November Downtime

[John]

Sorry for all that recent downtime this past week.

In short, the server hard drive went haywire and was hanging on by a thread. So I shut everything down to minimize load on the hard drive (so it didn't crash completely) while I worked on sorting everything out.

In addition, I also had been wanting to change the virtualization software that I use for hosting and figured this was as good a time as any to do it. However, doing that did extend the downtime a bit more.

Web server wise, we should be in the clear at least for now.

Thank you, John, for keeping the board running and up to date. This Thanksgiving Season, I'm giving thanks for YOU!

Thank you for continuing this site, John.

I'm still having a few issues with GC today.

Earlier this morning your server kept giving me a false "bad password/log-in name" refrain. It also kept stating I'd used all five log-in attempts when I'd only tried once. But eventually and for now, I've been properly logged-in.

In addition, I cannot access the main greekchat homepage by simply typing "greekchat.com" to Google then clicking- on. Doing so still takes me to the "Greekchat.com is Offline" page.

Because the main greekchat homepage is gone to me, i must instead type the Page Title of whatever GC Thread.i wish to see into my computer or phone to be able to participate in/read GC.

While I'm not the best at being computer savvy, I'll keep attempting other maneuvers to view/use GC and let you know of any other issues.

ETA: "Quick Post" function isn't working, had to hit regular "Post Reply" button instead.
