Just to let everyone know --

As FCBO grows and becomes busier, we need new servers that can better handle our growth. A 'server' is basically a computer where our site resides. The better servers we have, the more stable and faster the site will be for you.

Our new servers are not only more powerful and offer better / faster storage, but they also are in hardened Datacenter, which makes things much less susceptible to things like weather events. Our new datacenter is actually underground in an old limestone mine. This means things like weather shouldn't have much or any effect on our ability to keep the site running. :)

Soon, as in within the next day or two, we will move FCBO to our new servers. There is nothing you need to worry about or do. The site will be unavailable for a few hours while we move all the photos and files, but it shouldn't be too long. Don't panic when you see a message that says the board is closed, it will only be for a few hours.

Thank you all for helping create a great site.

Of all the different hobby and informational forums I belong to, this is the best run, most reliable operation out there. Thanks for everything you do!
 
This site is addicting, isn't it?
Definitely. The thing I love about it is that it's addicting in the way stuff on the internet used to be addicting.. because it was actually awesome not because you we're being led down a maze of stupidity.
**edit** LOL Cats not withstanding.

I've been using the internet so long that I really can't remember how I ever did without it. Of all the sites that I've frequented two stand out, this one and Scott's CbodyDrydock. Both sites are owner operator and you and Scott are the best - take a well deserved bow!!
