Hi Everyone,
For those of you who were in the dark about what happened to us, we were offline because many parts of Texas were also in the dark, literally. The Forum's server is based in Texas, which had been hit by powerful winter storms that caused widespread power outages throughout the entire state. It appears that the rolling power outages (intentional electrical power shutdowns implemented to avoid a total blackout) had caused the 8mm Forum’s database to be corrupted. We are now back (thank you Brad!), restored using a backup that was made on Sunday 2/14.
I apologize to those members who had no idea what was happening. Without access to the Forum, I had only about 80 email address (from previous contacts) that I could send updates to. I greatly appreciate the other forums that posted updates. Thank you!
If you are among the many that I was unable to contact, please make note of my email so that we can stay in touch.
