Hey Folks.....

[Admin]

Just a quick note for the new folks (and "Welcome" - and a reminder to those who have been around a few years..) - as some have e-mailed me asking why the Forum goes off-line about once a week for a minute or two early in the morning (usually Wed or Thurs about 8AM)....

At that time - I'm updating the code, doing a weekly back-up and flushing the server memory. See - this Forum shares space with a few other forums on the same server, and daily, the server takes about 250,000 unique visitors - so it supports a whole lot of traffic. Sooo - for a few minutes, I need to do some back-ups etc. while it's off-line.

Since I do this early in the AM or weekends, most don't really notice, as it's usually back in a minute or two.... The main site - http://www.lugerforum.com and the Gallery sits on yet other servers - and circuits, so I try to leave them "up" if this forum is being backed up - so at least you have something to do for a minute or "three" <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="wink.gif" />

Anyway - that's what's going on from this end for the folks that asked...
