Good luck with that! No envy from me.

I totally did not write Jimmy-Jo-Bob, LOL.

Scott,

To be 100% honest in the very near future once I get some Tech issues hammered out, I plan on trying to get this whole site, ownership, domain name, IP all that crap, moved into a new NonProfit Corp, that is officially the property of whitewater paddlers in our area. IE we will have a board of directors, I will sign over all rights and let it roll with the next generation of paddlers. We have started that direction by adding new moderators and admins then me stepping out of that role but it is time for the next and final step.

Ultimately I would like to always be involved in the health and direction of this resource but it was never created for personal reward, rather community benefit and to really ensure that continues it is time for the community to step in and decide how much they want it. I got kids and my time is so much different than it used to be that I want to let other people excited about this sport to have the chance to get involved with the site.

Again nothing going to change in the immediate future but once I get the tech side solid again don't be surprised if we have a new discussion about this stuff.

Oh and Scott, thanks for the offer, for now I am actually moving this puppy onto a new server shared with business stuff I do for a living to reduce costs etc... so again, thanks for all the generous offers but were good for now.

Funny side note, no one but Me ever knew this but.... Charles from AquaSports multiple times offered to pay for 100% of the costs, with Zero Recognition, in fact he wanted to be a silent supporter to just keep the resource open. The only reason I never accepted his or others contributions is because my business stuff and this have kind of co mingled in terms of using servers/bandwidth etc.. and I never wanted to have to figure out the exact dollar amount of ProfessorPaddle to ensure I was not taking more than I should for the costs.

Ok yada yada, long story short, thanks well be back up in fast soon.

It is so fast now, that is rad. Thanks!

Gauges will be down until this process finishes, I will do a few manual updates tomorrow and Monday until the migration is complete.

Eh, it's a huge pain in the ass to upgrade a linux box you haven't updated in 10 yrs, too. You do get the benefit that you don't have to buy anything to try stuff out though :)

Yea lame, but really is more of an issue of learning new crap I don't want to learn. IE new OS, new DB, New IIS, etc...

But anyways, be warned new media (ie photos and video) will likely be lost in the transition if uploaded from this point on until we are over to the new server. Problem is that we have a 50 gig drive on the old machine and 38 gigs of media, so I have to take it in chunks. It would be nice to just zip up the whole directory and transfer but it is just too much for this old server and space. Transfering file by file would take a decade so I have to zip up chunks of 5-10gigs at a time. Oh and Harms way to go dude, so far you take the cake for disk space with a total of 4.9gigs of uploaded photos and video.

RE: Lame List, Interesting, I always thought "Almost Live" was maybe the lamest thing ever. (SNARK ALERT) John Keister is the living example of desperate local high school talent show jokes lame and Nancy Guppy don't even get me started on the topic of small town talent...reminds us that the PNW still has openings for real talent- can your chihuahua balance a tea cup on its head? Sign that dog up!

Once again, thanks for all the time and effort you put into this site, Jiminy Creek-it.

Seems I'm getting logged out every few minutes. I used to be logged in for weeks.
