already had a second hard drive just for backups, but I had them add a third in RAID1 configuration with the main drive. So if the drive fails again the 2nd mirror will keep the site up. Not the cheapest solution, but in retrospect something I should have done at the beginning.

Anyway, everything should be back to normal now. Thanks to everyone for your patience. Hopefully some of you got some work done on your Broncos. ;D

Thanks John for all the hard work. I think I spent more time checking to see if the site was back up hoping to get a update on the ARB mass buy. %)
Thanks again.

We all know that you do everything to keep the site up and running. With technology things can sometimes happen, and I am sure nobody holds you responcible.

Thanks for letting Us know what happened, and keep up the good work.

I am pissed. I actually had to distract myself with work. Just Kidding (about being pissed). Glad the site is back up.

I didn't know what a habit I had developed until I couldn't get my fix. Thanks for all the hard work.
