Server hard drive is definitely having an issue. Overnight scan detected & recovered a few minor issues with it. Probably a good idea to replace that drive soon as I can, so I'll be making plans for that. I suppose it's possible that the hard drive issues could cause the site to go offline again, even in a way where it takes much longer to get back online. So if GC unexpectedly goes offline again like the other day, anyone reading this probably has an idea of what's going on. I'll post updates to GC's Twitter/X page if that happens:

Okay, now I'm convinced that we need better emojis / smileys on GC. Right now I could use the smiling emoji with a cowboy hat and sunglasses. Hmm... maybe these two will work for now:

Actually, GC has been on the new server for a few months now, since the end of July. Not a "new" server as in brand new but just new for GC.
Previously, from 2013 through July 2024, GC was running on a server I built and colocated at a datacenter in Atlanta. Now GC is on a server that I'm renting from a datacenter in Kansas City. The new server is probably 50% faster CPU wise, has 2.5x RAM & much more bandwidth.
The site interface / new forum software is still a work in progress. We will eventually get there, though.
