Most folks probably don't care but I thought I would explain the latest issue we had. Our current hosting provider is a VPS Virtual Private Server which resides on a server with multiple VPS servers running side by side. I have full system admin on our VPS. The main server had a backup process that got stuck in a loop which ate up all of the available disk space. The forum software and website run on a databases which contains multiple tables. Databases do not take kindly to running out of disk space and table corruption occurs. The corrupt table needs repaired. You cannot do that on a live database without going through the back door which requires using the command line interface on the VPS. Once the disk space was fixed I repaired the corrupt table. I decided to take this time to do some additional cleanup on the VPS which included updating software packages that needed updating. We should be back in business.

A gorgeous day, parts arrived to install, and the 311s.org Forum is back up. Pretty nice 70th birthday so far.
