• There seems to be an up tick in Political commentary in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site we know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religiours commentary out of the fourms.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politicion will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment amoung members. It is a poison to the community. We apprciate compliance with the rules.

  • Server side Maintenance is done. We still have an update to the forum software to run but that one will have to wait for a better time.

Please all read! Sim-Outhouse will be moving!

Our hosting company was purchased by Rackspace last year. They are closing the data center that houses our servers and moving the servers to another location 15 miles way.


The move date is September 22, 2018 0:00 to 08:00 Central Time.


There will be significant downtime on both servers at the same time.


Posted by Dangerous Dave today.

Once September 22 arrives, this explains why SOH will be unreachable. Please keep in mind that these are all planned dates and times and in the real work things can take (much) more time than expected.


Cheers,
Huub
 
Thanks for the HU Huub.

Are we moving to a modern in-doors convenience, or the same old 'at end of the garden' one? :toilet_claw: ;)

Cheers

It's a basic law of nature. Everything is harder than it looks and everything takes longer than you expect.

The announcement is about moving and not about replacing or refurbishing. So I guess we will keep the old one. Most probably our neighbours complained about the smell.........................

And a certain Mister Murphy wrote a law on this as well :biggrin-new: Let's try to remain positive. The IT company told us they have a lot of experience. Which means they know about a couple of things which can go wrong :biggrin-new:

Gentlemen,

The move has been postponed until the 14th of October! I'm an optimist so I'm confident it will be a smooth job :encouragement:

And I'm a realist as well, and therefore I "know that worrying is as effective as trying to solve an algebra equation by chewing bubble gum......." (Buzz Luhrmann - 1999)

Cheers,
Huub
