Hi folks I've scheduled some down time for the site for this coming Friday, February 20, starting around 8pm EST. The down time should last no more than 12 hours, and I will be online checking things over as they are brought back up. Over the past month or so, I've experienced a number of issues that are due to the increase in traffic on the AC/DC sites I host, as well as a few others I run off of the same server. I've decided to make a rather large upgrade to the server which will roughly double the power of the existing configuration and hopefully eliminate these issues for a while. Unfortunately, it is also doubling the fees I have to pay yearly so it is also a swift kick in the ass as far as paying for it goes. Fortunately, I can cover it for the time being. The thought did cross my mind to pull the plug on the AC/DC sites and concentrate everything toward some software I sell. After I thought about it a little while, I realized I'd be lost without these sites and there is no way I could rationalize not running them any longer. Even though my time has been tight lately, I would miss them both too much in the long run. So, for the foreseeable future, both of the sites will stay online and available as they have been in the past. So, please expect the sites to be down for roughly 12 hours this friday night. Also, if you'd like to help out and throw some money toward the site, all you have to do is click any (or all) of the ads in the 'Ads by Google' section. Thanks for your patience, nate

I think we're back up and running. I will be checking things over to see if everything is working. If you find any issues, please post them as a reply in this thread. Thanks for your patience

I did notice this morning (Sat.) that my user name and password would not work. Now I am able to sign in so you must have fixed whatever the problem was. Just in case you didn't know, I am posting here for you buddy. Take care.

It looks fine Nate but I don't know if it was like that before cuz I never tried, the youtube vids are not accessible! Am I the only one who cannot see the vids?

I cannot see the youtube vids. But I couldn't see them before the server upgrade either. I thought I was the only one with the problem.

Thanks guys, I did not know about any issues with the Youtube vids. i do know that some are not always submitted correctly, but I will see if I can figure out what is going on.
