Extended downtime apologies

[E. Hodgson]

I apologize for the extended downtime (actual amount of time is unknown to me) I have had an extremely busy summer with my family and have been ignoring many sites I host and unfortunately this one bit me.

I fear a database failure may have corrupted some files and there maybe some on going issues while I sort out and repair the problems.

I am thinking about if forum use and people desire to keep the forum running for some time I may look at a migration of software as Simple Machines is getting buggier as years go by. Input is welcome!
