Forum Downtime

Hello there Members of RcTanKWarfare Forum,

I cannot apologise more for the recent downtime that has occured, Not even the host knows what went wrong. Some of you in various countries may have still been able to acess the site, but for the majority, you will have expereinced a 404 error website not found.

The site is back now, but not for long im afraid. However this is also a good thing, and in 24 hours from when i write this (perhaps a bit less) the website is being moved to the hosts newest server, which hopefull will have less bugs, less 'targeted' by spammers (as every server in the world is) and so safer overall. The bad news is this move may take up to 24 hours, but keep checking the site for when its up and online!

again, i apologise for the downtime as much as i can,

Regards,
The RcTankWarfare - Forums Team.

I didn't realise how much the forum had become part of my routine, strange how these things grow on you. Glad to see it is all back and working again.

Hello Matt.

Nice to see you have been able to restore the site and my best wishes to you (and any other behind the scenes elves) for the pending changeover.

I don't think you really needed to apologize so much for the probable actions of the many twits out there that enjoy buggering other peoples lives.

Best regards,

David
